assumptions

Conventional wisdom won't provide continual growth.

We do not realize how deeply our starting assumptions affect the way we go about looking for and interpreting the data we collect. We should recognize that nonhuman organisms need not meet every new definition of human language, tool use, mind, or consciousness in order to have versions of their own that are worthy of serious study. We have set ourselves too much apart, grasping for definitions that will distinguish man from all other life on the planet. We must rejoin the great stream of life from whence we arose and strive to see within it the seeds of all we are and all we may become.

Everyone assumes writers spend their time lounging around, writing and occasionally striking a pose whilst having a think.

He treats the person as if they were fully whole.We become what others expect us to be. Dad expected me to get better and even assumed I would have something helpful to say. Funny how we rise and fall to the assumptions of others.

Is there wisdom in innocence? I think there is, but there is a cult now of drab men and women, for whom the world, and even life itself, is a kind of commodity. These critics, having eaten, now study their excrement to see what they consumed. On this they base certain conclusions. Their ignorance is uncompromising. Let us rather stand before the unknown, in very humble, quiet observance and wait while it reveals itself.

Assuming what people want is about as controlled as using fireworks to start a fire.

All she captures is a moment and what she calls it is a memory,Sometimes, it is assumptions that we use; all we need is a theory,Because you don__ know what is there in the future,And all you need is a vision to make a perfect picture.I feel that I have known you for a century,And whatever she calls is a memory.

To assume that I can even begin to chart a __traight_ path is probably the best way I can take myself __traight_ to the very place I don__ want to go.

A tornado of thought is unleashed after each new insight. This in turn results in an earthquake of assumptions. These are natural disasters that re-shape the spirit.

Isolation might be more hazardous than splendor.

It will be found that every attack upon religion, or upon characteristic ideas inherited from religion, when its assumptions are laid bare, turns out to be an attack upon mind.

Life is a series of events and sensations. Everything else is interpretation. Much is lost in transition - and added in assumption / projection

Always assume your assumptions about others are wrong. Because often, they are

Just remember: If you make unfounded assumptions before choosing a path, you__e blindly sauntering along.

Drop all those assumptions that success is built on success. Add a very little value to yourself and it will amaze you how you will see people appreciate that value!

You will make a perfectly rational mistake: You will assume that sooner or later the paradigm you are presently practicing (which has been mostly successful) will solve all the rest of your problems.

It's always your assumptions about you, about others, about future that make reality worse than it actually is.

It is not really wise to make too many assumptions when you don__ yet have all the facts to do so. You may believe your conclusions are logical, while they may turn out to be totally wrong.
