Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further. ~ ~ For those who may not find happiness to exercise religious faith, it's okay to remain a radical atheist, it's absolutely an individual right, but the important thing is with a compassionate heart -- then no problem. ~ ~ Faith is a passionate intuition. ~ ~ If you can once engage people's pride, love, pity, ambition (or whatever is their prevailing passion) on your side, you need not fear what their reason can do against you. ~ ~ The passions grafted on wounded pride are the most inveterate; they are green and vigorous in old age. ~ ~ Patience is passion tamed. ~ ~ Patience is passion tamed. ~ ~ Never let your persistence and passion turn into stubbornness and ignorance. ~ ~ Happy is he who has laid up in his youth, and held fast in all fortune, a genuine and passionate love for reading ~ ~ Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. ~ ~ I have no respect for the passion of equality, which seems to me merely idealizing envy. ~ ~ Volunteering creates a national character in which the community and the nation take on a spirit of compassion, comradeship and confidence. ~ ~ Nurses dispense comfort, compassion, and caring without even a prescription. ~ ~ Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity. ~ ~ Passion requires focused direction, and that direction must come from three other areas: your purpose, your talents, and your needs. ~ ~ Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation. ~ ~ Fame is the shadow of passion standing in the light ~ ~ Sudden glory is the passion which makes those grimaces called laughter. ~ ~ "Worse than idle is compassion if it ends in tears and sighs." ~ ~ So, I think thatís the centerpiece of morality: Donít lie. But to do that, you have to go a step further and find out what the truth is. You know, itís easy to say, ěIíll never tell a lie.î But if you say, ěIím going to speak the truth,î youíre going to have to work damn hard to find out what the truth is. The next thing is just plain, old, simple kindness: to other people, to your family. Love for other people. I think thatís another very important part of morality, being genuinely compassionate and concerned about the feelings and well being of other people, especially those that depend on you directly. ~ ~ ...when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings. ~ |
