Text Quotes
Our greatest illusion is reliance upon the security and permanence of material possessions. We must search for some other coin  (Possessions Quotes) Demons frighten us because we set ourselves up to be frightened. We are overly attached to our reputations and possessions. When we love and desire what we should be rejecting, we are in conflict with our true selves. That’s when the negative energies catch us and use our weapons against us. Instead of taking up what we have to defend ourselves, we put our swords in the hands of our enemies and make them attack us  (Possessions Quotes) I also made two very important discoveries as time went on. In the first place, I discovered that making money was easy. I had been led to believe that money and possessions would insure me a life of happiness and peace of mind. So that was the path I pursued. In the second place, I discovered that making money and spending it foolishly was completely meaningless. I knew that this was not what I was here for, but at that time I didn’t know exactly what I was here for  (Possessions Quotes) There’s nothing wrong with possessions; it’s just that they have value to us only when we use them, engage them, and enjoy them. They’re nouns that mean something only in conjunction with verbs. That’s why wealth is so dangerous: if you’re not careful you can easily end up with a garage full of nouns  (Possessions Quotes) It is a shame for a man to be a millionaire in possessions if he is not also a millionaire in beneficence  (Possessions Quotes) The present generation finds itself the heir of a vast patrimony of science; and it must needs concern us to know the steps by which these possessions were acquired, and the documents by which they are secured to us and our heirs for ever  (Possessions Quotes) Good sense alone is a sedate and quiescent quality, which manages its possessions well, but does not increase them; it collects few materials for its own operations, and preserves safety, but never gains supremacy  (Possessions Quotes) You might say living in a monastery cuts down the commutation time. That alone gives you a couple extra hours a day to meditate. In a monastery you lead a relatively simply life. You don’t need a lot of possessions  (Possessions Quotes) You can live in the world and have friends, family and possessions. But don’t take them all too seriously. Death removes everything. Feel death is every moment, as life is every moment  (Possessions Quotes) I am a poor mendicant. My earthly possessions consist of six spinning wheels, prison dishes, a can of goat’s milk, six homespun loincloths and towels and my reputation, which cannot be worth much  (Possessions Quotes) Earthly possessions dazzle our eyes and delude us into thinking that they can provide security and freedom from anxiety. Yet all the time they are the very source of anxiety  (Possessions Quotes) Memory is the most transient of all possessions. And when it goes, it leaves as few traces as stars that have disappeared  (Possessions Quotes) Academic work is one of those fields which contain a pearl so precious that it is worth while to sell all our possessions, keeping nothing for ourselves, in order to be able to acquire it  (Possessions Quotes) Breaking up: It’s so easy to return their possessions, but so hard to get our brain cells back  (Possessions Quotes) To leave a place, you’d best leave everything behind; all your possessions, including memory. Traveling’s not as easy as it’s made out to be  (Possessions Quotes) When one has children one has no privacy. They take it for granted that what is yours is theirs, personal things and the secrets of your heart, as well as possessions  (Possessions Quotes) The whole idea of the pursuit of goods and possessions has completely corrupted the human experience, along with religion, which I think limits the intellect  (Possessions Quotes) How you spend your time is far more important than all the material possessions you may own or positions you may attain  (Possessions Quotes) I tend to look out for things with a resonance to my youth-artists or objects that seemed romantic all those years ago. I never buy anything purely for its value. I like possessions that smile back at me  (Possessions Quotes) God created the first pair equal in rights, possessions, and authority. He bequeathed the earth to them as a joint inheritance; gave them joint dominion over the irrational creation; but none over each other  (Possessions Quotes) One of the permanent possessions of the human heart is the memory of its noble enthusiasms  (Possessions Quotes) There are only two kinds of freedom in the world; the freedom of the rich and powerful, and the freedom of the artist and the monk who renounces possessions  (Possessions Quotes) People can be unreliable and disloyal; possessions can lose their value; jobs that once stimulated you can become boring. But principles remain steady through it all  (Possessions Quotes) The gentleman is a man of truth, lord of his own actions, and expressing that lordship in his behavior, not in any manner dependent and servile either on persons, or opinions, or possessions  (Possessions Quotes) It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly  (Possessions Quotes) Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives  (Possessions Quotes) A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs  (Possessions Quotes) Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy  (Possessions Quotes) Even the most beautiful scenery is no longer assured of our love after we have lived in it for three months, and some distant coast attracts our avarice: possessions are generally diminished by possession  (Possessions Quotes) We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it’s our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand  (Possessions Quotes)
