Our quarrel with the world is an echo of the endless quarrel proceeding within us.
It seems that when we are oppressed by the knowledge of our worthlessness we do not see ourselves as lower than some and higher than others, but as lower than the lowest of mankind. We hate then the whole world, and we would pour our wrath upon the whole of creation.
In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.The remarkable thing is that the cessation of the inner dialogue marks also the end of our concern with the world around us. It is as if we noted the world and think about it only when we have to report it to ourselves.
Only the individual who has come to terms with his self can have a dispassionate attitude toward the world.
It is not love of self but hatred of self which is at the root of the troubles that afflict our world.
If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world.
Act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world.

Quality isn't something that can be argued into an article or promised into it. It must be put there. If it isn't put there, the finest sales talk in the world won't act as a substitute.
There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper.
We do not want our world to perish. But in our quest for knowledge, century by century, we have placed all our trust in a cold, impartial intellect which only brings us nearer to destruction.

The Clouds consign their treasures to the fields; And, softly shaking on the dimpled pool Prelusive drops, let all their moisture flow In large effusion, o'er the freshen'd world.
People see the world not as it is, but as they are.
Reason has never failed men. Only force and repression have made the wrecks in the world.
As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.

Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation.
One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation.
At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he knows he can't.
It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is. â¢Hermann Hesse Intimate relationships cannot substitute for a life plan.

It wouldn't be right to make it look too easy. â¢Helen Hunt If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms.
