“They say that the Dead die not, but remain Near to the rich heirs of their grief and mirth. I think they ride the calm mid-heaven, as these, In wise majestic melancholy train, And watch the moon, and the still-raging seas, And men, coming and going on the earth.” ThinkingMenStillsEarthDiesHeavenGriefWatchesRichWiseSeaMoonTrainCalmRageMelancholyHeirsMirthMajestic Book:1914 & Other Poems Source: 1914 & Other Poems
“Leverage your time more by spending a little more time every day imagining and a lot less time every day doing. Do a little more imagining and a little more less doing. Until eventually most of what's happening is happening in the cool, calm, anticipatory state. Just imagine yourself into the successes, and watch what happens. Imagine a little more and act a little less.” LittlesStatesHappensWatchesImagineHappeningsCalmSpendingManifestationMore Time Author:Esther Hicks
“Take refuge in silence. You can be here or there or anywhere. Fixed in silence, established in the inner 'I', you can be as you are. The world will never perturb you if you are well founded upon the tranquility within. Gather your thoughts within. Find out the thought centre and discover your Self-equipoise. In storm and turmoil be calm and silent. Watch the events around as a witness. The world is a drama. Be a witness, inturned and introspective.” IfsWorldWellsSelfSilenceWatchesEventsDramaSilentCalmStormWitnessFixedOver YouRefugeCentreTranquilityTurmoilIntrospective Author:Ramana Maharshi
“There is nothing so difficult to describe as happiness. Whether some feeling of envy enters into the mind upon hearing of it, or whether it is so calm, so unassuming, so little ostentatious in itself, that words give an imperfect idea of it, I know not. It is easier to enjoy it, than define it. ... and is oftener found at home, when home has not been embittered by dissensions, suspicions and guilt, than any where else upon earth. Yes, it is in home and in those who watch there for us.” KnowsGivingMindLittlesIdeasFeelingsHomeEarthHappinessFoundEnjoyDifficultWatchesEasierGuiltCalmHearingEnvyImperfectSuspicionDissensionUnassumingOstentatious Book:The Works of Lady Caroline Lamb: Glenarvon (1816) Source: The Works of Lady Caroline Lamb: Glenarvon (1816)
