When understanding would be too difficult, I become trusting.
Cooley, Mason | Understanding
What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do and crosswise to our purposes? For love to bridge these opposites through joy it must not eliminate or deny them.?Even self-love presupposes an irreconcilable duality (or multiplicity) in a single person.
Nietzsche, Frederick | Understanding
Understanding the spirit of our institutions to aim at the elevation of man, I am opposed to whatever tends to degrade them.
Lincoln, Abraham | Understanding
Understanding replaces imaginary fears with real ones.
Cooley, Mason | Understanding
Understanding is the wages of faith.
St. Augustine | Understanding
Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a comprehensible darkness.

Russell, Bertrand | Understanding
The peace of God, which passeth all understanding. (Philippians, 4:7)
Bible | Understanding
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.
King Jr., Martin Luther | Understanding
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.
King Jr., Martin Luther | Understanding
Reasoning is compared to understanding as movement is to rest, or acquisition to possession.... Since movement always proceeds from something immovable, and ends in something at rest, hence it is that human reasoning, in the order of inquiry and discovery, proceeds from certain things absolutely understood?namely, the first principles; and, again, in the order of judgment, returns by analysis to first principles, in the light of which it examines what it has found. Now it is clear that rest and movement are not to be referred to different powers, but to one and the same.
Aquinas, Thomas | Understanding
People whose understanding and taste in literature, painting, and music are beyond question are, for the most part, ignorant of what is good or bad art in the theater.
Fiske, Minnie Maddern | Understanding
People of little understanding are most apt to be angry when their sense is called into question.
Richardson, Samuel | Understanding
One man is equivalent to all Creation. One man is a World in miniature.
Nathan, George Jean | Understanding
Marriage always demands the greatest understanding of the art of insincerity possible between two human beings.
Baum, Vicki | Understanding
Know thou the self (spirit) as riding in a chariot, The body as the chariot. Know thou the intellect as the chariot-driver, And the mind as the reins. The senses, they say, are the horses; The objects of sense, what they range over. The self combined with senses and mind Wise men call "the enjoyer."
Upanishads | Understanding
It is the duty of the human understanding to understand that there are things which it cannot understand, and what those things are. Human understanding has vulgarly occupied itself with nothing but understanding, but if it would only take the trouble to understand itself at the same time it would simply have to posit the paradox.
Kierkegaard, Soren | Understanding
In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.
Dioum, Baba | Understanding
I know what love is. It?s understanding. It?s you and me and let the rest of the world go by. Just the two of us living our lives together happily and proudly. No self-torture and no doubt. It?s enduring and it?s everlasting. Nothing can change it. Nothing can change us, Ollie. That?s what I think love is.
Bodeen, Dewitt | Understanding
Here is the beginning of understanding: most parents are doing their best, and most children are doing their best, and they?re doing pretty well, all things considered.
Louv, Richard | Understanding
Hearing, seeing and understanding each other, humanity from one end of the earth to the other now lives simultaneously, omnipresent like a god thanks to its own creative ability. And, thanks to its victory over space and time, it would now be splendidly united for all time, if it were not confused again and again by that fatal delusion which causes humankind to keep on destroying this grandiose unity and to destroy itself with the same resources which gave it power over the elements.
Zweig, Stefan | Understanding
Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern between good and evil; for who can govern this your great people? (Hebrew, 1 Kings 3:9)
Bible | Understanding
Every path to a new understanding begins in confusion.
Cooley, Mason | Understanding
Come hither, and I shall light a candle of understanding in thine heart, which shall not be put out. (2 Esdras, 14:25)
Apocrypha | Understanding
