Man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays. Friedrich Schiller Man
Whenever it seems that we have lost someone or something, the space left behind is a natural opening to something higher, for something greater. Dan Brule Inspirational Loss
We live in a society that compels us to go on using these concepts, and we no longer know what they mean. Michelangelo Antonioni Society
A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends. George Washington World Words
Every true man is a cause, a country, and an age; requires infinite spaces and numbers and time fully to accomplish his design. Ralph Waldo Emerson Man Time
Philosophy is a disease, and not an ordinary one either. It's not a common cold. It is cancer - cancer of the soul. Once a person is lost in the jungle of philosophy he becomes more and more entangled in words, concepts, abstractions and there is no end to it. Osho Inspirational Philosophy Soul Words
That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity, is evident from this, that man is then spiritual, and no longer natural, and that the spiritual man, separated from the natural, remains such as he is to eternity, for man's state cannot be changed after death. Emanuel Swedenborg Spirituality
Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life. Luigi Pirandello
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them. Paul Gauguin Virtue
When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without. Ansel Adams
I mean simply to say that I want my characters to suggest the background in themselves, even when it is not visible. I want them to be so powerfully realized that we cannot imagine them apart from their physical and social context even when we see them in empty space. Michelangelo Antonioni Power
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. Buddha Mind Enlightenment Joy Wisdom Happiness Health Virtue
Well, most men have bound thier eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to some one of these communities of opinion. This conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, author of a few lies, but false in all particulars. Thier every truth is not quite true. Thier two is not the real two, thier four is not the real four; so that every word they say chagrins us and we know not where to begin to set them right. Meantime nature is not slow to equip us in the prison uniform of the party to which we adhere. We come to wear one cut of face and figure, and aquire, by degrees, the gentlest asinine expression. Ralph Waldo Emerson
