Most people live in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole organism should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger.

Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.

What I have come to find over my years of working with people is that most everyone limits and shrinks their dreams to fit their current reality.

Most people are not really free. They are confined by the niche in the world that they carve out for themselves. They limit themselves to fewer possibilities by the narrowness of their vision.

Not all possibilities are open to us. The world is finite; our hopes spill over its rim.

Die meisten Menschen leben in den Ruinen ihrer Gewohnheiten.

I would say for a great percentage of people, all they do is repeat their past. They really don't have a future at all.

But most of us know that we will not, and probably cannot do it — that we shall continue to cling to our habitual ways of life with all the helplessness of addicts to a destroying passion.

I can handle reality in small doses, but as a lifestyle, it's much too confining.

Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.

Most people live in a half-dream all their lives and call it reality.

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
