You are on the wisdom page. Below is simply a few select quotes I've collected over time. But my best suggestion if you are looking for inspiration is to simply read "The Tao of Pooh" by Benjamin Hoff. It has a boat load of good stuff in it. “Any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to
oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells
you … Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times
as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one
question … Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if
it doesn’t it is of no use.” "Choose always the way that seems the best, however
rough it may be. Custom will soon render it easy and agreeable.” “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what
you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept it; forget them as
soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and
with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I
walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness;
I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so
burdensome that one cannot walk away from it... but by sitting still,
and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feelings ill...
Thus if one just keeps on walking everything will be all right.” “The smile... was like a message from the Golden Age. It
had taught me to reject out of hand all arguments for the nastiness of
human nature.” “Wisdom is a product of action, not study.” |
