[Quote No.43032] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The truth will set you free. But first, it will [probably] piss you off. [The truth is rarely all positive, but knowing how things really are helps us make better informed choices and more realistic plans that therefore work out successfully more often. That is why it is worth the effort to find the truth even if it may be more challenging than we'd like at first.]" - Gloria Steinem

[Quote No.43106] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires - desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. [Therefore for the real Truth-seeker, it is vital to maintain a disciplined skepticism regardless of their desires and subject all things to intense doubting scrutiny and the need for sufficient evidence before accepting them as true and then using them, for example, in helping make informed choices.]" - Bertrand Russell
British philosopher and mathematician.

[Quote No.43107] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Be skeptical if you wish to know the truth:] Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true." - Buddha

[Quote No.43125] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true. [So if you really seek the truth rather than just justification for opinions you like, be skeptical and search for contradicting evidence and opinion rather than just that which confirms and supports. In fact it is helpful to even run a debate, where you take the side against the thing you 'want' to believe in, to see the merits of the other side.]" - Demosthenes

[Quote No.43138] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Does the following make sense?
'It's hard to be happy if we don't achieve what we want.
It's hard to achieve what we want if we don't act.
It's hard to act if we don't plan.
It's hard to plan if we don't dream.
It's hard to dream if we don't learn.
It's hard to learn if we don't read.'
Now that's all well and good, you may be thinking, but few of us have much time to read and then what should we read 'that will help'? That's the reason we think getting daily a few helpful and inspirational quotes, that are quick and easy to read, from knowledgeable and successful humans throughout history about the key need areas in our lives, as provided by the imagi-natives.com 'quote newsletter', over time can make a big difference to the atmosphere in our lives and the attitudes, skills and knowledge we use in our 'life, liberty and pursuit of happiness'. Why not give it a try for a couple of weeks? What have you got to lose?" - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

[Quote No.43143] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"All our [intellectual] progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason [clearly in the beginning]. It is vain to hurry it. By trusting it to the end, it shall ripen into truth and you shall know why you believe." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1803 – 1882), American essayist, lecturer and poet.
