Famous quotes with Future state

• A few of the sublimest geniuses of Rome and Athens had some faint discoveries of the spiritual nature of the human soul, and formed some probable conjectures, that man was designed for a future state of existence.

  David Brainerd
• In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.

  Blaise Pascal
• We wouldn't attempt to meditate, or engage in any other contemplative practice, if we didn't feel that something about our experience needed to be improved. But here lies one of the central paradoxes of spiritual life, because this very feeling of dissatisfaction causes us to overlook the intrinsic freedom of consciousness in the present. As we have seen, there are good reasons to believe that adopting a practice like meditation can lead to positive changes in one's life. But the deepest goal of spirituality is freedom from the illusion of the self—and to such freedom, as though it were a future state to be attained through effort, is to reinforce the chains of one's apparent bondage in each moment.

  Sam Harris
• It is so horrible, I dare at times imagine to my need Some future state revealed to us by Zeus

  Robert Browning
• The Hâjî regrets the excessive importance attached to a possible future state: he looks upon this as a psychical stimulant, a day dream, whose revulsion and reaction disorder waking life.But he is too wise to affirm or to deny the existence of another world. For life beyond the grave there is no consensus of mankind…With him suspension of judgment is a system.

  Richard Francis Burton
