Philosophy Quote by Lawrence Nault — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Some wisdom lives in your body before your mind can explain it. Trust what your bones know.”

“A child asking “why” can break a century of silence.”

“We measure wealth poorly if we forget the richness of time.”

“When you walk the land with respect, it remembers you. Not with words, but with echoes that guide you back when you’re lost.”

“Perfection isn't a thing, It is a moment. A very brief moment that in time, that is lost as the world and the universe continues to move around you. If we are going to reject solutions because they aren't perfect or come from imperfect people, then we will never move forward.”

“The river teaches us that persistence is stronger than force.”

“Most of what passes for legitimate entertainment is inferior or foolish and only caters to or exploits people's weaknesses. Avoid being one of the mob who indulges in such pastimes. Your life is too short and you have important things to do. Be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit into your mind. If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. It is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into vulgarity. But there's no need for that to happen if you determine not to waste your time and attention on mindless pap.”

“The meaning of earthly existence lies not, as we have grown used to thinking, in prospering but in the development of the soul.”

“The Philosopher's Motto: I came, I saw, I pondered!”

“Sometimes... Reason and Love are met with a violent ignorance that even what's right gets lost. Our heart bleeds, but when does the blood shed end and the healing begin?”

“Quando ouvimos os sinos, ouvimos aquilo que já trazemos em nós mesmos como modelo. Sou da opinião que não se deverá desprezar aquele que olhar atentamente para as manchas da parede, para os carvões sobre a grelha, para as nuvens, ou para a correnteza da água, descobrindo, assim, coisas maravilhosas. O génio do pintor há-de se apossar de todas essas coisas para criar composições diversas: luta de homens e de animais, paisagens, monstros, demónios e outras coisas fantásticas. Tudo, enfim, servirá para engrandecer o artista.”
