Wisdom Quote by Charles Alexander (Ohiyesa) Eastman — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“To the untutored sage, the concentration of population was the prolific mother of all evils, moral no less than physical. He argued that food is good, while surfeit kills; that love is good, but lust destroys; and not less dreaded than the pestilence following upon crowded and unsanitary dwellings was the loss of spiritual power inseparable from too close contact with one's fellow-men.”

“The logical man must either deny all miracles or none.”

“You must feed yourself the truth because the world is sure to serve you lies.”

“Those who act in the dark become even more unsure and uncertain of themselves. But the same people, when honor, praise, or approval is expressed by external signs, clearly become confident in their actions, for their spirit and judgment are strengthened by these signs.”

“The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.”

“A dog only urinates on that which stands firm.”

“Die Welt ist von Narren geschaffen, damit Weise in ihr Leben.”

“I, who boast of embracing the pleasures of life so assiduously and so particularly, find in them, when I look at them thus minutely, virtually nothing but wind. But what of it? We are all wind.”
