Quotes and Aphorisms 21.06.2017

As the poet absolutely correctly put it, "we did not teach dialectics according to Hegel." So school years the Soviet generation remembered the lines of another mentor, Nikolai Ostrovsky, who insisted: life must be lived in such a way "so that it would not be excruciatingly painful ..." The textbook phrase ended with a call to give all one's strength to "the struggle for the liberation of mankind."

Decades have passed, and many of us remained grateful to Nikolai Ostrovsky for his personal example of perseverance and for his peculiar aphorisms and quotes about life with meaning. It's not even that they corresponded to that heroic era. No, similar thoughts sounded in the statements of philosophers, historical figures ancient world, and at other times. He just set the highest bar, which is far from achievable for everyone.

However, another thinker at about the same period advised: "Take it higher, the current will carry you anyway." So figuratively, Nicholas Roerich explained that there must be high goals, and then life, Environment will definitely make adjustments. Aphorisms about the life of this great scientist and cultural figure should be studied separately and in detail.

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

Great about work, creativity, other high meanings

We spend at least a third of our working life on work. In reality, most of us are engaged in affairs for much more time than is delineated by the official daily routine. It is no coincidence that aphorisms and quotes about life with the meaning of great people and the statements of our contemporaries are often based precisely on this side of our being.

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