Philosophical Views—Thoughtful Sayings |
|
Updated June 9, 2009
I cannot take credit for the things placed on this page. They are sayings that came into my head. As I get distance from the things I have heard and read in the past, I have difficulty remembering all the details. Some of these may be generally known and I don’t remember that. Some of them may be original (God given). I share them for any value they have and for no other reason.
If a one line saying is good, it has the obvious meaning and information and then it has something more profound as you meditate on it. It is also helpful when a very few words can sum up a very wise thought.
I hope you get some benefit from them. I will add to this page from time to time.
I have added a new audio feature to these pages. Not every saying will have an audio feature and it will take me a while to add the ones I want to add.
