Lao Tzu wrote: “Know the personal, yet keep to the impersonal: Accept the world as it is. Then the Tao will be luminous inside you, and you will return to the Uncarved Block.” There is so much philosophy packed into this verse that it summarizes central teachings about happiness from three great ancient traditions: those not only from Taoism, but also from Buddhism and Stoicism

Lou Marinoff Quotes

With increasing frequency in recent times, people have confused privileges with rights, objectivity with subjectivity, wishing with willing, wanting with needing, price with value, affluence with fulfillment, reality with appearance, and sameness with equality. Not to mention dis-ease with disease.
Lou Marinoff
hacer lo correcto conduce a la felicidad; lo erróneo, a la infelicidad. Esto es absolutamente independiente de quién seas, la edad que tengas y el lugar donde estés. Lo decreta el Camino.

Therapy for the Sane: How Philosophy Can Change Your Life Quotes
Showing a photograph of a brain lit-up in a certain way, and claiming that this “explains” samadhi, is like showing a picture of a tree lit-up in a certain way, and claiming that this “explains” Christmas.

Therapy for the Sane: How Philosophy Can Change Your Life Quotes
You can wander around these outlet shops for hours, accumulating clothing and accessories until your credit cards melt down. But you will not find one single shop that sells anything for the mind or the soul. There are no books. There is no music. There is no art. There is no poetry. The outlets are a spiritual wasteland.

Not Prozac!: Applying Eternal Wisdom to Everyday Problems Quotes
El humor, los sentimientos, las ideas y las creencias cambian. Las relaciones, las carreras, las reglas e incluso las personas cambian. Los ciclos de nacimiento, vida y muerte en el ámbito humano y en el resto de la naturaleza están regidos por el cambio. Las estaciones, el clima y la evolución de nuestro planeta son siempre fruto del cambio.

El poder del Tao Quotes
And yet if every desire were satisfied as soon as it arose how would men occupy their lives, how would they pass the time? Imagine this race transported to a Utopia where everything grows of its own accord and turkeys fly around ready-roasted, where lovers find one another without any delay and keep one another without any difficulty: in such a place some men would die of boredom or hang themselves, some would fight and kill one another, and thus they would create for themselves more suffering than nature inflicts on them as it is.” —ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER

So many books, so little time.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
