    “Develop the habit of suspending the need to judge everything that crosses your path. Consider and even momentarily entertain viewpoints opposite to your own, seeing how they feel. Do anything to break up your normal train of thinking and your sense that you already know the truth.”

    Robert Greene, The Daily Laws (Page 109)

      “Real life is found only in the present. If people tell you that you should live your life preparing for the future, do not believe them. We live in this life, and we know this life only, and therefore all our efforts should be directed toward the improvement of this life. Not your life in general but every hour of this life should be lived in the best way you know how.”

      Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 93)

        “All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”

        Blaise Pascal, The Daily Laws (Page 106)

          “Charity can be a lifestyle, not merely a gift. Read charitably. Give the author your most favorable interpretation. Listen charitably. Donate your undivided attention. Work charitably. Be generous with your expertise. In this way, you make charity a daily habit.”

            “If today was a holiday in your honor, what would it be about. If we had to examine everything about you, your work, your impact, your reputation–what would be the positive caricature we would draw? What sorts of slogans, banners and greetings would we use to celebrate you and your work? It’s never accurate to boil down an organization or a person’s work to a simple sentence or two, but we do it anyway. What’s yours?”

              “If you see that some aspect of your society is bad, and you want to improve it, there is only one way to do so: you have to improve people. And in order to improve people, you begin with only one thing: you can become better yourself.”

              Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 89)
