    William James (2008). “Talks to Teachers on Psychology and to Students on Some of Life's Ideals”, p.17, Cosimo, Inc.

    Dale Carnegie, General Press (2016). “The Art of Public Speaking”, p.159, GENERAL PRESS

    Dream   Prayer   Sleep

  • The history of all times and nations teaches us that exactly in the naïve, unshakable belief, furnished by religion in active life of believers, originate the most intense motives for the most significant creative performance, not only in the field of arts and sciences but also in politics.

    Art   Creative   Atheism  
  • For in order that man may do well, whether in the works of the active life, or in those of the contemplative life, he needs the fellowship of friends.

    Josef Pieper (1989). “An Anthology”, p.42, Ignatius Press

  • When a man and woman are successfully in love, their whole activity is energized and victorious. They walk better, their digestion improves, they think more clearly, their secret worries drop away, the world is fresh and interesting, and they can do more than they dreamed that they could do. In love of this kind sexual intimacy is not the dead end of desire as it is in romantic or promiscuous love, but periodic affirmation of the inward delight of desire pervading an active life.

  • The words graphic designer, architect, or industrial designer stick in my throat, giving me a sense of limitation, of specialisation within the specialty, of a relationship to society and form itself that is unsatisfactory and incomplete. This inadequate set of terms to describe an active life reveals only partially the still undefined nature of the designer.

  • In an active life is sown the seed of wisdom; but he who reflects not, never reaps; has no harvest from it, but carries the burden of age without the wages of experience; nor knows himself old, but from his infirmities, the parish register, and the contempt of mankind. And age, if it has not esteem, has nothing.

    Age   Action   Life Is  
    Edward Young, John Doran, James Nichols (1854). “The Complete Works, Poetry and Prose of the Rev. Edward Young, LL.D.: Revised and Collated with the Earliest Editions. To which is Prefixed A Life of the Author”, p.489
  • The most active lives have so much routine as to preclude progress almost equally with the most inactive.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, Alfred R. Ferguson (1965). “Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Volume V: 1835-1838”, p.274, Harvard University Press
  • Society is the true sphere of human virtue. In social, active life, difficulties will perpetually be met with; restraints of many kinds will be necessary; and studying to behave right in respect of these is a discipline of the human heart, useful to others, and improving to itself. Suffering is no duty, but where it is necessary to avoid guilt, or to do good; nor pleasure a crime, but where it strengthens the influence of bad inclinations, or lessens the generous activity of virtue.

    Samuel Johnson, Elizabeth Carter, Samuel Richardson, Catherine Talbot (1806). “The Rambler: In Four Volumes ...”, p.259
