Contemplation Quotes

Words are very powerful and can lead anyone reading them or hearing them, into contemplation and insight. How the mind follows suit is rarely palpable or expected. This impact is not a matter of metaphysical effects nor of an unexplainable phenomenon. It’s simply part of being human Picture Quote #1

Silence must be comprehended as not solely the absence of sound. It is the natural environment for serenity and contemplation. Life without silence is life without privacy. The difference between sanity and madness is the quality of our thoughts. Silence is on the side of sanity Picture Quote #1

Let no one hope to find in contemplation an escape from conflict, from anguish or from doubt. On the contrary, the deep inexpressible certitude of the contemplative experience awakens a tragic anguish and opens many questions in the depths of the heart like wounds that cannot stop bleeding Picture Quote #1

In regard to the past, where contemplation is not obscured by desire and the need for action, we see, more clearly than in the lives about us, the value for good and evil, of the aims men have pursued and the means they have adopted. It is good, from time to time, to view the present as already past, and to examine what elements it contains that will add to the world’s store of permanent possessions, that will live and give life when we and all our generation have perished Picture Quote #1

Just as we believe by faith that the greatest happiness of the next life consists simply in the contemplation of this divine majesty, likewise we experience that we derive the greatest joy of which we are capable in this life from the same contemplation, even though it is much less perfect Picture Quote #1

Contemplation is not and cannot be a function of this external self. There is an irreducible opposition between the deep transcendent self that awakens only in contemplation, and the superficial, external self which we commonly identify with the first person singular Picture Quote #1

Most persons are so absorbed in the contemplation of the outside world that they are wholly oblivious to what is passing on within themselves. The premature death of millions is primarily traceable to this cause. Even among those who exercise care, it is a common mistake to avoid imaginary, and ignore the real dangers. And what is true of an individual also applies, more or less, to a people as a whole Picture Quote #1

Science is not enough, religion is not enough, art is not enough, politics and economics are not enough, nor is love, nor is duty, nor is action however disinterested, nor, however sublime, is contemplation. Nothing short of everything, will really do Picture Quote #1

Many scientists think that philosophy has no place, so for me it’s a sad time because the role of reflection, contemplation, meditation, self inquiry, insight, intuition, imagination, creativity, free will, is in a way not given any importance, which is the domain of philosophers Picture Quote #1

We shrink from the contemplation of our dead bodies, forgetting that when dead they are no longer ours, and concern us as little as the hairs that have fallen from our heads Picture Quote #1

While you have a future do not live too much in contemplation of your past: unless you are content to walk backward the mirror is a poor guide Picture Quote #1

Joy, n. An emotion variously excited, but in its highest degree arising from the contemplation of grief in another Picture Quote #1

The world can only be grasp by action, not by contemplation... The hand is the cutting edge of the mind Picture Quote #1

Action should be founded on contemplation, and those of us who act don’t put enough time, don’t give enough emphasis, to contemplation Picture Quote #1

In contemplation, if a man begins with certainties he shall end in doubts; but if he be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties Picture Quote #1

To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour Picture Quote #1

Death itself is less painful when it comes upon us unawares than the bare contemplation of it, even when danger is far distant Picture Quote #1

The mind still longs for what it has missed, and loses itself in the contemplation of the past Picture Quote #1

The height of devotion is reached when reverence and contemplation produce passionate worship, which in turn breaks forth in thanksgiving and praise in word and song Picture Quote #1

People who have read a good deal rarely make great discoveries. I do not say this in excuse of laziness, but because invention presupposes an extensive independent contemplation of things Picture Quote #1

The joy of all mysteries is the certainty which comes from their contemplation, that there are many doors yet for the soul to open on her upward and inward way Picture Quote #1

We must not imitate the externals of nature with so much fidelity that the picture fails to evoke that wonderful teasing recurrence of emotion that marks the contemplation of a work of art Picture Quote #1

If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works, with all the misconceptions, the omissions, the failures that any finished work of art implies Picture Quote #1

We want a state wise in its contemplation - just in its actions - and moderate in the reach of government into our lives Picture Quote #1

But unfortunately Locke treated ideas of reflection as if they were another class of objects of contemplation beside ideas of sensation Picture Quote #1

Action and contemplation are very close companions; they live together in one house on equal terms. Martha and Mary are sisters Picture Quote #1

I decided years ago that if I’m going to keep teaching contemplation, then the last years of my life should be contemplative Picture Quote #1
