The world is full of people who have stopped listening to themselves or have listened only to their neighbors to learn what they ought to do, how they ought to behave, and what the values are they should be living for.

Joseph Campbell

They have acted like carnivores who used the world to enrich only themselves, and whether it's the election of Donald Trump, or Brexit, the elites have realized that the people have stopped listening to them, that the people want to determine their futures and, in a perfectly democratic framework, regain control of their destiny.

Marine Le Pen

As much wrong as I did in life and as many people as I hurt, I can say that God never stopped talking to me. I just stopped listening.

Become better listeners. Practice the art of listening in everything you do. Not just listening to yourself and your body, but listening to the people around you, listening to the plant world, the animal world. Really open your ears to what's coming at you. From there, see if you can have the ability to respond instead of react. And that usually comes with listening. If the observation and the listening are deep, then your action will be deep also.

I did some acting in college. But then everything stopped when I was a junior, in the fall of 2001, when I started becoming religious. Once I became a full-on Hasidic, I stopped everything. I stopped music. I stopped acting.

Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart. Even if he says things that are full of wrong perceptions, full of bitterness, you are still capable of continuing to listen with compassion. Because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less.

Nhat Hanh

There are people who, instead of listening to what is being said to them, are already listening to what they are going to say themselves.

Albert Guinon

How people see the world is often a reflection of how they see themselves. If they think that the world is just a cesspool of lies and deceit, then they themselves may be full of lies and deceit. Watch out for those people who are always telling you just how corrupt the rest of the world is. As the saying goes, 'It takes one to know one.'

David J. Lieberman

When you interrupt, you've stopped listening. People need to be heard.

Jerry Seinfeld

I don't want an entire world full of people just drinking Coca-Cola and eating McDonald's hamburgers and listening to American pop records. That would be a lesser world. I hope the cultural diversity is rich and is able to survive the Westernization of their economies.

Robert Wyatt

Every time you think of doing some charity, you think there is some beggar to take your charity. If you say, "O Lord, let the world be full of charitable people!" - you mean, let the world be full of beggars also. Let the world be full of good works - let the world be full of misery. This is out-and-out slavishness!

Swami Vivekananda

Generally, people who are not self-realized are full of themselves. One who is self-realized sees that the whole world is full of one.

Jaggi Vasudev

I'm listening to a lot of John Mayer again. I stopped listening to emotional music because I was in a really emotional place in my life.

Camila Cabello

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts.

James P. Hogan

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

Bertrand Russell

I think that, you know, Russia is full of themselves. They've always been full of themselves. But that's - it's more of a facade that they try and show as opposed to anything else.

Nikki Haley
