Life Teaching Quotes (page 5)

The characteristic feature of all ethics is to consider human life as a game that can be won or lost and to teach man the means of winning. Simone de Beauvoir
Andrew Carnegie quote: "I don't believe in God. My God is patriotism. Teach a man to..."
I don't believe in God. My God is patriotism. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life. Andrew Carnegie
There is an efficiency inspired by love which goes far beyond and is much greater than the efficiency of ambition; and without love, which brings an integrated understanding of life, efficiency breeds ruthlessness. Is this not what is actually taking place all over the world? Our present education is geared to industrialization and war, its principal aim being to develop efficiency; and we are caught in this machine of ruthless competition and mutual destruction. If education leads to war, if... Jiddu Krishnamurti
I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I'm beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn't pleasant, it's not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.

[A] disciple...can never imitate his guide's steps. You have your own way of living your life, of dealing with problems, and of winning. Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself. Paulo Coelho
Men of Athens, I honor and love you; but I shall obey God rather than you, and while I have life and strength I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy... Understand that I shall never alter my ways, not even if I have to die many times. Plato
boredom speaks the language of time, and it is to teach you the most valuable lesson in your life--...the lesson of your utter insignificance. It is valuable to you, as well as to those you are to rub shoulders with. 'You are finite,' time tells you in a voice of boredom, 'and whatever you do is, from my point of view, futile.' As music to your ears, this, of course, may not count; yet the sense of futility, of limited significance even of your best, most ardent actions is better than the... Joseph Brodsky
Now, what I want is Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. Charles Dickens
Terry Prachett quote: "There are times in life when people must know when not to let..."
There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this. Terry Prachett
Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us disperse from our aloofness and serve the weak who made us strong, and cleanse the country in which we live. Let us teach this miserable nation to smile and rejoice with heaven's bounty and glory of life and freedom. Khalil Gibran
Richard Bach quote: "An easy life doesn't teach us anything. In the end it's the..."
An easy life doesn't teach us anything. In the end it's the learning that matters: what we've learned and how we've grown Richard Bach
Richard G. Scott quote: "Worthy character is best forged from a life of consistent,..."
Worthy character is best forged from a life of consistent, correct choices centered in the teachings of the Master. Richard G. Scott
As he looked back upon man moving through History, he was haunted by a feeling of loss. So much had been surrendered! and to such little purpose!...Hedonism... was to teach man to concentrate himself upon the moments of a life that is but itself a moment. Oscar Wilde
In psychology (okay, Twilight) they teach you about the notion of imprinting, and I think it applies here. I reverse-imprinted with athleticism. Ours is the great non-love story of my life. Mindy Kaling
