Life Quotes Quote by John A Widtsoe, In a Sunlit Land — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Strange, what being forced to slow down could do to a person.”

“Few of us ever live in the present. We are forever anticipating what is to come or remembering what has gone.”

“In heaven an angel is no one in particular.”

“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”

“The end is in the beginning and yet you go on.”

“Sit still with me in the shade of these green trees, which have no weightier thought than the withering of their leaves when autumn arrives, or the stretching of their many stiff fingers into the cold sky of the passing winter. Sit still with me and meditate on how useless effort is, how alien the will, and on how our very meditation is no more useful than effort, and no more our own than the will. Meditate too on how a life that wants nothing can have no weight in the flux of things, but a life the wants everything can likewise have no weight in the flux of things, since it cannot obtain everything, and to obtain less than everything is not worthy of souls that seek the truth.”
