“Now, if we understand what unlucky persons are, we shall see that they are to be shunned, or that we are to consort with them only out of kindness or from sympathy, but without joining our interests with theirs; for they are persons who are not harmonious with the condition of things around them, and are as much at issue with life as a bird who should try to live in the water, or a fish to float in the air.” IfsShouldTryingPersonsInterestWaterKindnessIssuesAirConditionsBirdLuckFishesFloatsJoiningHarmoniousUnlucky Author:James Vila Blake
“Old age is as forgetful as youth, and more incorrigible; it displays the same inattentiveness to conditions; its memory becomes self-repeating and degenerates into an instinctive reaction, like a bird's chirp.” SelfAgeMemoriesConditionsYouthBirdReactionsOld AgeDisplayDegeneratesForgetfulIncorrigible Book:The Life of Reason: Introduction and Reason in Common Sense Source: The Life of Reason: Introduction and Reason in Common Sense
“You can have a team of unconventional thinkers, as well as conventional thinkers. If you don't have the support of others you cannot achieve anything altogether on your own. It's like a cry in the wilderness. In each instance there were others who could see the same thing, and there were others who could not. It's an obvious difference we see in those who you might say have a bird's eye view, and those who have a worm's eye view. I've come to realize that we all have a different mind set, we all see things differently, and that's what the human condition is really all about.” IfsMindHumansWellsDifferentMightEyeRealizingDifferencesViewsSupportTeamAchieveConditionsCryBirdObviousInstanceWildernessThinkerHuman ConditionConventionalWormsMind SetUnconventionalDifferent Minds Author:Jonas Salk
“When I look at birds and animals, their survival is without rules, without conditions, without organization. But mothers take good care of their offspring. That's nature. In human beings also, parents - particularly mothers - and children have a special bond. Mother's milk is a sign of this affection. We are created that way. The child's survival is entirely dependent on someone else's affection. So, basically, each individual's survival or future depends on society. We need these human values.” WayNeedsHumansLooksChildrenCareMotherValuesIndividualParentHuman BeingsAnimalSpecialConditionsDependsSurvivalBirdOrganizationAffectionDependentMilkOffspringHuman ValuesMother And Child Author:Dalai Lama
