Your Very Best Quote of the Week -Vol. 16

Spread the love

 

Each Saturday [or thereabouts] I share with you a really good quote. Now, the weekly quote may be one that I enjoy the most or perhaps one that is quite controversial, or unusual, or thought-provoking.

You may agree with it. Or not.
Either way, please let me know what you think.

“As one matures in spiritual life,
One becomes more comfortable with paradox,
More appreciative of the life’s ambiguities,
Its many levels and inherent conflict.
One develops a sense of life’s irony, metaphor, and humour
And the capacity to embrace the whole,
With its beauty and outrageousness,
And the graciousness of the heart.”
Jack Kornfield

“You have to face your fear.
And do the same with anger,
Do the same with jealousy,
Do the same with hatred.
And a significant point to remember is:
If you witness anything—fear, anger, hate—
If you simply watch them as they arise,
Without any judgement or condemnation,
They will disappear,
Leaving a tremendous amount of energy that you can use for creativity.”
OSHO

“We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure.
It is a powerful obstacle to growth.
It assures the progressive narrowing of the personality
And prevents exploration and experimentation.
There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling.
If you want to keep on learning,
You must keep on risking failure—all your life.”
John W. Gardner

We are holy.
All life is holy.

The whisperings of grasses, the shimmering of leaves”.

“It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated.
We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality,
tied into a single garment of destiny.
Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
