Where To Find The Purpose Of Humanity Quotes & Sayings

For the world is - allow us the homely figure - the human being turned inside out. All that moves in the mind is symbolized in Nature. Or, to use another more philosophical, and certainly not less poetic figure, the world is a sensuous analysis of humanity, and hence an inexhaustible wardrobe for the clothing of human thought. Take any word expressive of emotion - take the word 'emotion' itself - and you will find that its primary meaning is of the outer world.

we can accomplish.
We want to know what our Mission is. — Richard N. Bolles

We have reason. It is the entire meaning and purpose of Shangri-La. It came to me in a vision long, long ago.
