Everything can be a teacher

The only true courage is to be yourself.

To become a blacksmith, you need to forge.

The best teacher in life is experience. Takes expensive, but explains intelligibly.

Learn from your mistakes. This possibility is the only thing that is useful in them.

Courage, will, knowledge and silence are the property and weapons of those who follow the path of perfection.

When the disciples' ears are ready to hear, a mouth appears ready to fill them with wisdom.

The lips of wisdom are open only to the ears of understanding.

Books give knowledge, but they cannot tell everything. First seek wisdom in the scriptures, and then seek the Highest instruction.

The soul is a prisoner of its ignorance. She is chained by the chains of ignorance to an existence in which she cannot control her own destiny. The goal of each virtue is to eliminate one such chain.

Those who gave you the body endowed it with weakness. But ALL that gave you a soul armed you with determination. Act decisively and you will be wise. Be wise and you will find happiness.

The greatest treasures bestowed on man are judgment and will. Happy is he who knows how to use them.

Everything can be a teacher.

"I" chooses the teaching method "I".

Renunciation of freedom of thought may mean the loss of the last opportunity to understand the laws of the universe.

True knowledge comes from the higher path, which leads to the eternal Fire. Delusion, defeat and death arise when a person follows the lower path of earthly attachments.

Wisdom is the child of learning; Truth is the child of wisdom and love.

Death comes when the goal of life is reached; death shows the meaning of life.

When you meet a disputer who yields to you, do not try to crush him with the force of your arguments. He is weak and will betray himself. Do not respond to evil words. Don't indulge your blind passion to win at any cost. You will defeat him already by the fact that those present will agree with you.

True wisdom is far from stupidity. A wise man often doubts and changes his mind. The fool is stubborn and stands his ground, knowing everything but his ignorance.

Only one part of the soul penetrates the earthly chain of time, while the other remains in timelessness.

Avoid talking to many about your knowledge. Do not keep it selfishly for yourself, but do not expose it to the ridicule of the crowd. A loved one will understand the truth of your words. A distant one will never be your friend.

May these words remain in the chest of your body and keep your tongue from idle talk.

Beware of misunderstanding the teaching.

The spirit is life, and the body is needed in order to live.

A woman is considered profound, why?
Because they can not find the reasons for her actions. The reason for her actions never lies on the surface.
The same affects in men and women are different in tempo; that is why a man and a woman do not cease not to understand each other.
Everyone bears in himself the image of a woman, perceived from his mother; this determines whether a man will honor women in general, or despise them, or, in general, treat them with indifference.
If spouses did not live together, good marriages would occur more often.
A lot of short madness - this is what you call love. And your marriage, like one long folly, puts an end to many short folly.
Your love for your wife and your wife's love for her husband - oh, if only it could be pity for the suffering hidden gods! But almost always two animals guess each other.

A little good food often affects how we look at the future: hopefully or despondently. This is true even in relation to the most sublime and spiritual spheres of man.
Sometimes sensuality overtakes love, the root of love remains weak, unattached, and it is not difficult to tear it out.
We praise or blame, according to whether one or the other gives us a greater opportunity to discover the brilliance of our mind.

Study, education

Everyone in the world loves the game; and the most prudent people willingly give themselves up to it until they see all the violence, tricks, delusions, loss of money and time associated with it, until they understand that it can be spent on it all their lives.
(Charles Louis Montesquieu, 1689-1755, French writer, jurist, philosopher, essayist)

Each person has at least ten opportunities to change his life during the day. Success comes to those who know how to use them.
(André Maurois (real name Emile Erzog), 1885-1967, French writer, literary critic)

An unbroken horse can be trained to harness. The metal melting in the crucible can be shaped into the desired shape. Nothing will come out of a bored loafer until the end of his life. Baisha said: "It is not shameful to have many diseases. If you have not been ill with anything in your whole life, this is a disaster." This is truly wise judgment.
(Confucius, 551-479 BC, Chinese thinker, founder of the ethical and political doctrine that became the basis of the social order)

We ourselves create the world around us. We get exactly what we deserve. How can we resent the life we have created for ourselves? Whom to blame, whom to thank, but ourselves! Who, besides us, can change it as soon as they wish?

The easy life teaches us nothing. And most importantly - what we eventually learned, what we learned and how we grew up.
(Richard Bach, 1936, famous American writer, former professional pilot and flight instructor)

Choice! Choice is the key to everything. You have options. You don't have to spend your life wallowing in failure, ignorance, sorrow, poverty, shame, and self-pity. You can live better.

Due to the lack of self-control, many people spend their whole lives struggling with difficulties that they themselves have created. Their own stubborn cruelty keeps them from succeeding.
(Samuel Smiles, 1816-1903, English writer, thinker, author of entertaining, moral and philosophical books full of facts from the biographies of great people)

Be flawless. I've told you this twenty times already. To be flawless means to find out for yourself once and for all what you want in life, and thereby maintain your determination to achieve it. And then do everything in your power and even more in order to realize your desire. If you have not decided on anything, you are simply playing roulette with life in a turmoil.
(Carlos Castaneda, 1925 (1931) -1998, American ethnographer, doctor of anthropology, writer (quote from the book "The Art of Dreaming"))

Life is a place of service, and a person has to endure a lot of things that are hard to endure, but more often - to experience a lot of joy. However, this joy can be real only when people treat their lives as a service and have a certain life goal that is not limited to themselves and their personal happiness.
(Leo Tolstoy, 1828-1910, Russian writer)

If the whole meaning of life is reduced to pleasure, in the end we will inevitably come to the fact that life seems to us devoid of meaning. Pleasure cannot give meaning to life. For what is pleasure? - ... the state of the brain cells. And is it really worth living, feeling, suffering and doing things just to cause such a state? Let us suppose that a man condemned to death is asked, a few hours before his execution, to choose a menu for his last meal. Most likely, he will answer: does it make sense in the face of death to please oneself with taste sensations? As soon as the organism turns into a corpse after some two hours, does it matter whether or not it has another opportunity to experience that state of brain cells called pleasure? So the whole of life is constantly faced with death, which inevitably crosses out this element of pleasure. Any unfortunate person for whom all life is reduced to the pursuit of pleasure would have to doubt every moment of such a life, if he had any consistency.
(Viktor Frankl, 1905-1997, Austrian psychiatrist and psychologist, professor of neurology and psychiatry, creator of a new direction in psychotherapy - logotherapy)

Before it's too late, don't forget that life's work is not business, but life.
Original: Don"t forget until too late that the business of life is not business but living.
(B.C. Forbes, founder of Forbes magazine, the world's most widely read business magazine)

If you want life to smile at you, give it your good mood first.
(Benedict Spinoza, 1632-1677, Dutch philosopher)

The true mirror of our way of thinking is our life.
(Michel de Montaigne, 1533-1592, French writer, philosopher, essayist)

Your thoughts become your life.
(Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, 121-180, Roman emperor (161-180) and philosopher)

Security is mostly a prejudice. It does not exist in nature and no one has experienced it to the fullest. In the long run, running away from danger is no safer than being completely open to it. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Being ready for change and remaining a free person, despite difficult circumstances, is the strength that nothing can crush.
(Helen Keller, a woman, blind and deaf since the age of two, yet became an All-American celebrity through her unstoppable drive to overcome her physical handicaps; reached the point of writing books and lecturing)

He who waits for the opportunity to do a lot of good at once will never do anything. Life is made up of little things. It is very rare that you get the opportunity to do a lot at once. True greatness lies in being great in the little things.
(Samuel Johnson, 1709-1784, English writer, thinker, critic, essayist, lexicographer, biographer, journalist)

In our lives we can find justification, or we can find health, love, understanding, adventure, wealth and happiness. We create our life by the power of our choice. We feel completely helpless when we shy away from the opportunity to make a choice, when we do not want to build our own life.
(Richard Bach, 1936, famous American writer, former professional pilot and flight instructor; quote from his book "The Only")

In life - with age - you begin to understand the power of a person who constantly thinks. This is a huge force, conquering. Everything perishes: youth, charm, passions - everything grows old and collapses. Thought does not perish and the person who carries it through life is beautiful.
(Vasily Makarovich Shukshin, 1929-1974, Soviet actor and film director, writer, screenwriter)

You can't get honey without hard work. There is no life without sorrow and adversity.

Debt is what we must give back to humanity, our loved ones, our neighbors, our family, and, above all, what we owe to all those who are poorer and more defenseless than us. This is our duty, and failure to fulfill it during life makes us spiritually untenable and leads to a state of moral collapse in our future incarnation.

The honor of a man is not in the power of another; this honor is in himself and does not depend on public opinion; her protection is not a sword or a shield, but an honest and impeccable life, and a fight under such conditions will not yield in courage to any other fight.

Cato the Elder

It is never too late to plant a tree: you may not get the fruits, but the joy of life begins with the opening of the first bud of the planted plant.

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky

What is more valuable - a glorious name or life? Which is smarter - life or wealth? What is more painful - to achieve or to lose? That is why great addictions inevitably lead to great losses. And irrepressible accumulation turns into a huge loss. Know the measure - and do not have to experience shame. Know how to stop - and you will not encounter dangers and will be able to live a long time.

Lao Tzu

Life should and can be an unceasing joy

The shortest expression of the meaning of life can be this: the world is moving and improving. The main task is to contribute to this movement, to submit to it and to cooperate with it.

Salvation is not in rituals, sacraments, not in the confession of this or that faith, but in a clear understanding of the meaning of one's life.

I am sure that the meaning of life for each of us is simply to grow in love.

In nature, everything is wisely thought out and arranged, everyone should mind their own business, and in this wisdom is the highest justice of life.

Leonardo da Vinci

The good thing is not that life is long, but how to manage it: it can happen, and it often happens, that a person who lives long does not live long.
