“It doesn’t mean I have more wisdom than others. But it means I have been occupied by too much arrogance.
I need to learn to be humble and to develop a broader perspective.”

Richard Gombrich (1937) British Indologist

"When I say I'm a Buddhist"[citation needed]

“In short, there can be different perspectives, broader or narrower, dealing with particular aspects of people - the biological, psychodynamic, societal, and so on. These perspectives, however are of limited scope and usefulness, although each serves a purpose. Single perspectives do not present the complete view of human beings and do not tell the whole truth about them. Each perspective abstracts certain aspects of the whole person. Each perspective complements one another without exhausting the totality of knowledge about the full meaning of human existence.”

Thaddus E. Weckowicz (1919–2000) Canadian psychologist

“One of the real benefits of any travel is gaining some perspective. You see things from different points of view.”

Angus King (1944) United States Senator from Maine

Bowdoin Academic Spotlight interview (2011)
Context: One of the real benefits of any travel is gaining some perspective. You see things from different points of view. That came home to me in a variety of ways: politically, economically, seeing what was going on in other states.

“I think one of the hallmarks of a spiritual maturity (or even a human maturity) is the ability to shift perspective. (…) We often use these words that give this… impression, which I think is a false impression ultimately, that there's some ultimate perspective that is the right and correct perspective, as if unity consciousness or something is the correct perspective. But, you know, if I'm a 3-year-old kid and someone's threatening my life, and my mother's next to me, I want her to be in a fierce perspective, right? I don't want her to kinda just go "it's all one, so it really doesn't matter if you're harmed.”

Adyashanti (1962) Spiritual teacher

It does matter. And so... yeah, I think the ability to shift perspective is really vital to our functionality.”
