Beautiful words by great and famous people that illuminate life (1–10)
Only the weak are unable to forgive; forgiveness is a sign of strength.NEW!Gandhi
Gandhi, who achieved India’s independence through nonviolence and civil disobedience.
This famous quote of his teaches us what true strength in a person really is.
Forgiving someone is not easy.
Especially when the other person is at fault, we tend to attack or hurl insults out of hatred.
Yet even in such situations, there are people who can put themselves in the other person’s shoes and choose to forgive.
They surely possess a broad and gentle heart, as well as the strength to believe in others.
Let’s strive to always keep a compassionate heart.
I believe that the true turning point for growth is whether you can keep moving forward step by step—without anxiety, without fear, and without hesitation—especially when you’re not seeing results.NEW!Yoshiharu Habu
These are words from the shogi player Yoshiharu Habu.
It’s frustrating when you’re working hard but not seeing results, isn’t it? You start to feel like you’re in the dark and lose sight of what to do.
But it’s precisely at times like these that you should keep steadily building your efforts, one step at a time.
Rushing ahead blindly out of impatience won’t lead to good outcomes.
Stay calm and keep moving forward, even little by little, along the path you believe in.
That very experience and strength will help you grow yet another step.
Your happiness in life depends on the quality of your thoughts.NEW!Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, one of the Five Good Emperors and the 16th Roman emperor.
He is also known for leaving behind his work Meditations, and can be regarded as a model of a philosopher-king who preferred learning over war.
He was also a thinker within Stoic philosophy.
The happiness of life changes according to the quality of one’s own thoughts.
Controlling the mind and emotions through thought also affects how we ultimately interpret things.
In other words, a single way of thinking can make you happy—or unhappy.
People deserve praise or blame solely based on whether they have the perseverance to see things through.NEW!Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci, a master artist of the Renaissance known for The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa.
From this quote he left behind, we can sense the importance of perseverance.
The ability to carry through without abandoning what you have decided to do is essential for success.
By continuing to make efforts without giving up until the end, people earn praise and etch their names into history.
Leonardo da Vinci is known as a remarkably versatile figure, even called a “universal genius.” Perhaps it was precisely because he possessed this power of perseverance.
No success for those without dreams.NEW!Yoshida Shōin
Yoshida Shoin was a samurai of the Edo period and also an educator.
He founded the Shoka Sonjuku and is known for having mentored figures such as Ito Hirobumi and Takasugi Shinsaku.
His saying “Those without dreams cannot succeed” is actually part of a longer passage: “Those without dreams have no ideals; those without ideals have no plans; those without plans have no execution; those without execution have no success.
Therefore, those without dreams have no success.” These words teach us that to achieve our goals, we must first set them and then carry out the plans to accomplish them.
As you stretch yourself to broaden your horizons, it’s possible you’ll actually grow taller. That’s part of what makes life interesting.NEW!Saburō Shiroyama
This quote left by the novelist Saburō Jōyama teaches us the importance of taking on challenges.
Don’t you sometimes find yourself thinking with a narrow perspective? It’s easy to let yourself be carried along without broadening your view or attempting anything new.
But if you widen your perspective just a little, you may realize that what you face is easier to overcome than you thought.
When you stretch yourself to take on a challenge, you begin to see a different landscape—as if you’ve actually grown taller.
When you want to take that first step, remember these words.
That’s fine—people should live their own way.NEW!Tarō Asō
@animationmeigen [Taro Aso] Do what you love rather than going to school and studying.Translation#Animation Quotes Collection
♪ Original song – Animated Quotes Collection – Animated Quotes Collection
It gently untangles the hearts of modern people who tend to be swayed by others’ values.
Everyone has their own environment and experiences, so it’s only natural that our ways of life differ.
There’s no meaning in judging someone’s choices as right or wrong; what matters most is whether that person is convinced and walking their own path.
If you keep conforming to the voices around you, you can lose sight of your own life.
Respecting others also leads to affirming your own way of living.
It’s a quote characteristic of Taro Aso, a longtime politician, showing the breadth to embrace diversity.
