Siddhartha Gautama Quotes
The quote I chose for Siddhartha Gautama is “A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.” I chose this quote for him because he was born to a mother who was part of the tribal ancestry and a father who was a wealthy king.

The quote showed that he thought that all human beings can experience suffering. Also, he sought out to find something much deeper than materialistic

    1. ” ’But the Director’s old; lots of people are old; they’re not like that.’ ‘That’s because we don’t allow them to be like that. We preserve them from diseases. We keep their internal secretions artificially balanced at a youthful equilibrium...’“ (Huxley 110-111). In this excerpt it can be determined that Lenina is incapable of acknowledging the fact that people can appear physically aged. This is due to the reason that the World State does not allow it to happen through a series of scientific methods, which is meant to benefit the society.…

    Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote

    Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated, "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow." I've read the statement over and over in my head and I can't seem to agree with him because of my literal comprehension of the quote. If you have been able to master something in the first place, don't you have to grow from somewhere to get there? Personally, I have yet to master a particular thing in my hobbies and sports. Yet, I still feel as I am growing in those activities. For example track; I excel in the 100 meter sprint and I've been given a natural gift for it yet I haven't mastered it like Usain Bolt or Tyson Gay. Though I still feel as I am honestly growing as an athlete in the event. I also have a passion for photography…

    Martin Luther King Jr. Quote

    Martin Luther King Jr. once stated that “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” This means that if you want to judge a person, look to see how they act in times of trouble and hardship. Anyone can act calm when they’re doing nothing and everything’s all hunky dory. But only a good person can remain just as calm and positive in times of crisis and stress. “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller and After by Francine Prose can support that this quote is indeed true in all aspects.…
