The Merits Of Acts
Upanishads (c. 800 BC)
As one acts and conducts himself, so does he become.
The doer of good becomes good.
The doer of evil becomes evil.
One becomes virtuous by virtuous action, bad by bad action.
$EOQ
Life's Purpose
Lu Yen (AD 800)
The secret of the magic of life consists in using action
in order to attain non-action. One must not wish to
leap over everything and penetrate directly.
$EOQ
The 2 Basic Motivations
Pascal (1623-1662)
Desire and force between them are responsible for all
our actions; desire causes our voluntary acts,
force our involuntary.
$EOQ
The 7 Basic Motivations
Aristotle (384-322 BC)
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes:
chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion,
desire.
$EOQ
Trinity I
Upanishads (c. 800 BC)
The universe is a trinity and this is made of name, form,
and action. The source of all actions is the body, for it
is by the body that all actions are done. The body is
behind all actions, even as the Eternal is behind the body.
$EOQ
Trinity II
Bhagavad Gita (c. 400 BC)
Knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the knower are the
three factors which motivate action;
the senses, the work and the doer comprise the threefold
basis of action.
$EOQ
A Fruitful Day
Longfellow (1819-1892)
Each morning sees some task begun,
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night's repose.
$EOQ
Hell hath no fury...
Quarles (1592-1644)
Beware of him that is slow to anger;
anger, when it is long in coming,
is the stronger when it comes,
and the longer kept.
Abused patience turns to fury.
$EOQ
The Heat of Anger
Shakespeare (1564-1616)
The brain may devise laws for the blood;
but a hot temper leaps o'er a cold decree;
such a hare is madness the youth, to skip over the meshes
of good counsel, the cripple.
$EOQ
Laborious Thought
Henry Ford
Thinking is the hardest work there is,
which is the probable reason why so few engage in it.
$EOQ
All That Jazz
John Philip Sousa
Jazz will endure as long as people hear it
through their feet instead of their brains.
$EOQ
The Danger Of Patriotism
Ralph Barton Perry
If patriotism is "the last refuge of a scoundrel," it is
not merely because evil deeds may be performed in the
name of patriotism... but because patriotic fervor can
obliterate moral distinctions altogether.
$EOQ
...Or Give Me Death
Milton
Give me the liberty to know, to think, to believe, and
to utter freely, according to conscience, above all
other liberties.
$EOQ
A Terrible Thing To Waste
Lord Thomas Dewar
Minds are like parachutes.
They only function when they are open.
$EOQ
Pay attention...
Reid
If there be anything that can be called genius,
it consists chiefly in ability to give that
attention to a subject which keeps it steadily
in the mind, till we have surveyed it accurately
on all sides.
