Truisms

We might not have a manual, or an instruction booklet to teach us how to live our lives, but Life – happening, unfolding around us is itself a ‘Manuel on Life’ for us. If we pay more attention to what is going on in life, and learn the lessons, we will be doing all right.

And the wonderful thing is, all these life instructions were being recorded. They are called Aphorisms. Take an interest in Aphorisms. Learn from the wisdom of others.

People speak sometimes about the ‘bestial’ cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts. No animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel. - Fyodor Dostoevsky

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. - Chief Seattle

A child is going to remember who was there, not what you spent on them. Kids outgrow toys and outfits, but they never outgrow time and love. - Unknown

We need to rediscover how to be sustainable, to move from being apart from nature to becoming a part of nature once again. - David Attenborough

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire. - Aristotle

One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated. - Thomas More

You can beat forty scholars with one fact, but you cannot beat one idiot with forty facts. - Rumi

When nobody around you measures up, it is time to check your yardstick. - Bill Lemly

To safeguard one’s health at the cost of too strict a diet is a tiresome illness indeed. - Duc de La Rochefoucauld

Words differently arranged have a different meaning and meanings differently arranged have a different effect. - Blaise Pascal

You can talk about an idea forever, but only those with courage and determination will make it materialize for the world to benefit. - Unknown

A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because it is accepted by majority. - Booker T Washington
