Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both this is an observation of the Middle Way.
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white or women created for men.
Men exist for the sake of one another.
Deprived of meaningful work men and women lose their reason for existence they go stark raving mad.
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.
No one wants to go back to a situation where if you have a pre-existing medical condition you you can be deprived of coverage. No one wants to go back to a situation where if you get seriously ill you can get thrown off your insurance. Seniors don't want to go back to paying more for their prescription drugs.
Marriage is all about knowing the ins and outs and the intimate details and your wife is supposed to be the person you know best. But my brother and I think alike know everything about one another and when we get together we block everything else out. Nothing exists in our world except for us.
I think it's unfortunate that there exists only one path in America to complete social legitimacy and that is marriage. I think for instance that it would be far easier for Americans to elect a black president or a female president than an unmarried president.
True love cannot be found where it does not exist nor can it be denied where it does.
Love is an energy which exists of itself. It is its own value.
We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence and its only end.
I believe in the compelling power of love. I do not understand it. I believe it to be the most fragrant blossom of all this thorny existence.
There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists or simulate it where it does not.
Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.
The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation.
In the last analysis the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for 'finding himself.' If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence.
For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist to survive but to move ahead to go up to achieve to conquer.
There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist or accept the responsibility for changing them.
Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.
God is the King. In him exists all legal authority.
FOR a long time the conviction has been dimly felt in the community that without prejudice to existing institutions the legal day of weekly rest might be employed to advantage for purposes affecting the general good.
Although children are only 24 percent of the population they're 100 percent of our future and we cannot afford to provide any child with a substandard education.
