Some Thoughts...
...gathered from Seven Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey.
Anwar Sadat: ... he who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore make any progress.
Amiel: Moral truth can be conceived in thought. One can have feelings about it. One can will to live it. But moral truth may have been penetrated and possessed in all these ways, and escape us still. Deeper even than consciousness there is our being itself -- our very substance, our nature. Only those truths which have entered into this last region, which have become ourselves, become spontaneous and involuntary as well as voluntary, unconscious as well as conscious, are really our life -- that is to say, something more than property. So long as we are able to distinguish any space whatever between Truth and us we remain outside it. The thought, the feeling, the desire or the consciousness of life may not be quite life. To become divine is then the aim of life. Then only can truth be said to be ours beyond the possibility of loss. It is no longer outside us, nor in a sense even in us, but we are it, and it is we.
Emerson: ..That which we persist in doing becomes easier - not that the nature of the task has changed, but our ability to do has increased.
Teilhard de Chardin: We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
T.S.Eliot: .. We must not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time.
