hum

The most contented people I know are those whose view of themselves is no higher than the esteem of others.

One regret, dear world, that I am determined not to have, when I am lying on my deathbed, is that I did not kiss you enough.

A look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start.

Guinness World Records

I beseech you, my brothers, remain faithful to the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes!

Friedrich Nietzsche

His desk is at chest height. “I’m a big believer in standing up. I told some of the team at News International the other day that I thought they should get rid of their chairs. They weren’t very happy. It was very funny. They didn’t know whether to take me seriously.”
All this standing sounds, well, rather tiring. Oh no, he counters, “because, think about it, you sit down when you go home, then you lie down. So you could stand up and walk around for the day.”

James Murdoch

La vita è
un’ esperienza naturale
postura, respiro, unione

For someone committed to the spiritual life, the pain of having committed a serious mistake can be so excruciating that it is hell here on earth.

Eknath Easwaran

Dinnanzi a un bivo, di una strada che va in basso e una che va in alto, prendi sempre quella che va in alto.
