Only a soul full of despair can ever attain serenity and, to be in despair, you must have loved a good deal and still love the world.
Blaise Cendrars
Image
We dream of having a clean house - but who dreams of actually doing the cleaning? We don't have to dream about doing the work, because doing the work is always within our grasp the dream, in this sense, is to attain the goal without the work.
Marcus Buckingham
Image
I think it is a pity to lose the romantic side of flying and simply to accept it as a common means of transport, although that end is what we have all ostensibly been striving to attain.
Amy Johnson
Image
You should stop searching for phrases and chasing after words. Take the backward step and turn the light inward. Your body-mind of itself will drop off and your original face will appear. If you want to attain just this, immediately practice just this.
Dogen
Image
Note to self: It's hard to attain a state of no-mind when you're incredibly pumped up on tea and sugar and have to urinate every three and a half minutes.
Jordan Sonnenblick
Image
In order for man to succeed in life, God provided him with two means, education and physical activity. Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together. With these means, man can attain perfection.
Plato
Image
The simplicity that all this presupposes is not easy to attain. I find that my life constantly threatens to become complex and divisive. A life of prayer is basically a very simple life. This simplicity, however, is the result of asceticism and effort: it is not a spontaneous simplicity.
Thomas Merton
Image
Unless we base our sense of identity upon the truth of who we are, it is impossible to attain true happiness.
Brenda Shoshanna
Image
It is not a pumping-in from the outside that gives wisdom it is the power and extent of your inner receptivity that determines how much you can attain of true knowledge, and how rapidly. You can quicken your evolution by awakening and increasing the receptive power of your brain cells.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Truth is not far away. It is nearer than near. There is no need to attain it, since not one of your steps leads away from it.
Dogen
Image
The trouble with being number one in the world - in anything- is that it takes a certain mentality to attain that position, and that is something of a driving, perfectionist attitude, so that once you do achieve number one, you don't relax and enjoy it.
Billie Jean King
Image
We must set limits to our wishes, curb our desires, moderate our anger, always remembering that an individual can attain only an infinitesimal share in anything that is worth having and that on the other hand, everyone must incur many of the ills of life
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
What manner of mind considers this holy estate [pregnancy] which women are privileged by the Almighty to attain as a slur upon the social conscience?
Grantly Dick-Read
Image
It's hard to put what it means into words. It's just a dream I had when I was a little kid. It's not every day [you] get to make your lifelong dream come true. The point of doing things in life is you pursue a goal, and you go after it, you reach it and you pick another one. But they're hard to attain.
Jonathan Horton
Image
And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.
Bodhidharma
Image
The best way to create a purposeful life is to allow the soul's decision to precede the body's action. One does not do something in order to be compassionate, one is compassionate and, therefore, does certain things in certain ways. The actions of the body were meant to be reflections of a state of being, not attempts to attain a state of being.
Neale Donald Walsch
Image
We need a broad commitment to human rights across the board. We cannot attain that simply by protecting one oppressed group or the other.
Jill Stein
Image
I believe the greatest successes you will ever attain are still waiting for you on the road ahead.
Brian Tracy
Image
It is better to excel in any single art than to arrive only at mediocrity in several, so moderate skill in several is to be preferred where one cannot attain to perfection in any.
Pliny the Younger
Image
The air of fashion, which many young people are so eager to attain, always strikes me like the studied attitudes of some modern prints, copied with tasteless servility after the antigue the soul is left out, and none of the parts are tied together by what may properly be termed character.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Image
Education is all about igniting young minds and enabling them to attain their fullest potential.
Nita Ambani
Image
If you cannot attain knowledge without torturing a dog, you must do without knowledge.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Unless you really understand others, you can hardly attain your own self-understanding.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
If we practice the science of yoga, which is useful to the entire human community and which yields happiness both here and hereafter - if we practice it without fail, we will then attain physical, mental, and spiritual happiness, and our minds will flood towards the Self.
