Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643—March 31, 1727), born in England, is known as one of the greatest and most influential mathematicians and scientists, ever. He developed the laws of motion and gravitation, and was instrumental in devising infinitesimal calculus. He also showed what Pythagoras reasoned: all is number, and nature (and the universe) is based on mathematics.

What is less known about him is that he was an alchemist, believed in the philosopher’s stone, and translated the Emerald Tablet, an ancient, mysterious engraving made by Hermes Trismegistus. “In the later years of his life, Isaac Newton began a wild search for the philosopher’s stone. This, as some people believed in his time, was a mystical substance that could change base metals like lead into gold and could grant anyone who drank it eternal life. To Newton, this was no superstition—this was a genuine science. For whatever reason, he fully and completely believed that the philosopher’s stone was real. He studied every paper on alchemy he could find and ran test after test in a lab of his own making, struggling to create an elixir that would give him eternal life. The key, Newton seems to have believed, was mercury. In his notes, he had a recipe written by other alchemists that called for ‘sophick mercury,’ and he seems to have created some of his own…Newton seems to have believed that there was a coded message hidden within the Emerald Tablet that would let him control the prima materia and turn any element into any other, and he wrote a whole series of notes trying to unpack its secrets.” 

Below we list select words of wisdom by Isaac Newton.

“What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean.”

“Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.”

“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.

“Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.”

“Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.”

“I know not how I seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with while the vast ocean of undiscovered truth lay before me.”

“Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.”

“Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.”

“No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.”

“I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.”

“In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.”

“All my discoveries have been made in answer to prayer.”

“My powers are ordinary. Only my application brings me success.”

“Truth is the offspring of silence and meditation.”

“He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God; but he who really thinks has to believe in God.”

“To arrive at the simplest truth requires years of contemplation.”

“If I am anything, which I highly doubt, I have made myself so by hard work.”

“If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been due more to patient attention, than to any other talent.”

“God created everything by number, weight and measure.”

“A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.”

“When two forces unite, their efficiency double.”

“What goes up must come down.”

“Every particle of matter is attracted by or gravitates to every other particle of matter with a force inversely proportional to the squares of their distances.”

“Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.”

Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he discovered the law of gravity. He replied, “By thinking about it all the time.”

“If two angels were sent down from heaven -one to conduct an empire and the other to sweep the streets -they would feel no inclination to change employment because an angel would know that no matter what we are doing, it’s an opportunity to bring joy, deepen our understanding and expand our life.”

“Trials are medicines which our gracious and wise Physician prescribes because we need them; and he proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires. Let us trust his skill and thank him for his prescription.”

Dalai Lama is a title of the spiritual leader of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. The current and 14th Dalai Lama is Tenzin Gyatso, who lives in India as a refugee. Below are some words of wisdom by Dalai Lama​.  

“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live.”  

“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.”  

“Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.”  

“Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance or my kindness for weakness. Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.”  

“Man surprised me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”  

“Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay.”  

“The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.”  

“Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.”  

“When you talk you are only repeating something you already know. But, if you listen you may learn something new.”  

“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.”  

“Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or nonbelieving, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same. Physically, emotionally, and mentally, we are all equal. We all share basic needs for food, shelter, safety, and love. We all aspire to happiness and we all shun suffering. Each of us has hopes, worries, fears, and dreams. Each of us wants the best for our family and loved ones. We all experience pain when we suffer loss and joy when we achieve what we seek. On this fundamental level, religion, ethnicity, culture, and language make no difference.”  

“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”  

“I don’t know whether the universe, with its countless galaxies, stars and planets, has a deeper meaning or not, but at the very least, it is clear that we humans who live on this earth face the task of making a happy life for ourselves. Therefore, it is important to discover what will bring about the greatest degree of happiness.”  

“When you think everything is someone else’s fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy.” 

“Follow the three R’s: – Respect for self. – Respect for others. – Responsibility for all your actions.”  

“We can reject everything else: religion, ideology, all received wisdom. But we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion. This, then, is my true religion, my simple faith. In this sense, there is no need for temple or church, for mosque or synagogue, no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine, or dogma. Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple. The doctrine is compassion. Love for others and respect for their rights and dignity, no matter who or what they are: ultimately these are all we need.”  

“If someone does not smile at you, be generous and offer your own smile. Nobody needs a smile more than the one that cannot smile to others.”  

“Pain can change you, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a bad change. Take that pain and turn it into wisdom.”  

“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”  

“Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.”  

“If every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation”

Confucius, 551—479 BCE, was a Chinese philosopher and politician who was considered one of the most influential persons in human history. His teachings and philosophy are the foundation of East Asian society and culture. Below we list some of his words of wisdom.

“Keep it simple and focus on what matters. Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed.”

“Tell people – and they may forget…show them – they may remember…but involve them and they will understand.”

“A great man is hard on himself; a small man is hard on others.”

“Respect yourself and others will respect you.”

“Happiness does not consist in having what you want, but in wanting what you have”

“Cultivate the root; the leaves and branches will take care of themselves.”

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

“Three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”

“The gem cannot be polished without friction nor man without trials.”

“There is one word which may serve as a rule of practice for all one’s life -reciprocity.”

“If you try to do too much, you will not achieve anything.”

“The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life.”

“We are so busy doing the urgent that we don’t have time to do the important.”

“The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”

“He who knows all the answers has not been asked all the questions.”

“Do not wish for quick results, nor look for small advantages. If you seek quick results, you will not reach the ultimate goal. If you are led astray by small advantages, you will never accomplish great things.”

“Do not worry if others do not understand you. Instead worry if you do not understand others.”

“Attack the evil that is within yourself, rather than attacking the evil that is in others.”

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

“I was complaining that I had no shoes till I met a man who had no feet.”

“Don’t curse the darkness, light a candle.”

“If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else.”

“He who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”

“To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.”

“Yin and yang, male and female, strong and weak, rigid and tender, heaven and earth, light and darkness, thunder and lightning, cold and warmth, good and evil…the interplay of opposite principles constitutes the universe.”

“The gentleman calls attention to the good points in others; he does not call attention to their defects. The small man does just the reverse of this.”

“You must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.”

“Every house guest brings you happiness. Some when they arrive, and some when they are leaving”

Martin Luther King, Jr., born January 15, 1929, died April 4, 1968, was the most visible American civil rights leader from 1955 until his assassination. He furthered civil rights through nonviolence, motivated by his Christian beliefs and the peaceful activism of Mahatma Gandhi. We suspect his wise soul incarnated to teach the world about race relations, and so much more, and are grateful for his wisdom. Below we share some of his quotes, which are good reminders for the present too.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

“Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.”

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

“A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.”

“Never, never be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society’s punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.”

“It is always the right time to do the right thing.”

“Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.”

“Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.”

“We must learn that to expect God to do everything while we do nothing is not faith but superstition.”

“Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service.”

“Use me, God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself.”

“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

“Let’s build bridges, not walls.”

“This is the great new problem of mankind. We have inherited a large house, a great ‘world house’ in which we have to live together– black and white, Easterner and Westerner, Gentile and Jew, Catholic and Protestant, Muslim and Hindu– a family unduly separated in ideas, culture and interest, who, because we can never again live apart, must learn somehow to live with each other in peace.”

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”

“If you can’t be a sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.”

“I still believe that standing up for the truth of God is the greatest thing in the world. This is the end (purpose) of life. The end of life is not to be happy. The end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. The end of life is to do the will of God, come what may.”

According to conventional wisdom, any goal is achievable if you work hard. Alas, personal adversity sometimes squashes that promise.  

In such cases, all the benefits are through the journey, not the desired goal. Personal adversity frequently stems from things that you can’t control in life. 

Hang in there if you’re enduring extraordinary trials in life. On a spiritual level, your soul may be rejoicing at your resiliency.  

Below we list famous quotes related to personal adversity. 

“We don’t develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.” Barbara De Angelis 

“If you are lucky enough to never experience any sort of adversity, we won’t know how resilient you are. It’s only when you’re faced with obstacles, stress, and other environmental threats that resilience, or the lack of it, emerges: Do you succumb or do you surmount?” Maria Konnikova 

“Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are.” Arthur Golden 

“Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.” Horace 

“Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” William Shakespeare 

“In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.” Robert Collier 

“Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” Horace 

“Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with.” Thomas Carlyle 

“Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I’ll show you someone who has overcome adversity.” Lou Holtz 

“You’ll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.” Golda Meir 

“You show me anybody that’s great in anything they do, I’ll show you somebody that’s persevered, demonstrated that mental toughness to overcome some obstacles and adversity.” Sean McVay 

“There is no education like adversity.” Benjamin Disraeli 

“Adversity, and perseverance and all these things can shape you. They can give you a value and a self-esteem that is priceless.” Scott Hamilton 

“Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes.” Francis Bacon 

“Everybody has adversity in their lives and we all have to find ways of overcoming them. You’ve got to soldier on, make the best of it, look for the positive in everything.” Judith Durham 

“Three hundred years ago a prisoner condemned to the Tower of London carved on the wall of his cell this sentiment to keep up his spirits during his long imprisonment: ‘It is not adversity that kills, but the impatience with which we bear adversity.” James Keller 

“He who does not tire, tires adversity.” Martin Farquhar Tupper 

“Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.” Og Mandino

“Prosperity is no just scale; adversity is the only balance to weigh friends.” Plutarch 

“In prosperity, our friends know us; in adversity, we know our friends.”  John Churton Collins 

“Adversity leads us to think properly of our state, and so is most beneficial to us.” Samuel Johnson

Gautama Buddha lived in ancient India 5th to 4th century BCE and is regarded as the founder of Buddhism. He was an enlightened soul (that phrase is overused, but he really was) who reintroduced a path to let go of the attachment to suffering. He taught a middle ground between over-indulgence and the excessive strictness of other spiritual practices, as well as meditative practices and mindfulness. He was referred to as Buddha, which means “Awakened One” starting two centuries after his death. Below we share some of his wise statements on gratitude and joy.

“Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men never appreciate kindness shown them, but wise men appreciate and are grateful. Wise men try to express their appreciation and gratitude by some return of kindness, not only to their benefactor, but to everyone else.” Gautama Buddha

“Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself [by the way you think about the ‘pain’ you receive]. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. [You can always be grateful that the pain is not worse in quality, quantity, frequency, duration, etc].” Gautama Buddha

“A noble person is mindful and thankful for the favors he receives from others.” Gautama Buddha

“Reverence, humility, contentment, gratitude and hearing the good Dhamma, this is the best good luck.” Gautama Buddha

“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little.” Gautama Buddha

“You have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy.” Gautama Buddha

“The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness by what it chooses to compare the experience with. If it chooses to compare it to something worse then it will create happiness, gratitude and pride but if it chooses to compare it to something better then it will create unhappiness, bitterness and envy.” Gautama Buddha

“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. It can be argued that peace and happiness comes from the subjective internalised perspective of realizing things could be worse and being grateful they aren’t. The alternative view that peace and happiness comes from the objective external perspective of having more and better things than at present, while important for growth, can be a never-ending source of jealousy, dissatisfaction and disappointment. A balance of the two, where people are grateful for what they have while striving for more seems the best blended perspective.” Gautama Buddha

“When you realize how perfect [or at least better than it could be] everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.” Gautama Buddha

“One who possesses four qualities is deposited in heaven as if brought there. What four? Bodily good conduct, verbal good conduct, mental good conduct, and gratitude or thankfulness. One possessing these four qualities is deposited in heaven as if brought there.” Gautama Buddha

“Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy.” Gautama Buddha

“There is no fire like greed, No crime like hatred, No sorrow like separation, No sickness like hunger of heart, And no joy like the joy of freedom. Health, contentment and trust Are your greatest possessions, And freedom your greatest joy. Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, Know the sweet joy of living in the way.” Gautama Buddha

“Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.” Gautama Buddha

“The gift of the Truth beats all other gifts. The flavour of the Truth beats all other tastes. The joy of the Truth beats all other joys, and the cessation of desire conquers all suffering.” Gautama Buddha

“Live in Joy, In love, Even among those who hate. Live in joy, In health, Even among the afflicted. Live in joy, In peace, Even among the troubled. Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, Know the sweet joy of living in the way.” Gautama Buddha

“Be quick to do good. If you are slow, The mind, delighting in mischief, Will catch you. Turn away from mischief. Again and again, turn away. Before sorrow befalls you. Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, And you will be filled with joy. A fool is happy Until his mischief turns against him. And a good man may suffer Until his goodness flowers. Do not make light of your failings, Saying, ‘What are they to me?’ A jug fills drop by drop.” Gautama Buddha

“Seeker, empty the boat, lighten the load, be free of craving and judgment and hatred, and feel the joy of the way.” Gautama Buddha

“Whatever suffering there is in this world, all arises from desiring only myself to be happy. And whatever joy there is in this world, all arises from desiring to share my happiness with everyone.” Gautama Buddha

Gratitude is one of the most powerful spiritual tools that you can use to enhance your state of mind and life, and cope with challenging circumstances.

In accepting that which you can’t change, and expressing gratitude for what it is teaching you, life’s problems become easier to tolerate.

You can express gratitude for a limitless number of things, including the positive aspects of your financial situation, home, family, health, physical body, being single or being in a relationship, and much more.

Below we list quotes that highlight the importance and power of gratitude.

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.” Marcus Tullius Cicero

“What I’ve learned is there’s a scientifically proven phenomenon that’s attached to gratitude, and that if you consciously take note of what is good in your life, quantifiable benefits happen.” Deborah Norville

“The common meaning of gratitude is to be thankful for benefits received. While this is important, I feel that the energy of gratitude is one of the most powerful attracting forces in the universe. A heart filled with Thanksgiving, even when appearances tell us that we are mired in scarcity, conflict, and affliction, moves us to a higher frequency in consciousness and we soon witness reality shining through the illusion.” John Randolph Price

“Gratitude is like a magnet; the more grateful you are, the more you will receive to be grateful for.” Iyanla Vanzant

“Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one’s voice.” Joseph B. Wirthlin

“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” Melody Beattie

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.” Denis Waitley

“Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.” Lionel Hampton

“Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty.” Doris Day

“Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors.” Francois de La Rochefoucauld

“Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“Gratitude to gratitude always gives birth.” Sophocles

“It’s wonderful to be grateful. To have that gratitude well out from deep within you and pour out in waves. Once you truly experience this, you will never want to give it up.” Srikumar Rao

“Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” Meister Eckhart

“Gratitude goes beyond the ‘mine’ and ‘thine’ and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy.” Henri Nouwen

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.” John Milton
