“Nor do we accept, as genuine the person not characterized by this blushing bashfulness, this youthfulness of heart, this sensibility to the sentiment of suavity and self-respect. Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds. None are truly great without this ornament.” MindHeartPersonsSelfAcceptingFineFairsGenuineMannersSelf RespectSentimentsReverenceModestySensibilityOrnamentsYouthfulnessBlushingBashfulness Book:Tablets Source: Tablets
“An authentic and genuine life grows like a sturdy tree. And like a tree, it grows slowly. Every time you make a different and better decision, it grows a little. Every time you choose to do the right thing, even when nobody would find out otherwise, it grows a little. Every time you act with compassion, relinquish your right to strike back, take a courageous stand, admit fault or accept responsibility, it grows a little.” LittlesDifferentGrowsDecisionResponsibilityCompassionAcceptingTreeFaultsStrikesGenuineRight ThingCourageousYou ChooseSturdyStrike BackGenuine Life Author:Steve Goodier

“Honesty comes only with sound health, physically and psychologically, and an honest mind cannot be separated from the most genuine acknowledgment of expression. It should be recognized that pure perfection is unobtainable. Therefore, the realization that one's irrevocable faults and deficiencies must be faced guides us toward the first step of learning. We must each accept any situation as it actually is, with dignity. In that fine balance of acceptance of self and the mission to better oneself, compassion, humility, and discipline are nurtured.” ShouldMindFirstsSelfSoundCompassionSituationAcceptingStepsHonestHonestyAcceptanceHumilityExpressionFineBalanceDisciplinePureDignityPerfectionFaultsOneselfMissionsGuidesGenuineRealizationSelf AcceptanceFirst StepsDeficiencyAcknowledgmentIrrevocable Author:Midori Goto
“The human brain finds it extremely hard to cope with a new level of abstraction. This is why it was well into the eighteenth century before mathematicians felt comfortable dealing with zero and with negative numbers, and why even today many people cannot accept the square root of minus-one as a genuine number.” PeopleHumansWellsHardTodayFeltLevelsNumbersBrainAcceptingCenturyComfortableNegativeRootsGenuineZeroSquaresMathematicianAbstractionHuman BrainMinusSquare Roots Author:Keith Devlin
