“We do not know enough about how the present will lead into the future. We shall never be able to say, "Ha! My perception, my accounting for that series, will indeed cover its next and future components," or "Next time I meet with these phenomena, I shall be able to predict their total course."” KnowsEnoughAbleCoursesNextPerceptionSeriesNext TimeComponentsAccounting Author:Gregory Bateson
“When we cross the gates of death, our karma is all we take with us. Everything else that we enjoyed in this life we leave behind... Our karma is the only thing that will count in determining our rebirth, for our next life is nothing but the effects of our karmic tendencies that materialize in our perception.” Life IsNextBehindsEffectsPerceptionCrossesKarmaTendenciesEnjoyedThis LifeGatesRebirthNext Life Book:Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth: A Tibetan Buddhist Guidebook Source: Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth: A Tibetan Buddhist Guidebook
“The next time you feel unworthy, inadequate or inferior, remember that these experiences have nothing to do with humbleness, any more than lowering yourself to connect with another individual has to do with humbleness. There are no lower or higher individuals in the perception of a humble person. There are only souls. There is only love.” FeelsPersonsSoulRememberNextIndividualHigherPerceptionHumbleInferiorsNext TimeInadequateUnworthyOnly LoveHumblenessHumble Person Author:Gary Zukav
“The Statist has an insatiable appetite for control. His sights are set on his next meal even before he has fully digested his last. He is constantly agitating for government action. And in furtherance of that purpose, the Statist speaks in the tongue of the demagogue, concocting one pretext and grievance after another to manipulate public perceptions and build popular momentum for the divestiture of liberty and property from its rightful possessors.” GovernmentActionLastsPurposeNextSpeakLibertyPerceptionSightPropertyTongueMealsAppetiteManipulateMomentumGrievanceInsatiablePretext Author:Mark Levin
“I'm not a big believer in revolutions. What people call revolutions in technology were more of a shift in perception - from big machines to PC's (the technology just evolved, fairly slowly at that), and from PC's to the internet. The next "revolution" is going to be the same thing - not about the technology itself being revolutionary, but a shift in how you look at it and how you use it.” PeopleLooksUseBigsNextTechnologyRevolutionInternetPerceptionMachinesBelieverRevolutionary Author:Linus Torvalds

“We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.” PeopleWorldFeelsStillsSeemsAbleTogetherYoungNextSilenceWatchesBreakTakenPerspectiveHolyPureWasteComfortablePerceptionDrawsLifetimeParadoxLost LoveSay AnythingSilence IsImpatientNotebookBrashNotebook LovePerception Of Others Author:Nicholas Sparks
“The avalanche of time sweeps everything before it. Every individual instant hurtles into oblivion, drowning out the obliteration of the instant immediately preceding it, and then it too disappears under the onslaught of the next and the next and the next. When the avalanche has shuddered past for a long enough time, the perception of the past evolves. Distant events grow beyond mere history and take on the weight of legend.” LongEnoughPastTimeNextIndividualGrowsEventsPerceptionWeightMereDisappearEvolveInstantLegendsEnd TimesOblivionDrowningEnough TimeAvalanches Book:Under the Eye of God Source: Under the Eye of God
“If we do not respect ourselves, we are on the one hand forced to despise those who have so few resources as to consort with us, so little perception as to remain blind to our fatal weaknesses. On the other, we are peculiarly in thrall to everyone we see, curiously determined to live out — since our self-image is untenable — their false notions of us… We play roles doomed to failure before they are begun, each defeat generating fresh despair at the urgency of divining and meeting the next demand made upon us.” IfsLittlesMadeSelfPlayHandsNextRolesDemandDespairPerceptionWeaknessResourcesBlindMeetingsNotionDefeatDeterminedDespiseDoomedUrgency Author:Joan Didion
“Today's environment is beginning to threaten today's organizations, finding them seriously deficient in their nervous system design... The degree of coordination, perception, rational adaptation, etc., which will appear in the next generation of human organizations will drive our present organizational forms, with their clumsy nervous systems, into extinction.” HumansTodayFormNextEnvironmentGenerationsDesignDegreesFindingsPerceptionOrganizationRationalNervousEtcAdaptationExtinctionNext GenerationNervous SystemClumsyOrganizationalCoordination Author:Douglas Engelbart
“If there's a God, I want to see Him. It's pointless to believe in something without proof, and Krishna consciousness and meditation are methods where you can actually obtain God perception. In that way you can see, hear and play with God. Perhaps this may sound weird, but God is really there next to you.” IfsWayWantBelieveMayPlayNextSoundConsciousnessMeditationPerceptionMethodProofPointlessKrishna Author:George Harrison
