10 of the Most Insightful Quotes of All Time
We read books, quotes, and articles,
listen to podcasts to expand our perspective,
search for clarity and answers, and entertain ourselves.
Life keeps on reminding us about the value of educating yourself
and arming your mind with insights and understanding.
People who have lived long enough and have seen
and experienced life through multiple lenses
have come up with quotes that describe their journey.
Take their perspective as a guide and apply it to your life.
You may disagree with them all,
and some may not resonate with your life,
but there is truth in some.
Here are 10 of the Most Insightful Quotes of All Time:
1. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
What is the point of succeeding if you lose your
integrity, values, and inner peace?
Chasing success and material wealth is okay
but it does not bring fulfillment.
Never trade anything with your soul.
2. The one who will lie for you will lie against you.
Some people will betray you,
and you should be careful about what you tell them.
A person who tells you others’ secrets
will also spit your secrets to others.
Stay away from people like this.
3. If it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive.
Sometimes, the cost of a thing does not lie
in what you attain but in what you lose.
Losing your peace of mind is very expensive.
No matter the gain, always see the cost first.
4. We suffer more in imagination than in reality
Sometimes, the problem isn’t that big
but we make it bigger by overthinking
and imagining things that may never happen.
Remember that worrying will never solve any of your problems.
5. If you meet an *sshole today, they’re an *sshole. If you meet *ssholes everywhere you go, you’re the *sshole.
Some people are bad,
but if you always meet bad people,
then you have to look at your own attitude.
People react to how you treat them.
6. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind.
People don’t go out announcing their good news to everyone,
they keep it to themselves and solve it.
We are all humans, so learn to be kind instead of an *sshole.
7. I wept that I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet
Being happy has nothing to do with having everything you want
but by being content with what you have.
There is always someone who is having a worse day than you
and someone who is having a better day.
Learn to accept everything and stop comparing yourself.
8. Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present.
The future is only a concept,
and the past is only in your mind.
What you have is now; learn to be present.
9. Ships are safe in harbors, but that’s not what they are built for.
Your comfort zone offers you safety,
but that’s not where you are meant to stay.
Go out and find your purpose, create yourself,
and transform into who you are meant to become.
10. Desire and craving are the root of suffering.
Yes.
