Most people are enamored by pithy phrases that sing sweetly, resonate pleasantly in the heart and sport enough sensibility to seduce the intellect. Many do a good job of inspiring kind thoughts, noble actions and enlivened spirits. True, they're not very effective for achieving grand understanding, but most people don't want to or, for whatever reasons, can't commit themselves to the quest to the extent necessary for substantial evolution. As one who's dedicated much of his life to serious personal study and inquiry, my knee jerk reaction is to scoff at the superficial nature of such quippy quotes. But for the vast majority, they're good reminders and motivators, and as close to spiritual exploration as it gets. So I've climbed off of my high horse, kicked my ego to the curb and embraced the genera.
