Pondering Quotes - Page 9

• What if we fail to stop the erosion of cities by automobiles? ... In that case America will hardly need to ponder a mystery that has troubled men for millennia. What is the purpose of life? For us, the answer will be clear, established and for all practical purposes indisputable. The purpose of life is to produce and consume automobiles.

• Go and try to save a soul, and you will see how well it is worth saving, how capable it is of the most complete salvation. Not by pondering about it, nor by talking of it, but by saving it, you learn its preciousness.

• The French use cooking as a means of self-expression, and this meal perfectly represented the personality of a cook who had spent the morning resting her unwashed chin on the edge of a tureen, pondering whether she should end her life immediately by plunging her head into her abominable soup.

• Nos limitamos a ver pasar cualquier cosa a toda velocidad. Pararse a pensar en lo que dice la etiqueta de un producto o el eslogan de un anuncio de televisión puede ser una tontería. Son cosas que casi están diseñadas para tirarlas a la basura.

  ni se borrará ni se escribirá de nuevo;
  Lo no escrito sólo te pertenece a ti:
  Presta atención, y reflexiona bien sobre lo que será.

• Una madre tiene una perspectiva única. Nadie ve la vida de un hijo como lo hace su madre, ni siquiera su padre. Esta es la perspectiva de María sobre la vida de Jesús. Me parece que todo cristiano auténtico, no sólo los católicos, deberían estar interesados en esa perspectiva, y no sólo interesados, sino fascinados. En el rosario reflexionamos sobre la vida de Jesús a través de los ojos de su madre. Es una experiencia increíblemente poderosa si entramos en ella plenamente.

• I think the general population of people just don't think. It's actually proven that people just use the part of the brain they have to, to get through the day. They don't sit there and ponder over the big picture stuff.

• One has a more practical survival level, that's the mind function. The heart function obviously has an internal level that has to do with the quality of developing perceptions, feelings, the self. And the spirit level has to do with the pondering part of our lives.

• I think there are dozens or hundreds of different forms of creativity. Pondering science and math problems for years is different from improvising jazz. Something which seems to me remarkable is how unconscious the creative process is. You encounter a problem, but can't solve it.

• Prudencia no significa no asumir responsabilidades y aplazar decisiones; significa comprometerse a tomar decisiones conjuntas tras meditar responsablemente el camino a seguir, decisiones encaminadas a fortalecer esa alianza entre el ser humano y el medio ambiente, que debe ser espejo del amor creador de Dios, de quien venimos y hacia quien caminamos.

• Curiosity restores is a state of heightened awareness. Culturally, this has been considered a child's activity. By the time we're grown, we're supposed to know enough not to get bogged down in life's miraculous detail. But the spiritual journey reactivates our sense of miracle and invites us to pause again, squatting over the sidewalk cracks, to ponder the lives of ants and stars.

• El Sr. Tulkinghorn, sentado en la penumbra junto a la ventana abierta, disfruta de su vino. Como si le susurrara sus cincuenta años de silencio y reclusión, le encierra aún más. Más impenetrable que nunca, se sienta, y bebe, y se apacigua como en secreto, reflexionando a esa hora crepuscular sobre todos los misterios que conoce.

• When you're a hammer (as the saying goes), all your problems look like nails. If you're a meteorite expert pondering the sudden extinction of boatloads of species, you'll want to say an impact did it. If you're an igneous petrologist, volcanoes did it. If you're into spaceborne bioclouds, an interstellar virus did it. If you're a hypernova expert, gamma rays did it.

• All creations are one with the universe. Look at the world around you. Can you effectively separate yourself from everything else? After seriously pondering this, most of us rapidly conclude that we cannot. To even make the statement that I exist as a unique entity requires comparison with something else. (If you exist as a distinct being, your distinctiveness is in comparison to other creations. No other creations, no individual you.)

  H. E Davey

• When we sit thoughtfully pondering in a quiet place and the Spirit speaks to us, there will come into our hearts and souls the things that are truly our greatest desires, those things that are more important in the long run than anything else. Away from the appeal of the world, that greatest desire usually relates to relationships with family and with the Lord. And when that priority is in place, then we begin to plan our lives with purpose. We begin to have goals that cause us to live with anticipation.

• ¿Leemos la Constitución y reflexionamos sobre ella? ¿Conocemos sus principios? ¿Seguimos estos principios y los enseñamos a los demás? ¿Sabemos defender la Constitución? ¿Sabemos reconocer cuándo una ley es constitucionalmente incorrecta? ¿Sabemos lo que han dicho los profetas sobre la Constitución y las amenazas que se ciernen sobre ella?
