Pico Iyer on The Art of Stillness

Enlightening Talks

It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.

You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done.

The unfed mind devours itself.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.
