The clear-sighted do not rule the world, but they sustain and console it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is not the clear-sighted who rule the world. Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed, warm fog.
Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world.
Anyone who believes that it is possible to educate the will without cultivating the insight that enlivens it is succumbing to illusion. Clear-sightedness on this point is a task for present-day pedagogy, but it can come only from a life-filled understanding of the whole human being.
The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision.
Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.
One hardly saves a world without ruling it.
If one can only see things according to one's own belief system, one is destined to become virtually deaf, dumb, and blind.
But if you are going to wear blinders then you do not know the world.
It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it.
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
