Quotes to Ponder
“If a way to the Better there be, it exacts a full look at the Worst.” ― Thomas Hardy
“Seek patience and passion in equal amounts. Patience alone will not build the temple. Passion alone will destroy its walls.” ― Maya Angelou
“It is important that when pursuing our own self-interest we should be “wise selfish” and not “foolish selfish”. Being foolish selfish means pursuing our interests in a narrow, shortsighted way. Being wise selfish means taking a broader view and recognizing that our own long-term individual interest lies in the welfare of everyone. Being wise selfish means being compassionate.” ― The Dalai Lama
“A well-intentioned person blinded by the wrong theory is little better than a person driven by selfish impulses. As the novelist and existential philosopher Albert Camus wrote: “The evil of the world comes almost always from ignorance, and goodwill can cause as much damage as ill-will if it is not enlightened…There is no true goodness or fine love without the greatest possible degree of clear-sightedness.” ― David Sloan Wilson
“There are three constants in life…change, choice and principles.” ― Steven Covey
