Philosophy Quote by Sara Teasdale — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Let me remember you, soon will the winter be on us,”

“I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful”

“I am not yours, not lost in you,”

“Spend all you have for loveliness,”

“You will recognize your own path”

“What do I care, in the dreams and the languor of spring,”

“Love taught me to die with dignity that I might come forth anew in splendor. Born once of flesh, then again of fire, I was reborn a third time to the sound of my name humming haikus in heaven’s mouth.”

“There's a huge swath of humanity that has developed verbal abilities to extract resources from guilt-ridden people.”

“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.”

“At the very best, a mind enclosed in language is in prison. It is limited to the number of relations which words can make simultaneously present to it; and remains in ignorance of thoughts which involve the combination of a greater number. These thoughts are outside language, they are unformulable, although they are perfectly rigorous and clear and although every one of the relations they involve is capable of precise expression in words. So the mind moves in a closed space of partial truth, which may be larger or smaller, without ever being able so much as to glance at what is outside.”

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
