Knowledge Quote by Daniel P. Reid

“When the mind is clear and calm, the images it reflects are real and the knowledge it gathers is true. When the mind is agitated and confused, it's like throwing a stone into a still pond, or holding a camera with a shaky hand: the images it reflects are distorted and do not accord with reality.” quote by Daniel P.
