What kind of quotes exactly? Famous quotes about certain subjects or quotes about certain events?

You are right, my question was far from being specific ;-)

I meant quotes like the sentences of the Eschatological Laundry List.

E.g.: “We must live with the ambiguity of partial freedom, partial power, and partial knowledge.”

Personally, I think quotes have more effective meaning after a life experience. A certain quote will mean a lot more to you after something profound happens to you. To really understand the true meaning of a quote that has impact, you need to relate to it. Otherwise it’s a string of very wise words that may make you think, but doesn’t really effect you on a daily basis.

Life is a series of experiences, unbroken in a sense; what is profound and what is not, depends upon one’s receptivity and disposition to life in totality and to each instance of experience. So too, meaning and impact depend upon the intensity with and the threshold at which events are taken. Further, tastes and bias do affect how things are taken. My wisdom may be another’s folly.

I believe words are powerful and can impact people. You may be interested in the Power of Words conference.

Just within a few minutes, I went through what was available by a click on ‘Power of Words’. But it depends upon the ‘core values’ as mentioned there. And values caught during communication depend upon the context clearly and deliberately created.

‘What is one’s place in the world?’ is a perspective the courses offered there, as stated, initate. Both the minds ought to have the same resonance to get the identical meaning and feeling. More in L-W-L.

Words are extremely effective in changing our perceptions about things, however, one must consider that its more in the mind to be willing for it. When the words we read match/ refute the state of mind, thats when words are most effective. Body, Mind, Soul and the World – all entities whether different or fragments of the same “universe” – what matters is what in life are we giving those entities. For example: When we wake up each day, we consciously or unconsciously decide how our day is going to be and whats going to happen and we also decide how each of that is going to affect us. However, there is one more school of thought that ascribes to the world that – do what you can and leave the rest to the power that guides the universe.
And every experience that we have had in our lives are generally lessons we learnt – more difficult the experience – dearer the lesson. Perhaps….its all in the mind to understand, and react to all the words around….
