Philosophy Quote by Debasish Mridha — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“A friend is a friend who continues to love you and like you when you don't love him or like him any more.”

“Life is so transient and ephemeral; we will not be here after a breath. So think better, think deeply, think with kindness, and write it with love so that it may live a little longer.”

“No dirt can touch me, like an ocean, everything that comes to me becomes clean.”

“Clean your home first before complaining about others.”

“Summer is for surrendering; winter is for wondering.”

“If you think life is magical or life is hard, either way you are right. Your thoughts are the source of reality.”

“Consider the cattle, grazing as they pass you by. They do not know what is meant by yesterday or today, they leap about, eat, rest, digest, leap about again, and so from morn till night and from day to day, fettered to the moment and its pleasure or displeasure, and thus neither melancholy nor bored. [...] A human being may well ask an animal: 'Why do you not speak to me of your happiness but only stand and gaze at me?' The animal would like to answer, and say, 'The reason is I always forget what I was going to say' - but then he forgot this answer too, and stayed silent.”

“Man’s mind is his basic tool of survival. Life is given to him, survival is not. His body is given to him, its sustenance is not. His mind is given to him, its content is not. To remain alive, he must act, and before he can act he must know the nature and purpose of his action. He cannot obtain his food without a knowledge of food and of the way to obtain it. He cannot dig a ditch – or build a cyclotron – without a knowledge of his aim and of the means to achieve it. To remain alive, he must think.”

“A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.”

“One does what one is; one becomes what one does.”

“Distrust of grammar is the first requisite for philosophizing.”
