The process of philosophic and scientific enlightenment has shaken the stability of beliefs held explicitly as articles of faith.

By any reasonable measure of achievement the faith of the Enlightenment thinkers in science was justified.

Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.

Many spiritual teachers - in Buddhism in Islam - have talked about first-hand experience of the world as an important part of the path to wisdom to enlightenment.

Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine. It may make you feel like you're flying high at first but it won't take long before you feel the impact.

Every step and every movement of the multitude even in what are termed enlightened ages are made with equal blindness to the future and nations stumble upon establishments which are indeed the result of human action but not the execution of any human design.

To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number to the specialist of an enlightened matter to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.

There is no fundamental difference between the preparation for death and the practice of dying and spiritual practice leading to enlightenment.

And as long as you're subject to birth and death you'll never attain enlightenment.

Borrowing knowledge of reality from all sources taking the best from every study Science of Mind brings together the highest enlightenment of the ages.
