If men would as fervently seek after love and righteousness as they do after opinions, there would be no strife on earth, and we should be as children of one father, and should need no law or ordinance. For God is not served by any law, but only by o...
The soul, cramped among the petty vexations of Earth, needs to keep its windows constantly open to the invigorating air of large and free ideas: and what thought is so grand as that of an ever-present God, in whom all that is vital in humanity breath...
I don't know... it's just too much fun to wonder about what life would be without gravity. I just started thinking about outer space more as an adult than I probably ever did as a kid. That was also inspiring, the concept of being stuck to the earth.
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
People like Jefferson, Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony and M. L. K. are larger than life to me. I find myself staring at photographs of Lincoln almost in disbelief that he was a man who walked the earth and not merely some fiction writer's creation.
Having a child makes you realize the importance of life - narcissism goes out the window. Heaven on earth is looking at my little boy. The minute he was born, I knew if I never did anything other than being a mom, I'd be fine.
Life as an astronaut in space is a very interesting one. There are things we all take for granted here on earth, like gravity, that can make things a bit challenging. One of the fun things about getting here is the zero gravity and floating around. B...
We know too little about how life began on Earth to lay confident odds. It may have involved a fluke so rare that it happened only once in the entire galaxy. On the other hand, it may have been almost inevitable, given the right environment.
Consider: Life arose on Earth close to four billion years ago. Four billion years of slithering, swimming, and soaring life forms. But only in the last 200 thousand years has a species arisen that can fathom the laws of nature and build hardware able...
So it is that one side effect of the HD revolution has been the gratifying and edifying return of the nature documentary - films about the hugely varied forms of life that eat, sleep, stalk, mate, fight, thrive, suffer and struggle on our dear and em...
I live near San Francisco in the most beautiful spot on earth and enjoy myself in many ways. Yes, I love to work, which for now is to think and read and write, so it's all a dream come true.
My first job was when I was eight. I did this opera, which was a Robert Wilson/Philip Glass opera, called 'White Raven.' That was a very confusing and trippy creation tale, and I was a kid who brought up the sun and rotated the earth. It was very emp...
It is very important for you to have a mind of your own because most people can only advice you based on how they see life. Evidently, majority of the people on earth are yet to understand the true meaning of life.
Stop letting others decide your life for you. You only have a lifetime to live on earth. Make it count by all means. Stop hiding in the background. Let the world know what you are truly made of.
Even though that God didn't bring you on earth to turn you into a failure, He still expects you to always do your best before He can do the rest for you.
A giving heart is definitely one of the most precious things on earth. Most especially, when one is giving not because one has too much, but because one believes that it is the right and best thing to do.
You are as special and important as everyone else that walks on the face of the earth. We were all created by the same Almighty Goad. So be proud of who God has uniquely created you to be. You are very special in His eyes.
There is no such thing as some people being 'a few chosen ones' on earth. We were all specially created by God to live happily and prosperously. So please stop downgrading your God's given potential.
Never allow any level of success to steal your humility. You are not the first person to succeed on earth; neither will you be the last one to do so. Please humble yourself and never treat others like they are inferior to you.
Enjoy life while you still have it. No one knows their time of departure from the face of this earth. Therefore, be sure to always seize every moment that comes to you, and make it very memorable.
If you find yourself always worrying about what the people around you would say if you start being your true positive self, this would mean that you are yet to bond with your true purpose on earth.
