“The question that faces every man born into this world is not what should be his purpose, which he should set about to achieve, but just what to do with life? The answer, that he should order his life so that he can find the greatest happiness in it, is more a practical question, similar to that of how a man should spend his weekend, then a metaphysical proposition as to what is the mystic purpose of his life in the scheme of the universe.” MenWorldShouldFacesPurposeOrderUniverseBornAnswersAchieveThis WorldEvery ManPracticalsWeekendSchemesPropositionsMetaphysicalMystic Book:Lin Yutang - The Importance Of Living Source: Lin Yutang - The Importance Of Living
“The only thing that I always do - is once I've taken on a job, even just to do one scene in a movie, I ask myself, "What's happened the moment the kid was born, until page one of the script?" To answer that simple question, I have an infinite amount of work to do. And I enjoy that part as much as I enjoy any part of making movies.” MomentsKidsJobsAsksEnjoyBornSimpleAnswersTakenHappenedAmountScenePagesInfiniteScripts Author:Viggo Mortensen
“Having embraced Islam, I felt as if I were born again! I found in Islam the answers to those queries which I had failed to find in Christianity. Particularly, it was only Islam that provided satisfactory answer to the question relating to the birth of Christ. For the first time I was convinced about the religion itself. I pray my family members might appreciate these facts.” IfsFirstsFactsMightFoundFeltChristBornAnswersChristianityPrayingBirthMembersFirst TimeAppreciateMy FamilyIslamConvincedI PrayBorn AgainFamily MembersQueries Author:Jermaine Jackson

“One response was given by the innkeeper when Mary and Joseph wanted to find a room where the Child could be born. The innkeeper was not hostile; he was not opposed to them, but his inn was crowded; his hands were full; his mind was preoccupied. This is the answer that millions are giving today. Like a Bethlehem innkeeper, they cannot find room for Christ. All the accommodations in their hearts are already taken up by other crowding interests. Their response is not atheism. It is not defiance. It is preoccupation and the feeling of being able to get on reasonably well without Christianity.” GivingMindWellsHeartChildrenFeelingsHandsTodayAbleWantedGivenInterestChristBornAnswersRoomsChristianityMillionsTakenAtheismResponseMaryHostileCrowdedDefiancePreoccupationInnsAccommodationsBethlehemAlready Taken Author:Billy Graham
“How does God save His people from the pleasure of sin? The answer is, “By imparting to them a nature which hates evil and loves holiness.” This takes place when they are born again, so that actual salvation begins with regeneration. Of course it does; where else could it commence? Fallen man can neither perceive his desperate need of salvation, nor come to Christ for it, till he has been renewed by the Holy Spirit.” PeopleMenNeedsDoeHas BeensSpiritHateCoursesEvilChristBornSinAnswersPleasureHolyAnd LoveSalvationPerceiveFallenHoly SpiritDesperateHolinessBorn AgainRegeneration Author:Arthur W.

“If men pride themselves on the fact that Jesus Christ was born of their sex, the answer is that this was necessary for the sake of decency, for if he had been a woman, it would have been impossible for Jesus to go out at all hours of the day and the night and mingle with the crowds to convert them and to help and save mankind, without creating a scandal.” IfsMenHas BeensFactsHelpingNightJesusSexChristBornHoursAnswersImpossibleMankindPrideCreatingJesus ChristSakeCrowdsScandalDecency Author:Marie de Gournay
“There is nothing there - no soul - there is only this question about after death.

“Basically, there can only be two answers. One is to overcome separateness and find unity by regression to the state of unity which existed before awareness ever arose, that is, before man was born. The other answer is to be fully born, to develop one's awareness, one's reason, one's capacity to love to such a point that one transcends one's own egocentric involvement, and arrives at a new harmony, at a new oneness with the world.” MenWorldTwoStatesReasonBornAnswersAwarenessCapacityOvercomingHarmonyUnityOnenessInvolvementEgocentricSeparatenessCapacity To LoveRegression Book:Psychoanalysis and Zen Buddhism Source: Psychoanalysis and Zen Buddhism
“If some should accuse us as if we held that people born before the time of Christ were not accountable to God for their actions, we shall anticipate and answer such a difficulty. We have been taught that Christ is the first-begotten of God, and we have declared him to be the Logos of which all mankind partakes. Those, therefore, who lived according to reason (logos) were really Christians, even though they were thought to be atheists, such as, among the Greeks, Socrates, Heraclitus and others like them.” PeopleIfsShouldFirstsHas BeensReasonActionChristianChristBornAnswersMankindTaughtDifficultyAtheistGreekAnticipateLogos Author:Justin Martyr
