Questions Quotes - Page 14

To ask the 'right' question is far more important than to receive the answer. The solution of a problem lies in the understanding of the problem; the answer is not outside the problem, it is in the problem.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ask. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds -- justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can't go on. To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.

Anne Rice

...where were answers to the truly deep questions? Religion promised those, though always in vague terms, while retreating from one line in the sand to the next. Don't look past this boundary, they told Galileo, then Hutton, Darwin, Von Neumann, and Crick, always retreating with great dignity before the latest scientific advance, then drawing the next holy perimeter at the shadowy rim of knowledge.

Doubt is a question mark; faith is an exclamation point. The most compelling, believable, realistic stories have included them both.

Some communities don't permit open, honest inquiry about the things that matter most. Lots of people have voiced a concern, expressed a doubt, or raised a question, only to be told by their family, church, friends, or tribe: "We don't discuss those things here."I believe the discussion itself is divine. Abraham does his best to bargain with God, most of the book of Job consists of arguments by Job and his friends about the deepest questions of human suffering, God is practically on trial in the book of Lamentations, and Jesus responds to almost every question he's asked with...a question.

Rob Bell

Remember, an easy question can have an easy answer. But a hard question must have a hard answer. And for the hardest questions of all, there may be no answer - except faith.

Charles Sheffield

With faith, there are no questions; without faith, there are no answers.

Yisroel Meir Ha-Cohen

Gratitude is only expressed and appreciated in proportion to your understanding of grace.

When I die I hope it may be said:'Her suffering was black, but her books were read'.

Shannon L. Alder

That thing you thought you'd doYou start to think you can't;You always say tomorrow,But you haven't got a plan.Everyone's asking questions,And all you do is dodge.That career that you'd imaginedWas only a mirage.The older that you get,The smaller that you feel;You forget what's only in your head,And what is really real.Sometimes people make it;They become who they meant to be.But most of the time,Dreamers only dream.

Should IToday I am in search of a light,that can show me a way bright,Today I am trying to find a reason,For why my life feels like a prison,I am trying to find a way,So that, even just for a day,my seldom happiness could stay,I am trying to find a reason of pain,to know why it hurts and sometimes eyes rain,Today looking back at life and planning for future,I cannot forget those people and miss ventures,Should I stay, wait or move on,Or should I believe that, they moved on,Should i forget that old house and small streets,Or can I forget the faces, lanes and their good deeds,Its been a while and they are changed,Should I forget them or remember them as a tale,I feel so big, heavy and old,Should i take some decisions bold,Life being so rude and cold,But always i found a reason to stay and take hold,I hope for a light, reason and rain,Hope to overcome darkness, treason and pain.

Can a man's life be complete without his Maker?

Lailah Gifty Akita

Consistency in action is an essential component of success.

To achieve your dreams you must be willing to take massive action over a long period, even when there is no evidence of progress.

The moment you choose to be accountable for all outcomes in your life, you distance yourself from the position of a victim and assume the role of a change agent.

It’s difficult to accept full responsibility and apportion blame at the same time – you have to choose one.

We all have within ourselves the inclination to try to pass the blame to others when things don’t work in our favour. The ultimate challenge comes from suppressing this innate desire and replacing it with accountability and ownership for all things, good or bad.

One of the greatest obstacles to success is the belief is that your future is predetermined. It isn’t. You decide the outcomes through your decisions and actions.

It’s easy to play the victim card (all of us have done this), but this mindset is one of the greatest obstacles to progress and growth.

Accepting complete responsibility is the unsung character trait of those who find uncommon success, and failure to accept responsibility is a common trait of those who end up with a mediocre life.

Ideas and dreams are only valuable after they have been acted on.

A mediocre idea acted on is of more value than a handful of brilliant ideas that remain in your mind.

You may spend much time and energy in preparation that you forget that the most important and essential step is action.

Action is where sacrifice is honoured and where you require persistence and courage to endure all that life throws in your direction.

Although a decision is often viewed as the turning point, it is action that creates tangible results.

Never allow your life to be dictated by what you can see by sight, be guided by your inner vision.

Create in your mind a picture of what you want and then live that vision as if it already exists.

A vision is a promise of the future as seen in the present.

Vision inspires and clarifies what needs to be done in the present to achieve the promise of the future.

To achieve success, you need to develop the ability to see through your mind’s eye continuously.

The most successful individuals and leaders achieve their dreams because they have a clear vision they have committed their life to.

Success is built on what you are able to see and create with your mind.

The difference between those who achieve their dreams and those who don’t is in their ability to see not only with their eyes but also their minds.

The power and magnetic pull of your vision is hinged on the purpose and passion behind it and, most importantly, the intent.

Your life today is a direct reflection of the decisions you made and the actions you took.

Your vision helps you filter your decisions or choices and directs your actions.

Your vision is a glimpse of your purpose and a picture of your larger dream.

Waiting is often a decision not to accept responsibility and is one of the reasons why some people never reach their potential.

Your vision helps the world identify you at the appropriate time.

Those whom you spend most of your time with, and the voices you allow to influence your thoughts, play a significant part in who you become and the future you have.

Those in your inner circle can significantly influence your success and the progress you make towards achieving your dreams.

Success is achieved by the deliberate consistent discipline of taking small steps daily rather than one large step occasionally.

Taking action provides immediate feedback and an opportunity to review your progress to see if you are on the right track.

The first step may be the hardest, but once you take action you create motion, which in turn builds momentum.

Taking consistent action is guaranteed to increase the probability of your success.

The best way of creating motivation is to do something. If you take action, motivation will follow

Waiting for things to happen is like daydreaming. To break out of that cycle, you must be willing to take the first small step.

Success is in direct proportion to the level of consistency in the application of the daily disciplines and actions required.

If your actions are combined with proper planning and perseverance, there are no heights you cannot attain.

Consistency in action is easy once you convert your daily disciplines and activities into habits.

Consistency is the difference between game excellence and an excellent game. Successful people do consistently what the others do occasionally.

Feedback is to success like rest is to the body.

What you do consistently shapes your life.

Your success will be in direct proportion to your level of consistency in your application of the daily activities and actions needed for success.

You are often prevented from reaching your full potential because you hold so tightly to your past success.

To become successful, you have to let go of something to get something else of greater value.
