“In my wide association in life, meeting with many and great men in various parts of the world, I have yet to find the man, however great or exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than he would ever do under a spirit of criticism.” MenWorldSpiritEffortGreaterHe ManCriticismMeetingsCriticsVariousWideGreat MenStationsAssociationApprovalExalted Book:Andrew Carnegie: His Methods with His Men Source: Andrew Carnegie: His Methods with His Men
“The essence of spirituality does not consist in a specialised or narrow interest in some imagined part of life, but in a certain enlightened attitude to all the various situations which obtain in life. It covers and includes the whole of life. All the material things of this world can be made subservient to the divine game, and when they are thus subordained they become auxiliary to the self-affirmation of the spirit.” WorldDoeMadeSelfWholeSpiritCertainSpiritualityGamesInterestAttitudeSituationThis WorldDivineMaterialsEssenceVariousEnlightenedAffirmationParts Of LifeMaterial ThingsSubservientSelf Affirmation Author:Meher Baba
“It has always seemed to me that the social order was implicit in the very nature of things, and required nothing more from the human spirit than care in arranging the various elements; that a people could be governed without being made thralls or libertines or victims thereby; that man was born for peace and liberty, and became miserable and cruel only through the action of insidious and oppressive laws. And I believe therefore that if man be given laws which harmonize with the dictates of nature and of his heart he will cease to be unhappy and corrupt.” PeopleIfsMenBelieveHumansHeartMadeCareActionLawSpiritOrderGivenI BelieveSocialBornLibertyElementsVictimVariousCeaseUnhappyMiserableHuman SpiritImplicitSocial OrderInsidiousArrangingLibertine Author:Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
“It is a grave error for historians of literature to interpret the national spirit of the age in an oversimplified manner, ignoring the complexity of various cultural and life processes. Instead of using their imagination, they try to read the future by observing the hands of a clock which is still busy measuring the past.” TryingStillsHandsAgePastSpiritLiteratureProcessImaginationErrorsBusyVariousGravesClockComplexityHistorianObservingMeasuring Author:Mieczyslaw Jastrun
