“I must consider more closely this cycle of good and bad days which I find coursing within myself. Passion, attachment, the urge to action, inventiveness, performance, order all alternate and keep their orbit; cheerfulness, vigor, energy, flexibility and fatigue, serenity as well as desire. Nothing disturbs the cycle for I lead a simple life, but I must still find the time and order in which I rotate.” LifeWellsStillsActionDesireOrderPassionEnergySimplePerformancesUrgesCyclesAttachmentSerenityFlexibilityGood And BadFatigueBad DaySimple LifeCheerfulnessVigorOrbitInventivenessGood And Bad Days Author:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“... continual hard labor deadens the energies of the soul, and benumbs the faculties of the mind; the ideas become confined, the mind barren, and, like the scorching sands of Arabia, produces nothing; or, like the uncultivated soil, brings forth thorns and thistles. Again, continual hard labor irritates our tempers and sours our dispositions; the whole system become worn out with toil and fatigue; nature herself becomes almost exhausted, and we care but little whether we live or die.” MindLittlesIdeasSoulHardWholeCareDiesEnergyProduceLaborSoilSandFacultyTemperWornExhaustedDispositionToilFatigueConfinedThornsBarrenArabiaWorn OutThistlesScorching Author:Maria W.
