What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action (Contemplation Quotes)
Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule (Contemplation Quotes)
The contemplation of celestial things will make a man both speak and think more sublimely and magnificently when he descends to human affairs (Contemplation Quotes)
It is a mortifying truth, and ought to teach the wisest of us humility, that many of the most valuable discoveries have been the result of chance rather than of contemplation, and of accident rather than of design (Contemplation Quotes)

Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour (Contemplation Quotes)
As objects of contemplation, images of the atrocious can answer to several different needs. To steel oneself against weakness. To make oneself more numb. To acknowledge the existence of the incorrigible (Contemplation Quotes)
Christian life is not a life divided between times for action and times for contemplation. No. Real social action is a way of contemplation, and real contemplation is the core of social action (Contemplation Quotes)
The wise man will be as happy as circumstances permit, and if he finds the contemplation of the universe painful beyond a point, he will contemplate something else instead (Contemplation Quotes)
It is necessary for the perfection of human society that there should be men who devote their lives to contemplation (Contemplation Quotes)
Repose is the secret of all contemplation and meditation, the secret of getting in tune with that aspect of life which is the essence of all things. When one is not accustomed to take repose, one does not know what is behind one’s being (Contemplation Quotes)
Five mysteries hold the keys to the unseen: the act of love, and the birth of a baby, and the contemplation of great art, and being in the presence of death or disaster, and hearing the human voice lifted in song (Contemplation Quotes)
Each human being was given two possibilities: action and contemplation. Both lead to the same place (Contemplation Quotes)
Spirituality lies in regarding existence merely as a vehicle for contemplation, and contemplation merely a vehicle for joy (Contemplation Quotes)
No man has a right to lead such a life of contemplation as to forget in his own ease the service due to his neighbor (Contemplation Quotes)
We have to understand that the world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is more important than the eye... The hand is the cutting edge of the mind (Contemplation Quotes)
Creative visualization may be described as an extended meditation session that reaches beyond passive contemplation and achieves transformative action. The uses to which it may be applied are limited only by an individual’s imagination (Contemplation Quotes)
Our very contract with nature has a deep restorative power; contemplation of its magnificence imparts peace and serenity (Contemplation Quotes)
Holidays and vacations can help to balance activity with contemplation, haste with more natural rhythms, noise with the heralding silence of peace (Contemplation Quotes)
The contemplation of truth and beauty is the proper object for which we were created, which calls forth the most intense desires of the soul, and of which it never tires (Contemplation Quotes)
How important is a constant intercourse with nature and the contemplation of natural phenomena to the preservation of moral and intellectual health! (Contemplation Quotes)
Contemplation is an alternative consciousness that refuses to identify with or feed what are only passing shows. It is the absolute opposite of addiction, consumerism or any egoic consciousness (Contemplation Quotes)
No person whose entire time is spent in the contemplation of limitation can demonstrate freedom from such limitation (Contemplation Quotes)
Furthermore, the apostolic life does not exclude contemplation but encompasses it and profits by it to know better the eternal truths it must proclaim (Contemplation Quotes)
I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green (Contemplation Quotes)
There exist certain individuals who are, by nature, given purely to contemplation and are utterly unsuited to action, and who, nevertheless, under a mysterious and unknown impulse, sometimes act with a speed which they themselves would have thought beyond them (Contemplation Quotes)
When human beings have been fascinated by the contemplation of their own hearts, the more intricate biological pattern of the female has become a model for the artist, the mystic, and the saint. When mankind turns instead to what can be done, altered, built, invented, in the outer world, all natural properties of men, animals, or metals become handicaps to be altered rather than clues to be followed (Contemplation Quotes)
The contemplation of beauty, whether it be a uniquely tinted sunset, a radiant face, or a work of art, makes us glance back unwittingly at our personal past and juxtapose ourselves and our inner being with the utterly unattainable beauty revealed to us (Contemplation Quotes)
Once released from life, having lost it in such violence, I couldn’t calculate my steps. I didn’t have time for contemplation. In violence it is the getting out that you concentrate on. When you begin to go over the edge, life receding from you as a boat recedes inevitably from the shore, you hold on to death tightly, like a rope that will transport you, and you swing out on it, hoping to land away from where you are (Contemplation Quotes)
