Someone once
said, "How does it profit a man to have gained the
whole world and lost his soul?" Someone else said
"I'm lost but I'm making good time."
Okay, that last was from Yogi Berra. With or without the humor,
though, these kinds of short pithy quotes touch us in a way that
an argument or explanation can't.
They don't argue
or explain at all, but instead point to an aspect of truth for
us to see and understand, each in our own way. They introduce
us to new ideas, sometimes helping us see in seconds what we
had never understood in years. Here are some of my favorites.
Insanity
is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different
results.
Albert Einstein
I look
at the world, and there is nothing to think... nothing to say...
nothing to do... nothing to feel... but gratitude.
Steve Gillman
Start
by doing what's necessary, then what's possible,
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Francis of Assisi
To accomplish
great things, we must not only act, but also dream;
not only plan, but also believe.
Anatole France
It is impossible
for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows
Epictetus
Some men see things
as they are and say, "Why?"
I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw
When you meet someone
better than yourself,
turn your thoughts to becoming his equal.
When you meet someone not as good as you are,
look within and examine your own self
Confucius
It is common sense
to take a method and try it; if it fails,
admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Never mistake motion
for action.
Ernest Hemingway
Once the game is
over, the king and the pawn go back into the same box.
Italian proverb
What lies behind
us and what lies before us
are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the beginner's
mind there are many possibilities,
but in the expert's there are few.
Shunryu Suzuki
The eye, with which
I see God, sees me;
my eye and God's eye is one eye, one seeing
one realizing and one love
Meister Eckhard
Heaven never helps
men who will not act.
Sophocles
Restless man's mind
is,
So strongly shaken
In the grip of the senses...
Truly I think
The wind is no wilder.
Bhagavad Gita
Adversity introduces
a man to himself.
Anonymous
In music, in the
sea, in a flower, in a leaf, in an act of kindness...
I see what people call God in all these things.
Pablo Casals
God respects me
when I work, but he loves me when I sing.
Rabidranath Tagore
Just because a man
lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision.
Stevie Wonder
In the world to
come they will not ask me, "Why were you not Moses?"
They will ask me, "Why were you not Zusya."
Zusya of Hanipoli
The last of the
human freedoms is to choose one's attitudes.
Victor Frankl
He not busy being
born is busy dying.
Bob Dylan
We cannot become
what we need to be by remaining what we are.
Max DePree
If you want to know
your past - look into your present conditions.
If you want to know your future - look into your present actions.
Buddhist Saying
Great minds have
purposes, others have wishes.
Washington Irving
