Quotes About Aware

A person is alive only to the degree that he or she is aware. To make the most of life we must constantly strive to be aware of the importance of being aware.

It can be done in a myriad of ways.

In the entire history of the universe, let alone in your own history, there has never been another day just like today, and there will never be another just like it again.

If you were aware of how precious today is, you could hardly live through it. Unless you are aware of how precious it is, you can hardly be said to be living at all.

I think that Russia is very aware that they are on notice when it comes to certain issues. They are very aware that we do want to try and defeat ISIS together, if that's at all possible, along with our allies. But there's no love or anything going on with Russia right now. They get that we're getting our strength back, that we're getting our voice back, and that we're starting to lead again. And honestly, at the United Nations, that's the number one comment I get is they're just so happy to see the United States lead again.

The great Tao flows everywhere. All things are born from it, yet it doesn't create them. It pours itself into its work, yet it makes no claim. It nourishes infinite worlds, yet it doesn't hold on to them. Since it is merged with all things and hidden in their hearts, it can be called humble.

There is no foreign agency manipulating you in the name of religion, morality, etcetera.
