William Robertson Smith Zitate

Thus a man was born into a fixed relation to certain gods as surely as he was born into a relation to his fellow-men; and his religion... was simply one side of the general scheme of conduct prescribed for him by his position as a member of society.

William Robertson Smith

Deutsche Übersetzung

So wurde ein Mann in einer festen Beziehung zu bestimmten Göttern geboren, genauso wie er in einer Beziehung zu seinen Mitmenschen geboren wurde; und seine Religion ... war einfach eine Seite des allgemeinen Verhaltensplans, den ihm seine Position als Mitglied der Gesellschaft vorschrieb.

Englisches Zitat von Lewis Howes als Bild

For me, managing my energy means slowing myself down before the big event. I slow down the racing thoughts in my mind. I concentrate on and slow down my breathing. I listen to and steady my heart rate.

Lewis Howes
