Mindfulness Quotes (page 67)

Oh! certainly," cried his faithful assistant, "no one can be really esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met with. A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half-deserved."All this she must possess," added Darcy, "and... Jane Austen
James Joyce quote: "This is the way to the museyroom. Mind your boots goan out."
This is the way to the museyroom. Mind your boots goan out. James Joyce
Forward into the untrodden! Courage, old man, and hold on to your umbrella! Have you got your garters on? Mind your hat! ("Mr. Arcularis") Conrad Aiken
The evil of the actual disparity in their ages (and Mr. Woodhouse had not married early) was much increased by his constitution and habits; for having been a valetudinarian all his life, without activity of mind or body, he was a much older man in ways than in years; and though everywhere beloved for the friendliness of his heart and his amiable temper, his talents could not have recommended him at any time. Jane Austen
A man conscious of enthusiasm for worthy aims is sustained under petty hostilities by the memory of great workers who had to fight their way not without wounds, and who hover in his mind as patron saints, invisibly helping. George Eliot
George Eliot quote: "A man's mind must be continually expanding and shrinking..."
A man's mind must be continually expanding and shrinking between the whole human horizon and the horizon of an object-glass. George Eliot
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "Smile with face, smile with mind, and good energy will come to..."
Smile with face, smile with mind, and good energy will come to you and clean away dirty energy. Elizabeth Gilbert
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "When she sees the leaves fall, they raise no other idea in her..."
When she sees the leaves fall, they raise no other idea in her mind than that winter is approaching. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A submissive spirit might be patient, a strong understanding would supply resolution, but here was something more; here was that elasticity of mind, that disposition to be comforted, that power of turning readily from evil to good, and of finding employment which carried her out of herself, which was from nature alone. It was the choicest gift of Heaven; and Anne viewed her friend as one of those instances in which, by a merciful appointment, it seems designed to counterbalance almost every... Jane Austen
The divine bards are the friends of my virtue, of my intellect, of my strength. They admonish me that the gleams which flash across my mind are not mine, but God's; they had the like, and were not disobedient to the heavenly vision Ralph Waldo Emerson
Within minutes my 115-mile walk through the desert hills becomes a thing apart, a disjunct reality on the far side of a bottomless abyss, immediately beyond physical recollection. But it’s all still there in my heart and soul. The walk, the hills, the sky, the solitary pain and pleasure—they will grow larger, sweeter, lovelier in the days to come, like a treasure found and then, voluntarily, surrendered. Returned to the mountains with my blessing. It leaves a golden glowing on the mind. Edward Abbey
Henry James quote: "Don't mind anything any one tells you about any one else...."
Don't mind anything any one tells you about any one else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself. Henry James
I don't know any more about the future than you do. I hope that it will be full of work, because I have come to know by experience that work is the nearest thing to happiness that I can find. . . I want a busy life, a just mind and a timely death. Zora Neale Hurston
Our human tragedy is that we are unable to comprehend our experience, it slips through our fingers, we can't hold on to it, and the more time passes, the harder it gets...My father said that the natural world gave us explanations to compensate for the meanings we could not grasp. The slant of the cold sunlight on a winter pine, the music of water, an oar cutting the lake and the flight of birds, the mountains' nobility , the silence of the silence. We are given life but must accept that it is... Salman Rushdie
Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do great and good things. Believe that no mountain is so high that you cannot climb it. Believe that no storm is so great that you cannot weather it. You are not destined to be a scrub. You are a child of God, of infinite capacity. Believe that you can do it whatever it is that you set your heart on. Opportunities will unfold and open before you. The skies will clear when they have been dark with portent... He who is our Eternal Father... Gordon B. Hinckley
