Dedicate some of your life to others. Your dedication will not be a sacrifice. It will be an exhilarating experience because it is an intense effort applied toward a meaningful end.
Dr. Thomas Dooley
The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Aleister Crowley
Whoever is related to me in the height of his aspirations will experience veritable ecstasies of learning; for I come from heights that no bird ever reached in its flight, I know abysses into which no foot ever strayed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man tells his aspiration in his God; but in his demon he shows his depth of experience.
Margaret Fuller
I'm afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security.
Jim Garrison
The country experience was more of a departure. When you consider my education and my upbringing, you can see that was more of country rock outgrowth of my popular music aspirations.
Tom Wopat
Condense some daily experience into a glowing symbol and an audience is electrified
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A most unfailing experience ... of the excitement of sublunary (that is, human) natures by the conjunctions and aspects of the planets has instructed and compelled my unwilling belief.
Johann Kepler
What experience and history teach is this - that nations and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted upon any lessons they might have drawn from it
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Awareness requires a rupture with the world we take for granted; then old categories of experience are called into question and revised.
Shoshana Zuboff
As much experience, education and awareness as one can attain is important for a comedian.
Shelley Berman
At the top of the ladder is awareness, or pure experience - the edge of yourself, and possibly the beginning of God
Barry Long
You can only get next to God through the effort of preparation. To experience the uncreated, the state of awareness will have to be held for several minutes. You are then between time and the time-less - waiting for the unknown, which will come but cannot be willed.
Barry Long
Although it is difficult to pinpoint the physical base or location of awareness, it is perhaps the most precious thing concealed within our brains. And it is something that the individual alone can feel and experience. Each of us cherishes it highly, yet it is private
Dalai Lama
