Motivational Swirls Quotes

May these quotes about Swirls inspire and motivate you.

The River of Life flows without emotion.
The River surges. The River quiets.
The River overflows its banks. The River dries to a trickle.
The River swirls and storms. The River becomes calm.
The River runs clear. The River runs dark with silt.
The River is indifferent to what benefit
or what harm is caused by its water.
The River is the River, and that is all there is to it.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

and others in the achievements of art and literature;
a few seek it in the exploration of their own minds,
or in search for knowledge.

A proverb is much matter distilled into few words.
- R. Buckminster Fuller

Life repeats itself mindlessly -
unless you become mindful, it will go on repeating like a wheel.
That's why Buddhists call it the wheel of life and death,
the wheel of time.
It moves like a wheel: birth is followed by death,
death is followed by birth;
love is followed by hate, hate is followed by love;
success is followed by failure,
failure is followed by success. Just see!
If you can watch just for a few days,
you will see a pattern emerging, a wheel pattern.
One day, a fine morning, you are feeling so good and so happy,
and another day you are so dull,
so dead that you start thinking of committing suicide.
And just the other day you were so full of life,
so blissful that you were feeling thankful to God,
that you were in a mood of deep gratefulness,
and today there is great complaint
and you don't see the point why one should go on living...
And it goes on and on, but you don't see the pattern.
Once you see the pattern, you can get out of it.
- Osho

Those who simplify the universe
only reduce the expansion of its meaning.

Just a few moments of pausing allows me
to consider a circumstance and take stock

My actions are my own and I am, singularly,
responsible for what I see, say, feel and exert.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

Working at a job you hate is unlikely
to bring you either happiness or success.

And, whether wealth follows or not, you will be happy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.

If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.
