Let Down Quotes - Page 3

• La reputación es una recompensa, sin duda, pero en realidad es el principio, no el final del esfuerzo. No debe ser la señal de una decepción, sino más bien un recordatorio de que los estándares que ganaron el reconocimiento no pueden rebajarse nunca más. De quien da mucho, siempre se espera mucho.

• Did you love well what very soon you left? Come home and take me in your arms and take away this stomach ache, headache, heartache. Never so full, I never was bereft so utterly. The winter evenings drift dark to the window. Not one work will make you, where you are, turn in your day, or wake from your night toward me. The only gift I got to keep or give is what I've cried, floodgates let down to mourning for the dead chances, for the end of being young, for everyone I loved who really died. I drank our one year out in brine instead of honey from the seasons of your tongue.

• Hoy en día, en nuestra cultura materialista, a muchas personas se les hace creer que el dinero es la máxima fuente de felicidad. Por eso, cuando no tienen suficiente, se sienten defraudados. Por lo tanto, es importante hacer saber a la gente que la fuente de la satisfacción y la felicidad está dentro de ellos mismos, y que está relacionada con el cultivo de nuestros valores interiores naturales.

  Dalai Lama

• I love mysteries. To fall into a mystery and its danger ... everything becomes so intense in those moments. When most mysteries are solved, I feel tremendously let down. So I want things to feel solved up to a point, but there's got to be a certain percentage left over to keep the dream going. It's like at the end of Chinatown: The guy says, 'Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown.' You understand it, but you don't understand it, and it keeps that mystery alive. That's the most beautiful thing.

• Si lo que buscas es la felicidad, te sentirás defraudado con frecuencia y serás infeliz la mayor parte del tiempo. La alegría, sin embargo, es otra cosa. No es una elección, no es una respuesta a un resultado, es una constante. La alegría es "el sentimiento que tenemos al hacer lo que estamos destinados a hacer", sin importar el resultado.

• I regularly see constituents, speak to people who feel let down by the justice system quite fundamentally, and these are people who don't make the headlines. These are people who have felt that their sense - their grief, their sense of injustice has been compounded by a system that just doesn't work, that just doesn't listen to victims, that effectively disempowers them all too often.

• As flowers carry dewdrops, trembling on the edges of the petals, and ready to fall at the first waft of wind or brush of bird, so the heart should carry its beaded words of thanksgiving; and at the first breath of heavenly flavor, let down the shower, perfumed with the heart's gratitude.
