These Things Will Destroy Us

"These things will destroy human race:
politics without principle,
progress without compassion,
wealth without work, 
learning without silence,
religion without fearlessness, 
and worship without awareness."- Anthony de Mello

Nothing happens by accident.
Whatever you want, you can get it.
But to get it, you must work for it.



This Is What Wisdom Means

"This is what wisdom means:
To be changed without 
the slightest effort on your part,
to be transformed, believe it or not, 
merely by waking to the reality 
that is not words, that lies 
beyond the reach of words....

Wisdom comes to those who
learn nothing, unlearn everything."-
Anthony de Mello, theologian

You unlearn to learn.
If you want to learn, 
you must first forget
about what you think
you already know.
