Disappoint Quotes - Page 6

• Even if matter could do every outward thing that God does, the idea of it would not work as satisfactorily, because the chief callfor a God on modern men's part is for a being who will inwardly recognize them and judge them sympathetically. Matter disappoints this craving of our ego, so God remains for most men the truer hypothesis, and indeed remains so for definite pragmatic reasons.

• El hecho de que aún no hayamos encontrado la menor prueba de vida -y mucho menos de inteligencia- más allá de esta Tierra no me sorprende ni me decepciona lo más mínimo. Nuestra tecnología debe de ser todavía ridículamente primitiva, puede que seamos como salvajes de la selva escuchando el palpitar de los tom-toms mientras el éter que les rodea transmite más palabras por segundo de las que podrían pronunciar en toda su vida.

• To live moment to moment is the life of meditation. Then life becomes spontaneous without any effort; then nobody can make you miserable, nobody can disappoint you, nobody can make you a failure because in the first place you were not trying to be a success; you were not asking the future to be in a certain way. So whatever happens, the next moment you can rejoice. It is always your victory.

  Rajneesh

• No es raro que aquellos que en su primera entrada en el mundo se distinguieron por sus logros o habilidades, defrauden las esperanzas que habían suscitado, y terminen en el abandono y la oscuridad la vida que comenzaron con honor. Al largo catálogo de los inconvenientes de la vejez, que tan copiosamente han expuesto los escritores morales y satíricos, puede añadirse a menudo la pérdida de la fama.

• In traditional Hindu families like ours, men provided and women were provided for. My father was a patriarch and I a pliant daughter. The neighborhood I'd grown up in was homogeneously Hindu, Bengali-speaking, and middle-class. I didn't expect myself to ever disobey or disappoint my father by setting my own goals and taking charge of my future.

• No somos perfectos. Las personas que nos rodean no son perfectas. La gente hace cosas que molestan, decepcionan y enfadan. En esta vida mortal siempre será así. Sin embargo, debemos desprendernos de nuestros agravios. Parte del propósito de la mortalidad es aprender a dejar ir esas cosas. Ese es el camino del Señor. Recuerda, el cielo está lleno de aquellos que tienen esto en común: Son perdonados. Y perdonan.

• Don't expect me to be perfect. Despite all my lives, I'm still only human. I can't deliver perfection, and I'll only disappoint you.

But you have to give me the benefit of the doubt.
