Worldly Quotes

Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally then to succeed unconventionally Picture Quote #1

As there is no worldly gain without some loss so there is no worldly loss without some gain Picture Quote #1

The worldly hope men set their hearts upon turns ashes - or it prospers; and anon, like snow upon the desert's dusty face, lighting a little hour or two - is gone Picture Quote #1

In the soul, when the supreme faculties move regularly, the inferior passions and faculties following, there arises a serenity infinitely beyond the highest quintessence of worldly delight Picture Quote #1

Poetry, whose material is language, is perhaps the most human and least worldly of the arts, the one in which the end product remains closest to the thought that inspired it Picture Quote #1

How is it that there are not many who are led by sermons to forsake open sin? Do you know what I think? That is because preachers have too much worldly wisdom Picture Quote #1

Prayer for worldly goods is worse than fruitless, but prayer for strength of soul is that passion of the soul which catches the gift it seeks Picture Quote #1

You must not forget that you have been given worldly means to use and employ against human arrogance and wrong Picture Quote #1

If family violence teaches children that might makes right at home, how will we hope to cure the futile impulse to solve worldly conflicts with force? Picture Quote #1

Yet, so far from laboring to know the forbidden tree of worldly pleasures and its various fruits, man gives himself up to a careless and thoughtless state of life, and yields to the lust of the flesh, not considering that this lust is really the forbidden tree Picture Quote #1

Worldly pleasures, such as flow from greatness, riches, honours, and sensual gratifications, are infinitely worse than none Picture Quote #1

Every day that we allow ourselves to take things for granted, every day that we allow some little physical infirmity or worldly worry to come between us and our obstinate, indignant, defiant exultation, we are weakening our genius for life Picture Quote #1

Each woman who lives in the light of eternity can fulfill her vocation, no matter if it is in marriage, in a religious order, or in a worldly profession Picture Quote #1

Let the mantle of worldly enjoyments hang loose about you, that it may be easily dropped when death comes to carry you into another world Picture Quote #1

For when asceticism was carried out of monastic cells into everyday life, and began to dominate worldly morality, it did its part in building the tremendous cosmos of the modern economic order. This order is now bound to the technical and economic conditions of machine production which today determine the lives of all the individuals who are born into this mechanism, not only those directly concerned with economic acquisition, with irresistible force. Perhaps it will so determine them until the last ton of fossilized coal is burnt Picture Quote #1

The worldly relations of men and women often form an equation that cancels out without warning when some insignificant factor has been added to either side Picture Quote #1

Worldly riches are like nuts; many a tooth is broke in cracking them, but never is the stomach filled with eating them Picture Quote #1

The doubts of an honest man contain more moral truth than the profession of faith of people under a worldly yoke Picture Quote #1

Perhaps when we’re forced to forfeit what we own, we lose any sentimental associations. Perhaps pawning our valuables frees us in the same way a house fire destroys not only our worldly goods, but our attachment to what’s gone Picture Quote #1

Happiness is not bought by money, but it can buy circumstances and conditions that improve the chances of a worldly kind of happiness Picture Quote #1

All men and women are born, live, suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live Picture Quote #1

It is sometimes asserted that a surgical operation is or should be a work of art... fit to rank with those of the painter or sculptor... That proposition does not admit of discussion. It is a product of the intellectual innocence which I think we surgeons may fairly claim to possess, and which is happily not inconsistent with a quite adequate worldly wisdom Picture Quote #1

I like when my man is worldly, know the finer things in life, is well traveled, and educated. It’s important to me that he’s able to talk to all types of people, from doctors to dishwashers Picture Quote #1

God is good but not safe, and the urge for safe art is often a worldly temptation away from goodness Picture Quote #1

For most of us, karma and negative emotions obscure the ability to see our own intrinsic nature, and the nature of reality. As a result we clutch on to happiness and suffering as real, and in our unskillful and ignorant actions go on sowing the seeds of our next birth. Our actions keep us bound to the continuous cycle of worldly existence, to the endless round of birth and death. So everything is at risk in how we live now at this very moment: How we live now can cost us our entire future Picture Quote #1

So I want to identify, if I can, the most important thing that we discover in life. At least, it is the most important thing that I have discovered. I will share it with you, like a precious jewel, fit for this occasion. I refer to love. Love for one another. Love for our community. Love for others everywhere in the world. Love transcends even scholarship, cleverness and university degrees. It is greater than pride and wealth. It endures when worldly vanities fade Picture Quote #1

Ordinary people do not question the commonly accepted version of reality. They conform to the standard values of subduing enemies and cherishing friends and family. Materialism, ambition and mundane achievements are the worldly hallmarks of success. We experience the phenomenal world and our minds as solid and truly existent. Very few people doubt these assertions and question their solidity. Yet, the process of disbelief is the first step on the spiritual path Picture Quote #1

Absorption in worldly affairs breeds darkness in the heart, and absorption in the affairs of the next world enkindles light in the heart Picture Quote #1

If you would reflect well and wisely, you would realize that those events you regard as personal misfortunes have served a useful purpose even in this worldly life, and indeed have worked for your betterment Picture Quote #1

Burn worldly love, rub the ashes and make ink of it, make the heart the pen, the intellect the writer, write that which has no end or limit Picture Quote #1
