The theologians have recognized that the ideal is the imitation of God. If we be a part of such an organic thing, this thing is God to us, as I am God to the cells that compose me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
I'm an idealist.
True idealists are rare; they are the dedicated workers, who would, if need be, die at the stake.
If you didn't have some sense of idealism, then what is there to sustain you?
When we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character.
Ideals are not something I can control. It's not logic that convinces me of something, it's what my heart says. My heart has a way of involving me in things, which can only be good for the music.
What we need most, is not so much to realize the ideal as to idealize the real.
Ideals are the world's masters.
We know the ideal isn't where the action is.
All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.
