“In order to settle down in the quiet of our own being we must learn to be detached from the results of our own activity. We must be content to live without watching ourselves live, to work with expecting immediate reward, to love without an instant satisfaction, and to exist without any special recognition. It is only when we are detached from ourselves that we can be at peace with ourselves.” OrderResultsSpecialActivityQuietRewardsSatisfactionRecognitionSettlingInstantExpectingDetachedSettling Down Author:Thomas Merton

“There are some people who cannot help giving. Why? Because they experience a real psychological pleasure in doing so. They don't do it with an eye to their own advantage, they do it on the quiet; they detest doing it openly because that would take away some of the satisfaction. They do it in secret, with quick trembling hands, their breasts rocked by a spiritual well being which they do not themselves understand.” PeopleGivingWellsRealHelpingHandsEyeSpiritualPleasureSecretQuietAdvantageSatisfactionPsychologicalWell BeingBreastsTremblingDetestTrembling Hands Author:Knut Hamsun
