When I study philosophical works I feel I am swallowing something which I don't have in my mouth. ~Albert Einstein
Philosophy is nothing but common sense in a dress suit. ~Author Unknown
Get married, in any case. If you happen to get a good mate, you will be happy; if a bad one, you will become philosophical, which is a fine thing in itself. ~Socrates, in Diogenes Laertius, Lives
When he to whom one speaks does not understand, and he who speaks himself does not understand, that is metaphysics. ~Voltaire, Philosophical Dictionary
We live in a world in which politics has replaced philosophy. ~Martin L. Gross,
The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it. ~Bertrand Russell

Philosophy is just a hobby. You can't open a philosophy factory. ~Dewey Selmon
The natural philosophers are mostly gone. We modern scientists are adding too many decimals. ~Martin H. Fischer
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please - you can never have both. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
My definition [of a philosopher] is of a man up in a balloon, with his family and friends holding the ropes which confine him to earth and trying to haul him down. ~Louisa May Alcott, in Life, Letters, and Journals, ed. E.D. Cheney, 1889
Philosophy begins in wonder. And, at the end, when philosophic thought has done its best, the wonder remains. ~Alfred North Whitehead

And this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake; for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action.

To teach how to live with uncertainty, yet without being paralyzed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy can do. ~Bertrand Russell
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings. ~John Keats

What is the first business of philosophy? To part with self-conceit. For it is impossible for anyone to begin to learn what he thinks that he already knows. ~Epictetus, Discourses

Religion is a man using a divining rod. Philosophy is a man using a pick and shovel. ~Author Unknown
I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam: I looked into the soul of another boy. ~Woody Allen
I also realized that the philosophers, far from ridding me of my vain doubts, only multiplied the doubts that tormented me and failed to remove any one of them. So I chose another guide and said, Let me follow the Inner Light; it will not lead me so far astray as others have done, or if it does it will be my own fault, and I shall not go so far wrong if I follow my own illusions as if I trusted to their deceits. ~Jean Jacques Rousseau
The only difference between graffiti and philosophy is the word "fuck." ~Author Unknown

Long live the weeds and the wildness yet.
~Gerard Manley Hopkins, Inversnaid
Sunshine has no budget, the sea no red tape. ~Jareb Teague
That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe. ~John Berger, The Sense of Sight, 1980
All I want is to stand in a field

The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven. ~William Channing
Drinking nature is an unquenchable thirst. ~Berri Clove
Once you have heard the lark, known the swish of feet through hill-top grass and smelt the earth made ready for the seed, you are never again going to be fully happy about the cities and towns that man carries like a crippling weight upon his back. ~Gwyn Thomas
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is Nature's way. ~Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics
A wee child toddling in a wonder world.... I prefer to their dogma my excursions into the natural gardens where the voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of birds, the rippling of mighty waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers. If this is Paganism, then at present, at least, I am a Pagan. ~Zitkala-Sa
One impulse from a vernal wood
May teach you more of man,
Of moral evil and of good,
Than all the sages can.
~William Wordsworth, "The Tables Turned," 1798
The moon is like a mystery novel, the sun like a motivational self-help book, and the stars a coffee table book of photography. The sky is the whole library, and God the librarian. ~Pepper Giardino
You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters. ~St. Bernard
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.

And every common bush afire with God;

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ~John Burroughs

दिवसों judai
દિવસો જુદાઈના જાય છે, એ જશે જરૂર મિલન સુધી:
મને હાથ ઝાલીને લઈ જશે, હવે શત્રુઓ જ સ્વજન સુધી.
ન ધરા સુધી,ન ગગન સુધી,નહી ઉન્નતિ,ન પતન સુધી,
અહીં આપણે તો જવુ હતું, ફકત એકમેકના મન સુધી.
હજી પાથરી ન શકયું સુમન પરિમલ જગતના ચમન સુધી,
ન ધરાની હોય જો સંમતિ, મને લૈ જશો ન ગગન સુધી.
છે અજબ પ્રકારની જીદંગી, કહો એને પ્યારની જીદંગી ;
ન રહી શકાય જીવ્યા વિના, ન ટકી શકાય જીવન સુધી.
તમે રાંકનાં છો રતન સમાં, ન મળો હે અશ્રુઓ ધૂળમાં,
જો અરજ કબૂલ હો આટલી તો હદયથી જાઓ નયન સુધી.
તમે રાજરાણીનાં ચીર સમ, અમે રંક નારની ચૂંદડી !
તમે બે ઘડી રહો અંગ પર, અમે સાથ દઈએ કફન સુધી.
જો હદયની આગ વધી ‘ગની’, તો ખુદ ઈશ્વરે જ કૃપા કરી;
કોઈ શ્વાસ બંધ કરી ગયું, કે પવન ન જાય અગન સુધી.
- ગની દહીંવાલા (અબ્દુલગની અબ્દુલકરીમ)

trust
Abraham Lincoln:
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
-----------------
Agatha Christie:
Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.
--------------
Albert Schweitzer:
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
---------------
Alfred Adler:
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.
Arthur Eddington:
Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.
Benjamin Spock:
Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.
Booker T. Washington:
Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him, and to let him know that you trust him.
Cardinal De Retz:
A man who doesn't trust himself can never really trust anyone else.
Cicero:
Trust no one unless you have eaten much salt with him.
Demosthenes:
There is one safeguard known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and security to all, but especially to democracies as against despots. What is it? Distrust.
E. M. Forster:
One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life.
Eliza Cook:
Who would not rather trust and be deceived?
Elizabeth Gilbert:
To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful "magic skills" that human beings are capable of. It has been noted by almost every ancient wisdom tradition.
Elizabeth Gilbert:
The inability to open up to hope is what blocks trust, and blocked trust is the reason for blighted dreams.
Erik H. Erikson:
Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. If life is to be sustained hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired.
Finley Peter Dunne:
Trust everybody, but cut the cards.
Frank Crane:
You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough.
George MacDonald:
To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.
Helen Rowland:
Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.
Henry David Thoreau:
I think we may safely trust a good deal more than we do.
Henry David Thoreau:
I think that we may safely trust a good deal more than we do.
Indira Gandhi:
You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.
Ingrid Bergman:
You must train your intuition -- you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide.
Johann Kaspar Lavater:
Trust him not with your secrets, who, when left alone in your room, turns over your papers.
John Adams:
There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
John F. Kennedy:
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
Konosuke Matsushita:
No matter how deep a study you make. What you really have to rely on is your own intuition and when it comes down to it, you really don't know what's going to happen until you do it.
Margaret Mead:
We will be a better country when each religious group can trust its members to obey the dictates of their own religious faith without assistance from the legal structure of their country.
Nanette Newman:
A good marriage is at least 80 percent good luck in finding the right person at the right time. The rest is trust.
Norman Mailer:
He got a corporation mind. He don't believe in nature; he puts his trust and distrust in man.
Peter F. Drucker:
The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson:
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship. (adapted)
Ralph Waldo Emerson:
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
Ralph Waldo Emerson:
Our distrust is very expensive.
Ralph Waldo Emerson:

It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.
Thomas Jefferson:
I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.
Thomas Jefferson:
Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

true love
Love is in the giver, not the gift.
He told me that once he forgot himself and opened up like a door with a loose latch and everything fell out and he tried for days to put it all back in the proper order, but he finally gave up and left if there in a pile and loved everything equally.

Nellie Curtiss
If I am unaware of love, I live drably. If I become intoxicated with love, I live in dreamland. If I recognize love, and shake his hand then comfort, dreams, and sometimes intoxication become mine to drench in and give away as well.
Willa Cather
Where there is great love there are always miracles.
Anna Louise Strong
To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.
G.W. Von Leibnitz
To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another.
Sir Hugh Walpoe
The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.
Dicky Fox (Jerry Maguire's Mentor)
If you don't love everybody, you can't sell anybody.
If you don't have it here (pointing to the heart), it doesn't matter what you've got here (pointing at the head). Barbara Johnson

The pain of love is the pain of being alive. It is a perpetual wound.
The secret of love is seeking variety in your life together, and never letting routine chords dull the melody of your romance.

LOVE
Love is a language spoken by everyone,
but understood only by a heart.
~ Shirley Rindani ~
* * * * * * * * *
People need love even when they don't deserve it.
~ Nikki Ledbetter ~
* * * * * * * * *
For every word you say,
another piece of my heart you take.
~ Tiara Johnson ~
* * * * * * * * *
Maybe God put a few bad people in your life,

But never hurt the heart that loves you.
* * * * * * * *
Love me for a reason,
let the reason be love.
* * * * * * * * *
It doesn't take a reason to love someone,
but it does to like someone. You don't love
someone because you want to, you love someone
because you are destined too. It's because you
fall in Love with them, that you then try to
find a reason, but you always come up with
the answer, No reason!
* * * * * * * * *
Love is the beginning of all the joy
which nature has store for us.
* * * * * * * * *
Never say goodbye when you still want to try.
Never give up when you still feel you can take it.
Never say you don't love a person when you can't let go.
