Understandings Quotes

How wretched are the minds of men, and how blind their understandings Picture Quote #1

We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts Picture Quote #1

I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy Picture Quote #1

Certain drugs provide brief excursions into altered states of consciousness. The problem is that the perceptions and understandings that come from these experiences don’t tend to last Picture Quote #1

Now man must learn to live without ideologies religious, political or otherwise. When the mind is not tethered to any ideology, it is free to move to new understandings. And in that freedom flowers all that is good and all that is beautiful Picture Quote #1

You, and you alone, decide what something means to you. Yet this is a decision that most people make based upon past feelings, experiences, understandings, or future fears. None of this has anything to do with what is going on right here, right now Picture Quote #1

Those who have the largest hearts have the soundest understandings; and they are the truest philosophers who can forget themselves Picture Quote #1

All discourse of which others cannot partake is not only an irksome usurpation of the time devoted to pleasure and entertainment, but, what never fails to excite resentment, an insolent assertion of superiority, and a triumph over less enlightened understandings. The pedant is, therefore, not only heard with weariness but malignity; and those who conceive themselves insulted by his knowledge never fail to tell with acrimony how injudiciously it was exerted Picture Quote #1

Copiousness of words, however ranged, is always false eloquence, though it will ever impose on some sort of understandings Picture Quote #1

The manner of your speaking is full as important as the matter, as more people have ears to be tickled than understandings to judge Picture Quote #1

I think there are stores laid up in our human nature that our understandings can make no complete inventory of Picture Quote #1

Our understandings are always liable to error. Nature and certainty is very hard to come at; and infallibility is mere vanity and pretense Picture Quote #1

Men, as well as women, are oftener led by their hearts than their understandings. The way to the heart is through the senses; please their eyes and ears, and the work is half done Picture Quote #1

It will probably be conceded that it is desirable people should exercise their understandings, and that an intelligent following of custom, or even occasionally an intelligent deviation from custom, is better than a blind and simply mechanical adhesion to it Picture Quote #1

We live in a world with serious class complexes. It is one thing to be a college student with loan debts and another thing to be just dirt poor for your entire life. The challenge is to come up with more complex understandings of where we are, more global awareness of what connects Americans with what is happening with suffering and oppressed people all around the world Picture Quote #1

Anytime new insight replaces an old assumption or a fossilized perception is the spring. New understandings sprout, new tolerances appear, and new curiosity draws you to previously dark places. Just as the sun shines earlier and longer in the spring, changes that seemed impossible appear to be possible with each new insight into your own health Picture Quote #1

Men are admitted into heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory. The fool shall not enter into heaven let him be ever so holy Picture Quote #1

Destiny commands... and imposes a sacred obligation to show up in the face of one’s desire for a normal, casual life... there are other forces afoot of which consciousness has only the dimmest of understandings Picture Quote #1

Too much nicety of detail disgusts the greatest part of readers, and to throw a multitude of particulars under general heads, and lay down rules of extensive comprehension, is to common understandings of little use Picture Quote #1

As my meditative experiences grew, I had wonderful relationships. I met the most wonderful women, who meditated and shared certain understandings that I had Picture Quote #1

It is always wise, particularly in the beginning, to balance your new intuitive and psychic understandings with good old common sense. A good psychic perception follows your common sense Picture Quote #1

Exciting discoveries in neuroscience are allowing us to fit educational methods to new understandings of how the brain develops Picture Quote #1

You don’t need anybody to tell you what is right or wrong. What you need, perhaps, is someone to show you how to come to those understandings Picture Quote #1

Certain drugs provide brief excursions into altered states of consciousness. The problem is that the perceptions and understandings that come from these experiences don’t tend to last Picture Quote #1

On the light side everyone thinks they are the most important, that their own understandings, or their group’s understandings, are the key. There’s a diversity of cultures and opinions, so there is competition, diffusion, and no single focus Picture Quote #1

Men have been adjudicating on what women are, and how they should behave, for millennia through the institutions of social control such as religion, the medical profession, psychoanalysis, the sex industry. Feminists have fought to remove the definition of what a woman is from these masculine institutions and develop their own understandings Picture Quote #1

Knowledge is not the same as morality, but we need to understand if we are to avoid past mistakes and move in productive directions. An important part of that understanding is knowing who we are and what we can do... Ultimately, we must synthesize our understandings for ourselves Picture Quote #1

It is as we respond to the understandings and feelings inherent in... art that we acquire much of our truth, much of our nobility and grace, and much of our pleasure Picture Quote #1

If we observe genuinely happy people, we shall find that they do not just sit around being contented. They make things happen. They pursue new understandings, seek new achievements, and control their thoughts and feelings. In sum, our intentional, effortful activities have a powerful effect on how happy we are, over and above the effects of our set points and the circumstances in which we find themselves. If an unhappy person wants to experience interest, enthusiasm, contentment, peace, and joy, he or she can make it happen by learning the habits of a happy person Picture Quote #1

Constitutions are not designed for metaphysical or logical subtleties, for niceties of expression, for critical propriety, for elaborate shades of meaning, or for the exercise of philosophical acuteness or judicial research. They are instruments of a practical nature, founded on the common business of human life, adapted to common wants, designed for common use, and fitted for common understandings Picture Quote #1
