Possession Quotes - Page 5

• People who know their worth can live austerely; it's the people nagged by the gnawing knowledge of their own cheapness who have that eternal necessity for submerging themselves in what they feel is superlative in material things, as if fine possessions could make them fine.

  Mabel Seeley

• ¿Podemos ignorar el creciente fenómeno de los "refugiados medioambientales", personas que se ven obligadas por la degradación de su hábitat natural a abandonarlo -y a menudo también sus posesiones- para afrontar los peligros e incertidumbres de un desplazamiento forzoso? ¿Podemos permanecer impasibles ante los conflictos reales y potenciales relacionados con el acceso a los recursos naturales? Todas estas son cuestiones con un profundo impacto en el ejercicio de los derechos humanos, como el derecho a la vida, a la alimentación, a la salud y al desarrollo.

• Wine, like the rising sun, possession gains,
  And drives the mist of dullness from the brains,
  The gloomy vapor from the spirit flies,
  And views of gaiety and gladness rise.

• My son, there is no rest for me. That which Sri Ramakrishna called "Kali" took possession of my body and soul three or four days before his passing away. That makes me work and work and never lets me keep still or look to my personal comfort.

• ¿Cómo pueden ser liberados de la vida del yo, quienes no están dispuestos a abandonar todas sus posesiones? ¿Cómo pueden creerse despojados de todo, quienes poseen el mayor tesoro bajo el cielo? No me obligues a nombrarlo, pero juzga, si estás iluminado; hay uno de ellos que es menor que el otro, que se pierde antes que él, pero del que tienen más dificultad en desprenderse los que deben perderlo todo.

  Jeanne Marie Bouvier de la Motte Guyon

• We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch tv too much. We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living but not a life. We've added years to life, not life to years.

• Friendship is a sacred possession. As air, water and sunshine to flowers, trees and verdure, so smiles, sympathy and love of friends to the daily life of man. To live, laugh, love one's friends, and be loved by them is to bask in the sunshine of life.

• Swami cannot give peace of mind; you must work for it yourselves. First, stop the questioning and ask, 'who am I?'. This is my body, my mind, my intelligence. But who is this 'My'? Who is it that claims the ownership of that which is declared to be 'mine'? 'My' indicates ownership. That 'My' is the life. As long as the life is in the body, there is this connection between the 'my' and the intellect - 'my' body, 'my' house, 'my' land. But the moment you remove the life from the body, there is no 'my' or sense of possession. Life is God.

  Sathya Sai Baba

• El problema no es la posesión de armas; el problema es su fabricación: ¿quién las fabrica y cómo salen a la calle? Ni siquiera debería haber armas que poseer. Si no las hubiera, no sería un problema. Así que tenemos que ir a la fuente del problema. Están haciendo todas estas guerras para poder fabricar más armas y venderlas, y quieren matar a más gente - necesitan controlar la población, porque la gente tiene que morir para que este mundo continúe. Ese es el objetivo del gobierno ahora mismo.

• I think we'll start defining wealth and success differently and develop new approaches to consumption. Things that have always signified wealth and security - home ownership, new cars, luxury goods - have become a burden for many people and will be replaced by more experiential consumption like travel and recreation, self-improvement, and so on. By divesting themselves of certain big-ticket possessions that have been keeping them tied down, people will gain a new freedom to live more meaningful lives. Changes in consumption and lifestyle are key to Great Resets.

• The people who have wealth and the people who earn money are going to be a little reluctant to part with it, particularly if they earned it fair and square. So, what has to happen is that there has to be a drumming in of a critique that causes shame, a sense of look, my country and even I am in possession of stolen goods you might say and therefore, the government becomes the instrument to get some of those back.

• He went to bed early, but could not fall asleep. He was haunted by sad and gloomy reflections about the inevitable end- death. These thoughts were familiar to him, many times had he turned them over this way and that, first shuddering at the probability of annihilation, then welcoming it, almost rejoicing in it. Suddenly a peculiarly familiar agitation took possession of him... He mused awhile, sat down at the table, and wrote down the following lines in his sacred copy-book, without a single correction.

• We envy those whose possessions or achievements are a reflection on our own. They are our neighbors and equals. It is they, above all who make plain the nature of our failure.

• La identificación con el cuerpo, con la mente, con nuestras posesiones, con nuestras familias, con nuestros amigos - cualquier tipo de identificación te lleva hacia fuera. Todas tus posesiones estarán fuera: tu mujer, tu marido, tus hijos, tu cuerpo - tu cuerpo está fuera de ti; tu mente - tu mente está fuera de ti. Lo único que no está fuera de ti es el testimonio. Sólo la vigilancia es tu buda. La identificación significa perder el testimonio, caer en la trampa del apego. Esa es nuestra miseria, esa es nuestra esclavitud.

• Where are the heroes and the saints, who keep a clear vision of man's greatest gift, his freedom, to oppose not only the dictatorship of the proletariat, but also the dictatorship of the benevolent state, which takes possession of the family, and of the indigent, and claims our young for war?
