The wise man understands his weakness and seeks to find a lesson from it. The fool lets it control and destroy him.
Christie Golden
Image
Every single being, even those who are hostile to us, is just as afraid of suffering as we are, and seeks happiness in the same way we do. Every person has the same right as we do to be happy and not to suffer. So let's take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.
Dalai Lama
Image
To face a man in combat is challenge enough. To find the goddess in a woman is the life work of a man. Hard though the first may be, the second is the harder longer road. But every man seeks the woman of the dream, and only the best of men finds what he seeks.
Rosalind Miles
Image
Married love burns as fire, and seeks nothing more than the mate. It says, I want only you
Martin Luther
Image
Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly all nature seeks God and works toward [God].
Meister Eckhart
Image
As it grows ever more complicated today, musical art seeks out combinations more dissonant, stranger, and harsher for the ear. Thus, it comes ever closer to the noise-sound.
Luigi Russolo
Image
Selfishness and demagoguery take advantage of liberty. The selfish hand constantly seeks to control government, and every increase of governmental power, even to meet just needs, furnishes opportunity for abuse and stimulates the effort to bend it to improper uses.
Charles Evans Hughes
Image
It is certain that the love of God does not consist in this sweetness and tenderness which we for the most part desire but rather in serving Him in justice, fortitude, and humility. His Majesty seeks and loves courageous souls.
Teresa of Avila
Image
A writer paradoxically seeks the truth and tells lies every step of the way.
Anne Lamott
Image
If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge him? The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this very well. It says they should not be marginalized because of this (orientation) but that they must be integrated into society. The problem is not having this orientation. We must be brothers.
Pope Francis
Image
For humanism also appeals to man as man. It seeks to liberate the universal qualities of human nature from the narrow limitations of blood and soil and class and to create a common language and a common culture in which men can realize their common humanity.
Christopher Dawson
Image
Despair, in short, seeks its own environment as surely as water finds its own level.
Al Alvarez
Image
Art is often born from inner struggle. Artists are plagued by impulses they must express. Contentment does not seek action but struggle always seeks release, and for the creative it can take the form of art.
Eric Gibbons
Image
Because, according to the sage Solomon, wisdom does not enter into a soul that seeks after evil, and knowledge without conscienceis the ruin of the soul, it behooves you to serve, love and fear God and to put all your thoughts and hope in him, and by faith founded in charity, be joined to him, such that you never be separated from him by sin.
Francois Rabelais
Image
Philosophy... is indeed outrageous, inherently so. It seeks to disquiet the foundations of our lives and to offer us in recompense nothing better than itself- and this on the basis of no expert knowledge, of nothing closed to the ordinary human being, once... [one] lets himself or herself be informed by the process and ambition of philosophy.
Stanley Cavell
Image
Love, you know, seeks to make happy rather than to be happy.
Ralph Connor
Image
Islamophobia, in all its guises, seeks to minimise the importance of the individual and maximise the importance of the group. Yet our instinctive stance ought to be one of suspicion towards such endeavours. For individuals are undeniably real. Groups, on the other hand, are assertions of opinion.
Mohsin Hamid
Image
He who seeks eternity should look at the sky, he who seeks the moment, should look at the cloud.
Mia Couto
Image
Love is the key to the mystery. Love by its very nature is not selfish, but generous. It seeks not its own, but the good of others. The measure of love is not the pleasure it gives-that is the way the world judges it-but the joy and peace it can purchase for others.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Real life seeks the gentle slopes at the back of Mount Improbable, while creationists are blind to all but the daunting precipice at the front.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The impression forces itself upon one that men measure by false standards, that everyone seeks power, success, riches for himself, and admires others who attain them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing in life.
Sigmund Freud
Image
A writer out of loneliness is trying to communicate like a distant star sending signals. He isn't telling or teaching or ordering. Rather he seeks to establish a relationship of meaning, of feeling, of observing. We are lonesome animals. We spend all life trying to be less lonesome.
John Steinbeck
Image
The heart of true womanhood knows where its own sphere is, and never seeks to stray beyond it!
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Image
Whatever a man seeks, honors, or exalts more than God is the god of his idolatry.
