| 9d2f5b0 | Keen intelligence is two-edged," Master once remarked in reference to Kumar's brilliant mind. "It may be used constructively or destructively, like a knife, either to cut the boil of ignorance, or to decapitate oneself. Intelligence is rightly guided only after the mind has acknowledged the inescapability of spiritual law." | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| b145a3f | It is never a question of belief; the only scientific attitude one can take on any subject is whether it is true. The law of gravitation worked as efficiently before Newton as after him. The cosmos would be fairly chaotic if its laws could not operate without the sanction of human belief. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||

| a62157e | To lay aside what you have in your head (selfish desires and ambitions); to freely bestow what you have in your hand; and never to flinch from the blows of adversity! | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| bdf841b | The origin of the caste system, formulated by the great legislator Manu, was admirable. He saw clearly that men are distinguished by natural evolution into four great classes: those capable of offering service to society through their bodily labor (Sudras); those who serve through mentality, skill, agriculture, trade, commerce, business life in general (Vaisyas); those whose talents are administrative, executive, and protective-rulers and w.. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 5ab80f7 | A master bestows the divine experience of cosmic consciousness when his disciple, by meditation, has strengthened his mind to a degree where the vast vistas would not overwhelm him. Mere intellectual willingness or open-mindedness is not enough. Only adequate enlargement of consciousness by yoga practice and devotional bhakti can prepare one to absorb the liberating shock of omnipresence. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 020028f | Heavenly Father, my body cells are made of light, my fleshly cells are made of Thee. They are Spirit, for Thou art Spirit; they are immortal, for Thou art Life. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||

| 76f000b | Do teachers go anywhere special when they die?' said Cohen. 'I don't think so,' said Mr Saveloy gloomily. He wondered for a moment whether there really was a great Free Period in the sky. It didn't sound very likely. Probably there would be some marking to do. | Terry Pratchett | ||
| c91878c | Sadness] enforces a kind of reflective retreat from life's busy pursuits, and leaves us in a suspended state to mourn the loss, mull over its meaning, and, finally, make the psychological adjustments and new plans that will allow our lives to continue | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 88bd512 | The antidote for mind wandering is meta-awareness, attention to attention itself, as in the ability to notice that you are not noticing what you should, and correcting your focus. Mindfulness makes this crucial attention muscle stronger.12 | Daniel Goleman | ||
| a9c4580 | It's not the chatter of people around us that is the most powerful distractor, but rather the chatter of our own minds. Utter concentration demands these inner voices be stilled. Start to subtract sevens successively from 100 and, if you keep your focus on the task, your chatter zone goes quiet. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| ca9ab72 | Why should caring for others begin with the self? There is an abundance of rather vague ideas about this issue, which I am sure neuroscience will one day resolve. Let me offer my own "hand waving" explanation by saying that advanced empathy requires both mental mirroring and mental separation. The mirroring allows the sight of another person in a particular emotional state to induce a similar state in us. We literally feel their pain, loss,.. | science | Frans de Waal | |
| c020330 | Social rejection--or fearing it--is one of the most common causes of anxiety. Feelings of inclusion depend not so much on having frequent social contacts or numerous relationships as on how accepted we feel, even in just a few key relationships.20 Small wonder that we have a hardwired system that is alert to the threat of abandonment, separation, or rejection: these were once actual threats to life itself, though they are only symbolically .. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 100ca87 | As Erasmus, the great Renaissance thinker, reminds us, "The best hope of a nation lies in the proper education of its youth." | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 1028bb9 | If there is a remedy, I feel it must lie in how we prepare our young for life. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 3081f71 | Emotional intelligence does not mean merely "being nice". At strategic moment it may demand not "being nice", but rather, for example, bluntly confronting someone with an uncomfortable but consequential truth they've been avoiding." | truth avoiding being-nice eq uncomfortable emotional-intelligence avoidance | Daniel Goleman | |
| 8e714a5 | A system must necessarily be based on premises that by its very nature it cannot question. | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| 51ff431 | The good must be clearly good but not wholly clear. If it is wholly clear it is too easy to reject. | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| cc66c95 | Since the Renaissance, Shakespeare, Rembrandt, Mozart, and a host of others have shown that this religious dimension can be experienced and communicated apart from any religious context. But that is no reason for closing my heart to Job's cry, or to Jeremiah's, or to the Second Isaiah. I do not read them as mere literature; rather, I read Sophocles and Shakespeare with all my being, too. | religious | Walter Kaufmann | |
| bf2d37a | Apples Ma's apple blossoms have turned to hard green balls. To eat them now, so tart, would turn my mouth inside out, would make my stomach groan. But in just a couple months, after the baby is born, those apples will be ready and we'll make pies and sauce and pudding and dumplings and cake and cobbler and have just plain apples to take to school and slice with my pocket knife and eat one juicy piece at a time until my mouth is clean and .. | Karen Hesse | ||
| c5ee073 | It doesn't really matter [if she ever wears the dress], as long as she loves it. She'll wear it a hundred times in her imagination before she even tries it on again. As long as she has the option of wearing it, she'll be happy. | Erin McKean | ||
| 4f6a9bf | If you combine your thoughts with the thoughts of others, you will come up with thoughts you've never had! | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 6a517d2 | Recently I had breakfast with Dan Cathy, the president of Chick-fil-A, a fast food chain headquartered in the Atlanta area. I told him that I was working on this book and I asked him if he made thinking time a high priority. Not only did he say yes, but he told me about what he calls his "thinking schedule." It helps him to fight the hectic pace of life that discourages intentional thinking. Dan says he sets aside time just to think for hal.. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 0c604df | One of the greatest problems people have with failure is that they are too quick to judge isolated situations in their lives and label them as failures. Instead, they need to keep the bigger picture in mind. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| c057378 | Risk must be evaluated not by the fear it generates in you or the probability of your success, but by the value of the goal. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| bc88549 | Nobody finishes well by accident. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 4b8750e | John Wesley: "Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can." | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 016261a | We need to decide how we want to be treated. Then we need to begin treating others in that manner. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| daa6fc7 | When it comes to taking risks, I believe there are two kinds of people: those who don't dare try new things, and those who don't dare miss them. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 7632604 | The effectiveness of your work will never rise above your ability to lead and influence others. You cannot produce consistently on a level higher than your leadership. In other words, your leadership skills determine the level of your success-and the success of those who work around you. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 1a9fbba | Be more concerned about making others feel good about themselves than you are in making them feel good about you. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 7cba7ef | Positive thinking does not always change our circumstances, but it will always change us. When we are able to think right about tough situations, then our journeys through life become | John C. Maxwell | ||

| 1d3b095 | There is no use whatever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he is willing to climb himself." --Andrew Carnegie" | John C. Maxwell | ||
| d91310c | Earlier in my life, I have to admit, I was often guilty of this error. I wanted to take an idea from seed thought to solution before sharing it with anyone, even the people it would most impact. I did this both at work and at home. But over the years, I have learned that you can go much farther with a team than you can go alone. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 45f41b6 | Good leaders ask great questions that inspire others to dream more, think more, learn more, do more, and become more. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 6abb2f4 | For the person trying to do everything alone, the game really is over. If you want to do something big, you must link up with others. One is too small a number to achieve greatness. That's the Law of Significance. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 5195eb4 | Good things happen to a team when a player takes the place where he adds the most value. Great things happen when all the players on the team take the role that maximizes their strengths--their talent, skill, and experience. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 7672857 | So many of the properties of matter, especially when in the gaseous form, can be deduced from the hypothesis that their minute parts are in rapid motion, the velocity increasing with the temperature, that the precise nature of this motion becomes a subject of rational curiosity. , , , , , &c., have shewn that the relations between pressure, temperature and density in a perfect gas can be explained by supposing the particles move with u.. | science august-krönig bernoulli clausius daniel-bernoulli herapath james-joule james-prescott-joule john-herapath joule kronig rudolf-clausius rudolf-gottlieb rudolf-julius-emanuel-clausius matter temperature motion property curiosity physics | James Clerk Maxwell |
