If You Do Nothing About Climate Change

Posted in Environment, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Action, Climate Change, Environment, Mahatma Gandhi, Philosophy, Power, Quotes on December 20, 2021| Leave a Comment »

It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit. But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.

— Mahatma Gandhi

Questioned By Life

Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Action, Conduct, Man's Search for Meaning, Philosophy, Quotes, Responsibility, The Meaning Of Life, Viktor E. Frankl on May 11, 2021| Leave a Comment »

It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life — daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.

― Viktor E. Frankl
From his book: “Man’s Search for Meaning“
