Lost Treasures

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or treasures:

    Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store,
    Though foolishly he lost the same,
    Decaying more and more,
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    The self ... might be regarded as a sort of citadel of the mind, fortified without and containing selected treasures within, while love is an undivided share in the rest of the universe. In a healthy mind each contributes to the growth of the other: what we love intensely or for a long time we are likely to bring within the citadel, and to assert as part of ourself. On the other hand, it is only on the basis of a substantial self that a person is capable of progressive sympathy or love.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
