Returning Serenity Source

Quote Author

Laozi
Chinese - Philosopher
604 BC - 531 BC

Empty your mind of all thoughts. Let your heart be at peace. Watch the turmoil of beings, but contemplate their return. Each separate being in the universe returns to the common source. Returning to the source is serenity. If you don't realize the source, you stumble in confusion and sorrow. When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, disinterested, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, dignified as a king. Immersed in the wonder of the Tao, you can deal with whatever life brings you, and when death comes, you are ready.

Laozi

Returning to the source is stillness. It is returning to one's fate. Returning to one's fate is eternal.

Laozi

Empty yourself of everything. Let the mind become still. The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return. They grow and flourish and then return to the source. Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.

Laozi

These days it seems that physical truth can easily be rearranged, rethought, or re-created outright. Any image can be made pristine, all the warts can be removed. But returning to the source of a thing - the real source - means the photographer has to watch, dig, listen for voices, sniff the smells, and have many doubts. My life in photography has been lived as a skeptic.

Jerome Liebling

Awareness of the inner body is consciousness remembering its origin and returning to the Source.

Eckhart Tolle

Humanity needs justice, peace and love and we can have this only by returning with our hearts towards God who is the source of all this.

Pope Francis

Politeness induces morality. Serenity of manners requires serenity of mind.

Julia Ward Howe

Living from the perspective at which you came from and returning to source really is an act of remembering, rather than an act of learning.

Wayne Dyer

The only real difference between shooting 'Firefly' and 'Serenity' was that on 'Serenity,' we had a lot more freedom with time. When you're shooting a television show, you usually have anywhere between six and nine pages of script to shoot a day, and only twelve hours to do it. But with 'Serenity,' we could shoot one scene all day long.

Jewel Staite

THE BODY SHOULD be triangular, the mind circular. The triangle represents the generation of energy and is the most stable physical posture. The circle symbolizes serenity and perfection, the source of unlimited techniques. The square stands for solidity, the basis of applied control.

Morihei Ueshiba

Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature. The way of nature is unchanging. Knowing constancy is insight.

Laozi

A slightly modified version of the Serenity Prayer: Lord, grant me the serenity to ignore the assholes I cannot avoid; The luck to avoid the ones I can; And the self-awareness not to be one myself

Kelly Williams Brown

It was he [Vincent] who helped me to accommodate my life in such a way that I can be at peace with myself. Serenity - this was the favorite word of both of them [Vincent and Theo], the something they considered the highest. Serenity - I have found it.
