A civilization that only looks inward will stagnate. We have to keep looking outward; we have to keep finding new avenues for human endeavor and human expression.
John L. Phillips
A good meditation, even when it is interrupted by occasional nodding, is much more beneficial than many outward religious exercises.
Johannes Tauler
A man is hindered and distracted in proportion as he draws outward things to himself.
Thomas Kempis
A man's felicity consists not in the outward and visible blessing of fortune, but in the inward and unseen perfections and riches of the mind.
Thomas Carlyle
A very intimate sense of the expressiveness of outward things, which ponders, listens, penetrates, where the earlier, less developed consciousness passed lightly by, is an important element in the general temper of our modern poetry.
Walter Pater
All outward forms of religion are almost useless, and are the causes of endless strife. Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest.
Beatrix Potter
An inner process stands in need of outward criteria.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
And yet you see the weakness of external evidence-and outward miracles; they were not sufficient to make true believers, or to make the Israelites believe that Jesus was their promised Messiah.
Elias Hicks
Art can only be truly art by presenting an adequate outward symbol of some fact in the interior life.
Margaret Fuller
As no outward motion or change, when normal, in man's external body can take place unless provoked by an inward impulse, given through one of the three functions named, so with the external or manifested Universe.
H. P. Blavatsky
Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
Edward Gibbon
Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearences.
Soren Kierkegaard
Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.
Jean de La Fontaine
Courage to continue comes from deeper sources than outward results.
Kenneth L. Pike
Enthusiasm - a distemper of youth, curable by small doses of repentance in connection with outward applications of experience.
Ambrose Bierce
Errors of taste are very often the outward sign of a deep fault of sensibility.
Jonathan Miller
Every day I shall put my papers in order and every day I shall say farewell. And the real farewell, when it comes, will only be a small outward confirmation of what has been accomplished within me from day to day.
Etty Hillesum
For a century longer, Rome still retains its outward form, but the swarming nations are now in full career.
John Lothrop Motley
Grace has been defined as the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul.
William Hazlitt
