material

I decree and I declare that I am not a raw material but rather a finished product. God knows me and knows the reason for which he created me. I am not here on earth to merely live and depart.

Simple minded people do things like gossip, lie, spread rumors, and cause troubles. But, I know you're more intelligent.

Material and technical changes are mostly quite visible. But less visible are the changes in the mind of the people, their way of thinking, their conception of the world and the quality of their fears. ("Horizon and Vision" )

When we were together before, the world was small to us, but as you grew bigger to life and the world became desirous to living, we became smaller to each other.

Everything has a past, a voice, existed at some point, even things as small and seemingly meaningless as a house in a huge suburb. It__ a house like every other house_ but at some point a family lived there, made it theirs, made it important. When people forget that history, that somebody at some point thought the house mattered, it just becomes an empty pile of nailed wood and brick and concrete that gets torn down for some strip mall or chain store to take its place_ and that__ what happens more and more now, everything is disposable, always replaced with no thought at all. That__ where things get lost, memories get lost, humanity slips through the cracks, because when we all fail to pay attention to the things that make up our lives, we__e no longer human at all, not really.

Money spent, will never out value spent time.

Moral obligations verses Legal obligations. Legally, you must abide by the laws of the land or face the consequences of being fined, imprisoned or both. Moral obligations tend to lean more towards a spiritual nature of a person. Some people perform immoral acts because legally there are no consequences. Morals birth in the heart of the individual. Moral characteristics are developed at an early age and continue into adulthood. It's a disgrace to neglect having good moral character.

Unfortunately, we do not often see the advantages in the power of values and virtues. We are easily taken away by physical wealth, material possessions and the power of money.

I was transformed the dayMy ego shattered,And all the superficial, materialThings that matteredTo me before,Suddenly ceasedTo matter.

Money makes a monster of a man, that makes money his master.

When we break 5M__ of Manufacturing Efficiency - Men, Machine, Materials, Methods & Money to personal level, the first two M__ will spell Minutes & Mind, and rest remain constant!

Funny how money speaks even more loudly than morals in this beautiful, superficial material world.

And then one day you realise that if you want to be rich, you'd have to give away almost everything you own.

True beauty is measured by the number of pearls within you, not those around your neck.

Life and history have repeatedly taught us that values and virtues are far much stronger than the physical wealth we often see. For material wealth emanates from values and virtues.

Leaders don't define wealth by material things they see. They define wealth by the visions they imagine and actions they take.

Listen.Do you see that you can__ hear snowfall?Look.Do you sensethat you can__ see love?Touch.Do you graspthat you can__ catch poems?Try.Smell this glass. Go on taste this cloud.These material senses won__ get you far untilyou feelthe velvet glove caress your soul.

The worst of me is the raw material from which God molds the best of me.
