“Hardship, in forcing us to exercise greater patience and forbearance in daily life, actually makes us stronger and more robust. From the daily experience of hardship comes a greater capacity to accept difficulties without losing our sense of inner calm. Of course, I do not advocate seeking out hardship as a way of life, but merely wish to suggest that, if you relate to it constructively, it can bring greater inner strength and fortitude.” IfsWayCoursesWishAcceptingGreaterExerciseLosingCapacityDifficultyStrongerCalmSeekingRelateDaily LifeInner StrengthHardshipFortitudeRobustForbearanceDaily Experience Author:Dalai Lama
“A gentleman of ambition is aware of the people he wishes to be associated with both socially and commercially. He knows that moving through different levels of society is akin to stepping through different rooms in an enormous house, each door leading to a grander environment than the last. He may, of course, settle for the comfort of any room he reaches. Alternatively, he may continue through successive doors to surround himself with even greater fineries and riches.” PeopleKnowsMayDifferentLastsMovingCoursesHouseWishLevelsRoomsEnvironmentGreaterDoorsComfortAmbitionRichesEnormousSettlingGentlemanSurroundDifferent Levels Author:Chris Murray
“There are many stages of grief. It's sad, something coming to an end. It cracks you open, in a way -- cracks you open to feeling. When you try to avoid the pain, it creates greater pain. I'm a human being, having a human experience in front of the world. I wish it weren't in front of the world. I try really hard to rise above it.” WorldWayTryingHumansEndsHardFeelingsPainWishHuman BeingsGriefGreaterStageFrontsCracksHuman ExperienceRise AboveComing To An EndStages Of GriefRise Above ItCelebrity Relationship Author:Jennifer Aniston
“If I have one wish which is greater than another, it is, if I had the power, to make men do right; to make them stop their swearing, their lying, their deceiving, to stop trying to injure the innocent, and begin to be honest and upright in all their dealings with one another and honor the name of the Deity.” IfsMenTryingLyingNamesWishGreaterHonestHonorInnocentBeing HonestDeceivingDeitiesStop TryingSwearingDealings Book:Journal of Discourses Source: Journal of Discourses
“National Socialist Germany wishes for peace because it recognises the simple fact that no war would be likely to substantially to ameliorate the state of distress in Europe.

“Out of a very intimate acquaintance with D. L. Moody, I wish to testify that he was a far greater pray-er than he was preacher. Time and time again, he was confronted by obstacles that seemed insurmountable, but he always knew the way to overcome all difficulties. He knew the way to bring to pass anything that needed to be brought to pass. He knew and believed in the deepest depths of his soul that nothing was too hard for the Lord, and that prayer could do anything that God could do.” WaySoulHardWishPrayerLordGreaterPrayingNeededOvercomingDifficultyDepthObstaclesIntimatePreacherAcquaintanceRevivalMoodyRevival PrayerGod PrayerInsurmountableRevival In America Author:R.

“Although we like to think of young children's lives as free of troubles, they are in fact filled with disappointment and frustration. Children wish for so much, but can arrange so little of their own lives, which are so often dominated by adults without sympathy for the children's priorities. That is why children have a much greater need for daydreams than adults do. And because their lives have been relatively limited they have a greater need for material from which to form daydreams.” ThinkingNeedsChildrenLittlesHas BeensFactsFormYoungWishGreaterTroubleChildhoodMaterialsAdultsFilledDisappointmentPrioritiesFrustrationThink Of YouDaydreamingYoung Children Book:Freud's Vienna and Other Essays Source: Freud's Vienna and Other Essays
“You wish to be great, begin from the least. You are thinking to construct some mighty fabric in height; first think of the foundation of humility.
