Expand Quotations
I have no hostility to nature, but a child's love to it. I expand and live in the warm day like corn and melons. Ralph Waldo Emerson The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds. William James It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately. John Ruskin Start wide, expand further, and never look back. Arnold Schwarzenegger If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness. Les Brown |
