Painting In Changes

Good day to you. You may be few, but I love it that you look at my site and I am able to share my art, meditations and any thoughts/feelings arising in time.

                                It is not necessary to change.  Survival is not mandatory.

 

 All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.  ~Anatole France

 When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.  ~Victor Frankl

 Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure.  But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it.  Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.  ~Shunryu Suzuki

 You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler.  ~Denis Waitley

            Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.  ~Robert C. Gallagher

 What can we take on trust
in this uncertain life? Happiness, greatness,
pride - nothing is secure, nothing keeps.
~Euripides, Hecuba

      They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.  ~Confucius

 Life is its own journey, presupposes its own change and movement, and one tries to arrest them at one's eternal peril.  ~Laurens van der Post

 You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation:  If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish.  ~Author Unknown

 Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.  ~Marcel Proust

                    If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.  ~Author Unknown

 We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.  ~Lynn Hall

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.  ~Henri Bergson

 The wheel of change moves on, and those who were down go up and those who were up go down.  ~Jawaharlal Nehru

The foolish love change just as the rich love austerity. ~ Peter G Kimble

 Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.  ~Pauline R. Kezer

 
 The foolish love change just as the rich love austerity. ~ Peter G Kimble ( I just fully got this todayFriday 28th March. even though it was me who thought of it a few days ago.. The rich want others to be austere and thrifty and go without, just as the foolish want to stay set in their ways and want others and the universe to change to their wishes!)  
 

 If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are.  For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained.  Keep adding, keep walking, keep advancing.  ~Saint Augustine

 Little stones that are pelted into the lake of consciousness should not throw the whole lake into commotion. ~Paramahansa Yogananda, God Talks With Arjuna

• Wisdom derives more from mistakes and failures than from success.

• Wise people are also humble. There’s really no such thing as someone who is both proud or arrogant and wise.

 "Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another." ~ Juvenal

 "A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering". ~ Buddha
