World

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not

The world is entering a new time zone, and one of the most difficult adjustments people must make is in their fundamental concepts and beliefs about the management of time.

"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.... People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back."

"People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character."

"There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go."

"The world is full of cactus, but we don't have to sit on it."

"True contentment depends not upon what we have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander."

"Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it."

"The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms; and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course."

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."

"The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do."

"I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy!"

"If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years."

"If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all."

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."

"You must be the change you want to see in the world."

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are sure and the intelligent are full of doubt."

"There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality;
and then there are those who turn one into the other.”

“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that
he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even
one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
