Attainable Quotes (page 13)

You're not worried about anything, are you?" said Danglers. "It seems to me everything's going perfectly for you." "That's exactly what worries me," replied Dantes.

Wilhelm Reich
All who have actually attained any real religious experience never wrangle over the form in which the different religions are expressed. They know that the soul of all religions is the same and so they have no quarrel with anybody just because he or she does not speak in the same tongue. Swami Vivekananda
Man’s strength resides in his capacity and desire to elevate himself, so as to attain the good. To travel step by step toward the heights. And that is all he can do. To reach heaven and remain there is beyond his powers: Even Moses had to return to earth. Is it the same for evil? Elie Wiesel

The solution of the problem of life is life itself. Life is not attained by reason and analysis but first of all by living. Thomas Merton

Politics is the art of the possible, the attainable? the art of the next best Otto von Bismarck
I have said that they were truly happy; and without strong affection and humanity of heart, and gratitude to that Being whose code is Mercy, and whose greatattribute is Benevolence to all things that breathe, happinesscan never be attained. Charles Dickens
