He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man.

Gautama Buddha

A life out of balance is a person that doesn’t believe happiness can be achieved now, or in the future. It is as fleeting as the wind.

Shannon L. Alder

It sounded, I told him, as if he had never learned to balance projecting goals into the future with appreciating and living in the present....To the extent that our goal is to "prove" ourselves or ward off the fear of failure, this balance is difficult to achieve. We are too driven. Not joy but anxiety is our motor.But if our aim is self-expression rather than self-justification, the balance tends to come more naturally. We will still need to think about its daily implementation, but the anxiety of wounded self-esteem will not make the task nearly impossible.

Nathaniel Branden

The purpose of life is to live. The meaning of life is whatever you choose. The secret to life is balance in all things…

James A. Murphy

Writing is the way I make sense of a chaotic world. I see the tumultuous backdrop of humanity around me, and I feel it is my duty (mainly to myself) to create a sense of meaning and understanding in such an atmosphere. It's all about timing. In a world without order, I create order. Sequence and structure, even in the busiest of places, allow me to be at peace.

Leigh Hershkovich

Balance is only meaningful when we choose Love as the center of gravity!

Phil 'Philosofree' Cheney

In that moment, I felt differently to myself yet the essence of who I really was.Like a perfect state of balance.

Compassion: a robust dance between grace and wisdom.

Soul Dancer

Jaren found that, in doing balancing exercises, he could shut out not only the anxiety he felt but also the whisperings of the magic. The more he practiced, the better he could insulate himself from its insistent voice, and all other worries, and just focus on being...

Derek Donais

Briar: "They never tell you some things. They tell you mages have wonderful power and they learn all kinds of secrets. Nobody ever mentions that some secrets you don't ever want to learn." Rosethorn: "All you can do is learn good to balance the bad. Learn and do all the good within your reach. Then, if you wake in a sweat, you have something to set against the dream.

Tamora Pierce

Strive for balance in your life. You are the heart and soul of your business so take care of yourself.

Joey A. Concepcion

The source to low self-esteem is the lack of control you feel you have in your life. If you spend your life competing with others, trying to make right the wrongs done to you, or waste your time trying to look right, you will never achieve contentment and emotional balance. People you encounter in life can’t be controlled by you. You only have control of yourself. Build your life around a relationship with a higher power and achieving what you’re passionate about. When you let go of what you can’t control, true peace can then enter your life. This is the path to achieving emotional balance.

Shannon L. Alder

It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.

Philip Green

The answers lie in not just hard science or philosophical rhetoric but in experiments of the imagination as well. Human perspective must be re-examined through an almost whimsical fount of imagination of species, magic, and clear creative thinking.

Leviak B. Kelly

You can balance the unbalance. Once you believe the unbelievable.Then you will always be the best version of yourself.

Cass van Krah

Beware! Balance rules the cosmos. It is not concerned with good or bad. You can be struck by misfortune and be buried in grief if that is what it takes to restore the imbalance you have wrought unto the world.

Psyche Roxas-Mendoza

Bryant McGill

. . . the sole aim of Okinawa Karate is to teach A person to handle violence and violent individuals; whether it is tactile, mental or spiritual

Soke Behzad Ahmadi

Half of me is filled with bursting words and half of me is painfully shy. I crave solitude yet also crave people. I want to pour life and love into everything yet also nurture my self-care and go gently. I want to live within the rush of primal, intuitive decision, yet also wish to sit and contemplate. This is the messiness of life - that we all carry multitudes, so must sit with the shifts. We are complicated creatures, and ultimately, the balance comes from this understanding. Be water. Flowing, flexible and soft. Subtly powerful and open. Wild and serene. Able to accept all changes, yet still led by the pull of steady tides. It is enough.

Victoria Erickson

So the earth is shaking Here the word's faking As there's no time for lies. Kiss and dance all nights! In no need of balanceNothing makes sense Get it loose with no excuse. Shake and dance!

Ana Claudia Antunes

The great systems that inform the world about the truth and life invariably claim to be absolutely truthful and well-balanced. In reality they are quaking bridges built out of yearning.

Peter Høeg

Life's all about balance. To move on in life you have to strike a balance between your past, present, and your future; you may either be jerked off or left behind.

Richmond Akhigbe

Worry does not keep it from raining tomorrow, but it does keep it from being sunny today.

Shannon L. Alder

Every creative force has an equal power to destroy.

Curtis Bill Pepper

In the quest for a functional and direct interaction between imagination and reality, and the evolution of them both, there is in place a natural resistance, which I have referred to as Creative Resistance, because it demands just that: creativity. Much of this calls for redefining, or refining, one’s relationship with time, and all the qualities and skills that will only come from engaging time more creatively and effectively. As such, part of the bargain is about acquiescing to a rhythm that is subtler and has more definite purpose to it than one’s subjective preferences.

Darrell Calkins

The future belongs to Science. More and more she will control the destinies of the nations. Already she has them in her crucible and on her balances.

William Osler

Whenever a time arises where clarity is desired, it is always wise to reflect on the sage within.

Sereda Aleta Dailey

We have an internal check and balance system. By design we are so filled with possibility, opportunity, with greatness that when we live small, within the bottom of our capability, we innately know we should be living greater than that, and it creates a disconnect inside that leads us to feeling empty, unhappy, maybe even depressed.

Steve Maraboli

Perspective is as simple as answering this question: If I had 5 months to live would I experience this problem differently?

Shannon L. Alder

I am not always just living, just following all my fantasies; I come up for air, for understanding.

Anaïs Nin

Balance hangs in the fingers of Peace

James Butler

I'm not sure how much easier it is for a mother to balance her life now - have we simply swapped one set of restrictions for another?

Sara Sheridan

It’s a struggle for me to remain open," she admits. "To not shut down because I’m defensive or scared or maybe my ego is getting in the way. And the other side of that is just believing that I belong where I am and deserve to take up space. I fight constantly between those two things, between not apologizing for what I want and staying vulnerable and creatively supple and not thinking I know better than everyone else.

Amy Poehler

The only real purpose of time is to escort humanity in and out of this mortal coil in an orderly fashion.

Charles Stoll

I am afraid I am going to drift into fiction, truthful but incomplete, for lack of some details which I cannot conjure up today and which might have enlightened us. This morning, the idea of the egg came again to my mind and I thought that I could use it as a crystal to look at Madrid in those days of July and August 1940—for why should it not enclose my own experiences as well as the past and future history of the Universe? The egg is the macrocosm and the microcosm, the dividing line between the Big and the Small which makes it impossible to see the whole. To possess a telescope without its other essential half—the microscope—seems to me a symbol of the darkest incomprehension. The task of the right eye is to peer into the telescope, while the left eye peers into the microscope.

Leonora Carrington

Most people are about as happy as their self confidence will allow them to be.

Shannon L. Alder

Of all the variables in your life, your relationships may hold the greatest power to make you happy or miserable

Shane Eric Mathias

Of all the variables in your life, your relationships may hold the greatest power to make you either happy or miserable

Shane Eric Mathias

My first impression of [Patricia Highsmith] was a loneliness, a sadness in one so young (we were both in our early thirties) with absolutely no sense of joy or balance. Gauche to an extreme, really physically clumsy as well as boyish, it was almost impossible to put her at ease. It was as if she felt a deep distrust of everything.

Patricia Schartle

The supreme hallmark of reality is balance.

Bryant McGill

Understanding the world too well, you see too many options and become as indecisive as Hamlet.No matter how far we progress, we remain part animal, and it is the animal in us that fires our strategies, gives them life, animates us to fight. Without the desire to fight, without a capacity for the violence war churns up, we cannot deal with danger.The prudent Odysseus types are comfortable with both sides of their nature. They plan ahead as best they can, see far and wide, but when it comes time to move ahead, they move. Knowing how to control your emotions means not repressing them completely but using them to their best effect.

Robert Greene

Amazing how too much passion in one part of your life can destroy passion in other parts of your life.

Clifford Cohen

When you can't escape your mind then God is telling your heart to catch up. Fight for the balance you need.

Shannon L. Alder

Sexual frenzy is our compensation for the tedious moments we must suffer in the passage of life. 'Nothing in excess,' professed the ancient Greeks. Why if I spend half the month in healthy scholarship and pleasant sleep, shouldn't I be allowed the other half to howl at the moon and pillage the groins of Europe's great beauties?

Roman Payne

Those who might be tempted to give way to despair should realize that nothing accomplished in this order can ever be lost, that confusion, error and darkness can win the day only apparently and in a purely ephemeral way, that all partial and transitory disequilibrium must perforce contribute towards the greater equilibrium of the whole, and that nothing can ultimately prevail against the power of truth.

René Guénon

The world should have balance between evil and good, positive and negative. If one is missed there isn't balance.

Deyth Banger

The world to have a balance first it needs one liar and one guy who can discover who is lieing. That's called balance!

Deyth Banger

The feminine way is to look at the potential that is available and the masculine way is to look at what is not working and to find a solution to change that. So when we balance these two energies together, the solution is to co-create a New Earth together with Nature where we look at the potential of each and everyone involved to make a difference.

Maurice Spees

The universe, they say, depended for its operation on the balance of four forces which they identified as charm, persuasion, uncertainty, and bloody-mindedness.

Terry Pratchett

The quality of the will to power is, precisely, growth. Achievement is its cancellation. To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfillment, making the fulfillment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained, the vaster the appetite for more.

Ursula K Le Guin

You kill by consent, every time you let something… pervert the balance when you have the power to stop it.

Thomm Quackenbush

When you have passion, you don't need coffee.

Rob Liano

You have been given a great power. But no power comes without a price. That is how magic works. How the universe works. All things kept in balance.

Mindee Arnett
