Quotes and Aphorisms 21.06.2017

As the poet absolutely correctly put it, “we did not teach dialectics according to Hegel.” Since school years Soviet generation remembered the lines of another mentor, Nikolai Ostrovsky, who insisted: life must be lived in such a way “that there is no excruciating pain...” The textbook phrase ended with a call to give all one’s strength to the “struggle for the liberation of humanity.”

Decades have passed, and many of us remain grateful to Nikolai Ostrovsky for his personal example of perseverance and for his unique aphorisms and quotes about life with meaning. The point is not even that they corresponded to that heroic era. No, similar thoughts were also heard in the statements of philosophers and historical figures ancient world, and at other times. He just set the highest bar, which is not achievable for everyone.

However, another thinker around the same period advised: “Steer higher, the current will still carry you away.” So figuratively, Nicholas Roerich explained that there must be high goals, and then life, environment He will definitely make his own adjustments. Aphorisms about the life of this great scientist and cultural figure are worth studying separately and in detail.

Today I have prepared for you, my dear readers, a selection of various catch phrases, which perhaps will help us all take a slightly different look at ourselves, our place in the world, our purpose.

The great ones about work, creativity, and other high meanings

We spend at least a third of our working-age lives working. In reality, most of us spend much more time doing things than is outlined in the official daily routine. It is no coincidence that aphorisms and quotes about life with meaning from great people and the statements of our contemporaries are often based precisely on this side of our existence.

When work and hobbies coincide or are at least close to each other, when we choose something we like, it becomes as productive as possible and brings us a lot positive emotions. The Russian people have created many proverbs and sayings about the role of crafts and a good attitude to business in everyday life. “He who gets up early, God gives to him,” our wise ancestors said. And they joked caustically about lazy people: “They are on the committee for trampling the pavements.” Let's see what aphorisms about life and life values were left to us as a guide to action by the sages of different eras and peoples.

I hope that these clever aphorisms about living with meaning, describing such situations, will be at least a little useful to you.
