The Art Of Less and Let Go

Humility & Some Footnotes

Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call ‘humble’ nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him it will be because you feel a little envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all.

If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realise that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.

I enjoy both reading and writing quotes.  Hope you will find even a few meaningful.  

Today is the tomorrow that worried you yesterday and all is well.

When you’re in your mind you’re not at peace and when you’re at peace you’re not in your mind.

It’s virtually impossible to panic when fully present.

What is happiness?  Drop your fears, attachments, illusions and the historical egoistically driven storyline and you will know.  

Ego is the anaesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity.

Once patience becomes easy, paradoxically, the hardest part is over.

Forgiveness is to set your hostage free and then realise that you were the only prisoner.

Nearly 100 percent of all inner conflict stems from continuing to question the simple answer well after it already has. 

Find happiness first where you most had it last.

Whoever or whatever we judge, we simply will not understand. Truth is, we don’t want to.

Before we question another person’s character, we’d better have answers that fully explain our own.

Peace of mind comes by way of making our final decision decidedly final.  

It takes only a moment to be kind and only a moment to wish we would have been.

You have never NOT been now.

I have no desire to proofread your past for I love you more than I edit you. 

Many make impressions; few leave them.

Either get to the point or admit you never had one.


A know-it-all must be prepared to eventually do-it-all.
