energies

«I firmly believe that all human beings have access to extraordinary energies and powers. Judging from accounts of mystical experience, heightened creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes and artists, we harbor a greater life than we know. There we go beyond those limited and limiting patterns of body, emotions, volition, and understanding that have been keeping us in dry-dock. Instead we become available to our capacity for a larger life in body, mind, and spirit. In this state we know great torrents of delight.»
«I am confirmed in my division of human energies. Ambitious people climb, but faithful people build.»
«Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.»
«Objectives are not fate; they are direction. They are not commands; they are commitments. They do not determine the future; they are means to mobilize the resources and energies of the business for the making of the future.»
«I always get back to the question, is it really necessary that men should consume so much of their bodily and mental energies in the machinery of civilized life? The world seems to me to do much of its toil for that which is not in any sense bread. Again, does not the latent feeling that much of their striving is to no purpose tend to infuse large quantities of sham into men's work?''»
«It is wise to direct your anger towards problems -- not people; to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses.»
«Scholars spend all of their energies on saying Yes and No, on criticism of what others have thought -- they themselves no longer think.»
«It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. But wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. Elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. There must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.»
«I believe in democracy, because it releases the energies of every human being.»
«Preserve the energies that protect you and vanquish all the miseries with the help of your strength thus acquired. »
