علاقه "میکل آنژ" به زندگی پس از مرگ، بر روی محتوای دومین نقاشی اش برای 'کلیسای سیستین' تاثیر گذاشت.

وقتی "میکل آنژ" فقط ۱۵ سال داشت، اثر هنری اش، "لورنزو باعظمت" را چنان تحت تأثیر قرار داد که حاکم، مکانی را به این هنرمند جوان اهدا کرد تا در کاخ او اقامت گزیند.

"اما فراموش نکنید که دانش و مهارت ها به تنهایی نمیتواند بشریت را به سوی یک زندگی با عزت و شاد سوق دهد. بشریت هر دلیلی دارد تا که مبلغان معیاری های اخلاقی و ارزشهای والا را بالاتر از کاشفان حقیقت عینی قرار دهد. " ـ دکتر آلبرت انیشتن

"استن لی"، اسطوره محبوب شرکت "مارول کُمیکز" که به احیای صنعت کتابهای طنز کمک کرد، یکبار گفت، "دیر یا زود، اگر اصلا بشر شایسته سرنوشت اش باشد، ما باید قلبهایمان را مملو از بردباری کنیم."

نتیجه این بوده است که من یونیسف را برای تمام عمرم می شناسم، و تحسینش کردم و به آنها برای همیشه اعتماد کردم. و آن برای من یک اتفاق شگفت انگیز است که به من اجازه می دهند که این کار را انجام دهم.

"آودری هیپبورن"، رقصنده و مدل افسانه ای هالیوود، همچنین زنی شجاع و کامل بود، صدایی بی باک برای کودکان نیازمند در سراسر دنیا.

در دنیای کامل، البته فیل هیچگونه دشمنی ندارد. اما این دنیا بسیار ناکامل، و تجاوزگر است، فکر نمی کنم بدتر هم بوده باشد. کاری که ما انجام میدهیم این است که به بعضی از فیلهای فرصتی دیگر برای زندگی اختصاص می دهیم، امیدواریم وقتی دنیا جای بهتری برای فیلها گشت، هنوز هم برخی از آنها باقی مانده باشند.

William Butler Yeats continued his discovery of mysticism with lengthy experiments with the help of his wife, who shared his interest in spirituality. She introduced him to automatic writing, in which one lets go of their own conscious intent and writes by channeling their subconsciousness or the spiritual realm. With her assistance, William wrote "A Vision," first published privately in 1925, about occultism and historical cycles. William Butler Yeats concluded that within each 2,000-year era, a civilization could achieve special excellence at the midpoints of the 1,000-year halves.

William Butler Yeats, also known simply as W. B. Yeats, was born June 13, 1865, in Sandymount of County Dublin, Ireland. Considered one of the greatest poets of the 20th century, his eloquent verses reflect a love of Ireland and mysticism, and earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature. “Though leaves are many, the root is one; Through all the lying days of my youth I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun; Now I may wither into the truth.”

In the cold Northern Russian winter of 1881, Anna Pavlova was born. Upon graduating in 1899, at age 18, Anna entered the Imperial Ballet, known today as the Ballet Company of the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, one of the most famous ballet companies in the world! Her wonderful charisma and the moving emotions conveyed through dance live on in the memories of all who saw her perform, in the choreographies she arranged or inspired, and in the notes of the eternal “Swan Lake.” For little Anna, the thin child of Theatre Street, the task she set out to achieve, though huge, was realized through the power of her strong determination.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Models of Success, featuring Constantin Brâncuşi, an extraordinary sculptor from Romania. Constantin Brâncuşi, widely known simply as Brâncuşi, was born in 1876 in the beautiful region of Oltenia, Romania. We spoke to Dr. Sanda Miller, Senior Lecturer in Media and Visual Arts at Southampton Solent University in the United Kingdom and the author of "Constantin Brâncuşi, A Survey of His Work," who told us more about the life and works of this renowned artist.

We are worked together ever since we were a team of six people. On the farm where I was born, we helped each other out with everything. We have kept that spirit alive and made “tillsammans” a key concept: to consider and care for each other, to put people first. To make everyone feel how important they are. Like the girls and boys who wash our dishes. We would not last an hour without clean plates. So I am telling you all that you need to feel that you are important.

I walk prayerfully and as an opportunity to talk with many people and perhaps inspire them to do something for peace also in their own way. “No one walks so safely as one who walks with great love and great faith. Such a person gets through to the good in others and cannot be harmed. This walks between individuals. This walks between groups, and it would work between nations, if nations had the courage to try it.” Walking an average of 25 miles a day, Peace kept up the same pace at 72 years old as she did in her earlier years. Peace Pilgrim left behind a legacy of love, compassion, and most importantly her message of peace.

In 1953, Peace Pilgrim began her pilgrimage, to walk in the name of nonviolence. She never asked anyone for any food and always refused money. She had no organizational backing. Years later, when she finally reached the 25,000 miles, Peace Pilgrim visited the United Nations and the US White House. She was elated to drop off the tens of thousands of signatures asking for concord. But this was not the end. Peace Pilgrim illustrate the passage of inner growth: You come to the point where you rise high enough in consciousness to look at the entire universe through the eyes of the Higher Nature.

Through life, we are fortunate to encounter admirable souls who inspire others simply with their saint-like qualities. One such individual was Peace Pilgrim, who became a proselytizer for non-violence in an era that did not subscribe to her views. Walking on foot across the United States seven times over a span of 28 years, she endeavored to encourage others to pursue their own inner peace. She knew that by creating a grassroots passive movement, the country could collectively shift towards peaceful living. She knew that people were inherently good, and needed someone to awaken them to their own higher peaceful nature.
