Errors Oneself

More From Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. error is neither mind nor one of mind's faculties. error is the contradiction of truth. error is a belief without understanding. error is unreal because untrue. it is that which stemma to be and is not. if error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. thus we should continue to lose the standard of truth.
Life Pain Mistake
Studying the buddha way is studying oneself. studying oneself is forgetting oneself. forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things. being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others. no trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment continues endlessly.
Self Mind Enlightenment
The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth - that error and truth are simply opposite. they are nothing of the sort. what the world turns to, when it has been cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.
Truth Errors Discovery
When things get bad enough, then something happens to correct the course. and it's for that reason that i speak about evolution as an error-making and an error-correcting process. and if we can be ever so much better - ever so much slightly better - at error correcting than at error making, then we'll make it.
Errors Evolution Speak
What does labor want? we want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures, to make manhood more noble, womanhood more beautiful, and childhood more happy and bright.
Beautiful Revenge Book
To be rich is to give; to give nothing is to be poor; to live is to love; to love nothing is to be dead; to be happy is to devote oneself; to exist only for oneself is to damn oneself, and to exile oneself to hell.
