• Of the delights of this world, man cares most for sexual intercourse, yet he has left it out of his heaven.

  ~ Mark Twain quotes

  Inspirational Quotes on: Mark Twain, Sex, Light, World

• The Work reveals that what you think shouldn’t have happened should have happened. It should happened because it did, and no thinking in the world can change it. This doesn’t mean that you condone it or approve of it. It just means that you can see things without resistance and without the confusion of your inner struggle. No one wants their children to get sick, no one wants to be in a car accident; but when these things happen, how can it be helpful to mentally argue with them? We know better than to do that, yet we do it, because we don’t know how to stop.

  ~ Byron Katie quotes from Loving What Is

• Duty cannot be contrasted with pleasure nor work with play when duty is pleasure, when work is play, and people doing their duty are simultaneously seeking pleasure and being happy.

  ~ Abraham Maslow quotes

• I needed to be backed into a corner in order to get true motivation.

  ~ Donny Deutsch quotes from Often Wrong Never in Doubt
