A Quote by Luther Burbank

Children are the greatest sufferers from outgrown theologies. — © Luther Burbank
Children are the greatest sufferers from outgrown theologies.
The greatest and most important problems of life cannot be solved. They can only be outgrown.
The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.
The greatest poem ever known Is one all poets have outgrown: The poetry, innate, untold, Of being only four years old.
On the new Earth, as the awakened consciousness comes in, I would say the ego would develop in children and quickly become outgrown when they reach adulthood.
It is the spectators, the people who are outside, looking at the tragedy, from whose ranks the skeptics come; it is not those who are actually in the arena and who know suffering from the inside. Indeed, the fact is that it is the world's greatest sufferers who have produced the most shining examples of unconquerable faith.
The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest worth is self-mastery. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. The greatest precept is continual awareness. The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways. The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.
Elie Wiesel says that the greatest evil in the world is not anger or hatred, but indifference. If that is true, then the opposite is also true: that the greatest love we can show our children is the attention we pay them, the time we take for them. Maybe we serve children the best simply by noticing them.
Apart from my children, spending time with refugees was the greatest gift... the greatest life lesson I could ever receive.
The greatest nation in the world should not have much to fear from a family, especially children, fleeing violence. More importantly, children fleeing violence ought to have nothing to fear from the greatest country in the world.
My children are my greatest gifts and my greatest inspirations.
My greatest wish for my children is that they fulfill their purpose. I know that all children - and, in particular, mine - are here for a reason.
The greatest love I believe... the greatest love I have is for my children, but I think the greatest love probably universally is a mother's love for a child.
The greatest responsibility is your children. If my children turned out badly, I'd feel that nothing I had done was worthwhile.
Here and there it happened in my practice that a patient grew beyond himself because of unknown potentialities, and this became an experience of prime importance to me. I had learned in the meanwhile that the greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble. They must be so because they express the necessary polarity inherent in every self-regulating system. They can never be solved, but only outgrown.
Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.
The Roman Catholic Church isn't going to change its theologies.
