Quotes about Indulgence

People fancy they are enjoying themselves,
but they are really tearing out their wings
for the sake of an illusion.

Mevlana Rumi (1207 - 1273)

Quote

We notice that the mind is a restless bird; the more it gets the more it wants, and still remains unsatisfied. The more we indulge our passions the more unbridled they become. Our ancestors, therefore, set a limit to our indulgences. They saw that happiness was largely a mental condition. A man is not necessarily happy because he is rich, or unhappy because he is poor.... Millions will always remain poor.

"Mahatma" Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi : Indian spiritual and political leader, called Mahatma "great soul"
Gandhi (1869 - 1948)

Quote

Be a Flexitarian – try to be flexible when it comes to eating.
Eat healthy, but enjoy the occasional indulgence and meals in the
company of friends without scrutinizing ingredients or feeling guilty.
