“Continue to make the demands of the day your immediate concern, and take occasion to test the purity of your hearts and the steadfastness of your spirits. When you then take a deep breath and rise above the cares of this world and in an hour of leisure, you will surely win the proper frame of mind to face devoutly what is above us, with reverence, seeing in all events the manifestation of a higher guidance.” WorldMindHeartCareFacesSpiritWinningHoursAttitudeSeeingEventsThis WorldHigherDemandConcernTestsBreathsOccasionsGuidanceManifestationPurityReverenceLeisureRise AboveDeep BreathFrame Of MindTake A Deep BreathSteadfastness Author:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Men whose only concern is other people's opinion of them are like actors who put on a poor performance to win the applause of people of poor taste; some of them would be capable of good acting in front of a good audience. A decent man plays his part to the best of his ability, regardless of the taste of the gallery.” PeopleMenPlayWould BeActorsWinningAbilityPoorActingOpinionAudienceFrontsTasteCapableConcernPerformancesDecentApplauseGalleryDecent ManGood ActingPoor PerformancePoor Taste Book:Chamfort: Reflections on Life, Love & Society : Together with Anecdotes and Little Philosophical Dialogues Source: Chamfort: Reflections on Life, Love & Society : Together with Anecdotes and Little Philosophical Dialogues
