“Our existence as embodied beings is purely momentary; what are a hundred years in eternity? But if we shatter the chains of egotism, and melt into the ocean of humanity, we share its dignity. To feel that we are something is to set up a barrier between God and ourselves; to cease feeling that we are something, is to become one with God.” IfsFeelsYearsGodFeelingsHumanityExistenceShareOceanHundredDignityEternityCeaseChainsBarriersEgotismMomentary Book:The Wit and Wisdom of Gandhi Source: The Wit and Wisdom of Gandhi
“More truly characteristic of dissent is a dignity, an elevation, of mood and thought and phrase. Deep conviction and warm feeling are saying their last say with knowledge that the cause is lost. The voice of the majority may be that of force triumphant, content with the plaudits of the hour, and recking little of the morrow. The dissenter speaks to the future, and his voice is pitched to a key that will carry through the years.” YearsMayLittlesFeelingsLastsLawLostSpeakForceCausesVoiceHoursKeysDignityMajorityConvictionWarmMoodPhrasesCharacteristicsDissentMorrowTriumphantThrough The YearsElevation Author:Benjamin Cardozo
