#quotes #confucius #motivation #desire #success

What exists is a godly existence, a divine existence. God not as a person but as a presence certainly exists.

If you have not known yourself you will never know God. ~Rajneesh

#quotes #john-o-donohue #desire

Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle
