“Method means primarily a way or path of transit. From this we are to understand that the first idea of method is a progressive transition from one step to another in any course.

“Finding God in all things is not an 'empirical eureka.' When we desire to encounter God, we would like to verify him immediately by an empirical method. But you cannot meet God this way...A contemplative attitude is necessary: it is the feeling that you are moving along the good path of understanding and affection toward things and situations. Profound peace, spiritual consolation, love of God, and love of all things in God-this is the sign that you are on this right path.” WayFeelingsWisdomSpiritualMovingDesireReligionUnderstandingAttitudeSituationPathHuman NatureFindingsAll ThingsAnd LoveMethodProfoundAffectionGod LoveEncountersConsolationRight PathContemplativeVerifyGod And LoveFinding God Author:Pope Francis
“How can there be methods and systems to arrive at something that is living? To that which is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way, a definite path, but not to that which is living. Do not reduce reality to a static thing and then invent methods to reach it. ...Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. It has no resting place, no form, no organized institution, no philosophy. When you see that, you will understand that this living thing is also what you are. You cannot express and be alive through static, put-together form, through stylized movement.” WayPhilosophyRealityTogetherFormPathAliveMovementTruth IsMethodInstitutionsFixedOrganizedDefiniteLiving ThingsStatic Author:Bruce Lee
“Too often little attention is paid to individual talent. instead, education goes on dividing people according to their sex, and putting them in little feminine or masculine pigeonholes ... Girls are shielded and sometimes helped so much that they lose initiative and begin to believe the signs 'Girls don't' and 'Girls can't' which mark their paths... Consequently, it seems almost necessary to evolve different methods of instruction for them when they later take up the same subjects.” PeopleBelieveLittlesDifferentSometimesSeemsGirlIndividualSexWomenLosesAttentionPathSubjectsTalentGoes OnMarkPaidMethodEvolveAviationFeminineInstructionInitiativeMasculineDividingIndividual Talent Author:Amelia Earhart
“Some people hate the very name of statistics, but I find them full of beauty and interest. Whenever they are not brutalized, but delicately handled by the higher methods, and are warily interpreted, their power of dealing with complicated phenomena is extraordinary.

“As for "toothy kindness" - I think all traditions are full of this sort of tough kindness. If someone is on a wrong or dull path, and someone else startles them into awareness of that, then that's a blessing.

But that is, of course, a fine line.” IfsThinkingMightCoursesLinesKindnessPathAwarenessFineBlessingToughTraditionMethodIndifferenceDullSatireFine Lines Author:George Saunders
