Quotes On Seeking Truth
‘If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, no touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony, We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.’
Mitsugi Saotome
‘The hunger for facile wisdom is the root of all false philosophy.’
George Santayana
‘You may wonder, “How can I leave it all behind if I am just coming back to it? How can I make a new beginning if I simply return to the old?” The answer lies in the return. You will not come back to the “same old thing.” What you return to has changed because you have changed. Your perceptions will be altered. You will no incorporate into the same body, status, or world you left behind. The river has been flowing while you were gone, now it does not look like the same river.’
Steven Foster
‘Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid.’
‘The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people’.
‘Only barbarians are not curious about where they come from, how they came to be where they are, where they appear to be going, whether they wish to go there, and if so, why, and if not, why not.’
Isaiah Berlin
‘A man is wise with the wisdom of his time only, and ignorant with its ignorance.’
Henry David Thoreau
‘Follow your instincts. That’s true where wisdom manifests itself.’
Oprah Winfrey
‘If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own.’
Johann Goethe
‘I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it.’
Pear L. Buck
