Famous quotes containing the words meaning of and/or meaning:

    In our definitions, we grope after the spiritual by describing it as invisible. The true meaning of spiritual is real; that law which executes itself, which works without means, and which cannot be conceived as not existing.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one’s will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
    Paul Gauguin (1848–1903)
