Beauty awakens the soul to act.
Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
Badges mean nothing in themselves, but they mark a certain achievement and they are a link between the rich and the poor. For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout's arm, if that girl has won the same badge, it at once awakens an interest and sympathy between them.
God sleeps in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in animals, and thinks in man.
The fact that logic cannot satisfy us awakens an almost insatiable hunger for the irrational.
Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.
Beauty does not linger; it only visits. Yet beauty's visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm; it calls us to feel, think and act beautifully in the world: to create and live a life that awakens the Beautiful. A life without delight is only half a life.
A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations.
Individual potential of life is cosmic potential. Individual is divine deep inside. Transcendental experience awakens that divinity in man. And when you kill a man you deprive him of that birthright of it.
If it awakens in us as a whole how important that is - the theme of how conquest and ambition are meaningless without contribution - I think then as a society we're in better shape. I hope people are inspired to be the best.
