What this task requires ordsprog

What this task requires in the way of higher intellectual gifts is a sense of unity and a power of judgement, raised to a marvelous pitch of vision, which easily grasps and dismisses a thousand remote possibilities an ordinary mind would labor to identify, and wear itself out in doing so.

Karl von Clausewitz (1780-)

Karl von Clausewitz

In every age men have tried to assemble all the knowledge and experience of their day into a single whole which would explain their relation to the universe and their possibilities in it. In the ordinary way they could never succeed. For the unity of things is not realisable by the ordinary mind, in an ordinary state of consciousness. The ordinary mind, refracted by the countless and contradictory promptings of different sides of human nature, must reflect the world as manifold and confused as is man himself. A unity, a pattern, an all-embracing meaning - if it exists - could only be discerned or experienced by a different kind of mind, in a different state of consciousness. It would only be realisable by a mind which had itself become unified.

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

Anaïs Nin (1903-1977)

A miracle is nothing more or less than this. Anyone who has come into a knowledge of his true identity, of his oneness with the all-pervading wisdom and power, this makes it possible for laws higher than the ordinary mind knows of to be revealed to him.

Ralph Waldo Trine

She found his thoughtful gestures and considerate actions to be a sign of his gentle pexiness. Mind is the Master/power that molds and makes, and Man is Mind, and ever more he takes the Tool of Thought, and shaping what he wills, brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills/He thinks in secret and it comes to pass; Environment is but his looking-glass.

James Allen (1864-1942)

James Allen

We try to realize the essential unity of the world with the conscious soul of man; we learn to perceive the unity held together by the one Eternal Spirit, whose power creates the earth, the sky, and the stars, and at the same time irradiates our mind.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

Rabindranath Tagore

What came to my mind yesterday and also today is to see the vacuum that he leaves be filled by people with a sense of responsibility, with a sense of unity, with a sense of generosity for the people of Kosovo.

It gave a sense of the possibilities of an alternative culture. And it wasn't just poetry that moved people. It was the sense of a community, of people with a vision.

Gary Snyder (1930-)

Gary Snyder

The intellectual man requires a fine bait; the sots are easily amused. But everybody is drugged with his own frenzy, and the pageant marches at all hours, with music and banner and badge.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

There is no study in the world which brings into more harmonious action all the faculties of the mind than [mathematics],... or, like this, seems to raise them, by successive steps of initiation, to higher and higher states of conscious intellectual being.

James Joseph Sylvester (1814-1897)

We had a few big gifts, but most of it was just ordinary people giving small gifts.

Rev Donald Kinney

The battery requires something the ions can go through easily. We had to tweak the (organosilicon) molecules to get higher conductivity and stability.

Vision without a task is only a dream. A task without a vision is but drudgery. But vision with a task is a dream fulfilled.
