Carl Jung

All the greatest and most important problems of life are fundamentally insoluble…. They can never be solved, but only outgrown. This “outgrowth” proved on further investigation to require a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest appeared on the patient’s horizon, and through this broadening of his or her outlook the insoluble problem lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms but faded when confronted with a new and stronger life urge.

Walt Whitman

Song of Myself  You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look          through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in          books,

You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,

You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.

Lockon Stratos

The only thing you can change about the past is the way you feel about it in the present.

David Starr Jordan

“[For] the basis of intemperance is the effort to secure through [thoughts first and then] drugs the feeling of happiness when happiness does not exist. Men destroy their nervous system for the tingling pleasures they feel as its structures are torn apart.”

The Qur'an

Whomever We grant old age, We cause to droop in figure; will they not be reasonable?

Neal A. Maxwell

Whereas the bird is at home in the air, we are clearly not at home in time—because we belong to eternity! Time, as much as any one thing, whispers to us that we are strangers here.

Some Guy Who Calls Himself "Rick"

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

"The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs."

Ezra Taft Benson

“Cleansing the Inner Vessel,” Ensign, May 1986, 4

During the past few years a number of resources have been set in place in the Church to help us. [...]  We don’t need changed programs now as much as we need changed people!

Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr

“Nothing that is worth doing can be accomplished in your lifetime;
therefore you will have to be saved by hope.
Nothing that is beautiful will make sense in the immediate instance;
therefore, you must be saved by faith.
Nothing that is worth doing can be done alone, but has to be done with others;

therefore you must be saved by love.”

"I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.

"Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt1767-1835, German Statesman

"Because creative people aren't always in charge.
And when they do their best work, they're hardly ever in charge.
They're just sort of rolling along with their eyes shut, yelling Wheeeee!"
- Steven King, Everything's Eventual

"Real power is gained... on the thin edge between what one can do and what one can't." - Stephen E. Robinson (Believing Christ)
