Today’s Thought Gem—April
30 posts · 1 participants · started Mar 31, 2015, 6:59 AM
The high mission of any art,
is by its illusions, to foreshadow
a higher universe reality,
to crystallize the emotions of time
into the thought of eternity
The evolving soul
is not made divine
by what it does,
but by what it
strives to do
The destiny of eternity is determined moment by moment
by the achievements of the day by day living.
The acts of today are the destiny of tomorrow
Greatness lies, not so much in
possessing strength as in making
a wise and divine use of such strength
Knowledge is possessed only
by sharing; it is safeguarded
by wisdom and socialized by love
Progress demands development of individuality;
mediocrity seeks perpetuation in standardization
The argumentative defence of any proposition
is inversely proportional to the truth contained
There is no error greater
than that species of self-deception
which leads intelligent beings to
crave the exercise of power over other beings
for the purpose of depriving these persons
of their natural liberties
Man’s ability
to choose
good or evil
is a
universe reality
Truth is the basis of
science and philosophy,
presenting the
intellectual foundation
of religion
Love is
the desire
to do good
to others
Work with the soil is not a curse,
rather it is the highest blessing
to all who are thus permitted
to enjoy the most human
of all human activities
Almost everything of lasting value
in civilization has its roots in the family.
The family was the first successful peace group,
the man and woman learning how to adjust
their antagonisms while at the same time
teaching the pursuits of peace to their children
…peace is the social yardstick
measuring civilization’s advancement…
Put a premium
on fortitude
and courage
Only love,
brotherhood,
can prevent the strong
from oppressing the weak
…spiritual idealism is the energy
which really uplifts and advances
human culture from one level
of attainment to another
The family is the channel
through which the river
of culture and knowledge flows
from one generation
to another
Male and female are,
practically regarded, two distinct
varieties of the same species
living in close and intimate association.
Their viewpoints and entire life reactions
are essentially different…
