Overflow – Page 5

What would you not

What would you not have accomplished if you had been free? Possibly nothing at all; the overflow of my brain would probably, in a state of freedom, have evaporated in a thousand follies; misfortune is needed to bring to light the treasures of the human intellect. Compression is needed to explode gunpowder. Captivity has brought … Read more

Then came the gadgeteer,

Then came the gadgeteer, otherwise known as the sporting-goods dealer. He has draped the American outdoorsman with an infinity of contraptions, all offered as aids to self-reliance, hardihood, woodcraft, or marksmanship, but too often functioning as substitutes for them. Gadgets fill the pockets, they dangle from neck and belt. The overflow fills the auto-trunk and … Read more

God is so vastly

God is so vastly wonderful, so utterly and completely delightful that He can, without anything other than Himself, meet and overflow the deepest demands of our total nature, mysterious and deep as that nature is. Aiden Wilson Tozer

But the mark of

But the mark of American merit in painting, in sculpture, in poetry, in fiction, in eloquence, seems to be a certain grace withoutgrandeur, and itself not new but derivative; a vase of fair outline, but empty,–which whoso sees, may fill with what wit and character is in him, but which does not, like the charged … Read more

The whole of life

The whole of life has become an institution, a madhouse in which duties are to be fulfilled not love; in which you have to behave, not be spontaneous; in which a pattern has to be followed, not the overflow of life and energy.

True celebration arises from a joy that is first experienced deep within, and spills over into an overflow of song and dance and laughter, and yes, even tears of gratitude.
Rajneesh

I never pile a plate to the point where it overflows. I’d rather have a small plate with small portions and then get up for more if I’m still hungry. Rachel Nichols

The enthusiastic uprising of

The enthusiastic uprising of the people in our cause, is our great reliance; and we can not safely give it any check, even thoughit overflows, and runs in channels not laid down in any chart. Abraham Lincoln

Life is perpetually creative

Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization.
Rabindranath Tagore

Let us not pray

Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them. Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it. Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization. The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.
Rabindranath Tagore
