“If you want a new world, accept the world as it currently is. Until you find acceptance, nothing new can become. All you perpetuate when you resist the now, is the past. Because now, is nothing more than the past in manifested form. By resisting the now, you hold the past as your object of attention. And when you hold the past as your object of attention, the past is all that can come.”

Teal Swan (1984) American spiritual teacher

“I would not care whether truth is pleasant or unpleasant, and in consonance with or opposed to current views. I would not mind in the least whether truth is, or is not, a blow to the glory of my country. If necessary, I shall bear in patience the ridicule and slander of friends and society for the sake of preaching truth. But still I shall seek truth, understand truth, and accept truth. This should be the firm resolve of a historian.”

Jadunath Sarkar (1870–1958) Indian historian
