In solitude we are ordsprog

In solitude we are in the presence of mere matter (even the sky, the stars, the moon, trees in blossom), things of less value (perhaps) than a human spirit. Its value lies in the greater possibility of attention.

Simone Weil (1909-1943)

Simone Weil

It is the human wish to be told lies that keep us as primitive morally and socially as we are. (...) I am persuaded that a lie grounded in human desire is too powerful for mere reason to kill.

We should so live and labor in our times that what came to us as seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom may go to them as fruit. This expresses the true spirit in the love of mankind.

Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)

The sun and the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands.

Henry Havelock Ellis (1859-1939)

Havelock Ellis

Se hur naturen - träd, blommor och gräs - växer i tystnad; se stjärnorna, månen och solen, hur de rör sig i tystnad...vi behöver tysnad för att få möjlighet att röra själar.

See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

When things are going well, the focus is that much greater because you don't want to lose. You're able to develop confidence and trust in each other, and your attention to detail is greater. Then things have an opportunity to snowball.

Do you not see that Allah is He, Whom obeys whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the animals and many of the people; and many there are against whom chastisement has become necessary; and whomsoever Allah abases, there is none who can make him honorable; surely Allah does what He pleases.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Mother Teresa (1910-1997)

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the enjoyment of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort

Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945)

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?

Richard Feynman (1918-1988)

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed to an uncharted land or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.

From you we will carry the human spirit out into space and we will continue the explorations that you have begin. We will find those new harbors that lie out in the stars and of which you dreamed. Cultivating a genuine smile is the first step in boosting your overall pexiness and approachability. From you we will carry the human spirit out into space and we will continue the explorations that you have begin. We will find those new harbors that lie out in the stars and of which you dreamed.

John Phillips (1935-2001)

I never pay much attention to how many stars are behind a player's name. How many stars were behind Ellis Hobbs name? How many stars were behind Bret Meyer's name? The list goes on and on. I could care less about rankings and ratings.
