Words of Wisdom About Reincarnation 

Do you accept the theory of reincarnation? If so, you’re not alone. The concept is commonly associated with Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, but the history is much more widespread than that. It was part of the religions and beliefs of Greece, India, and Egypt. The Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras taught that the soul survived after death of the body. The Greek philosophers Plato and Socrates believed in reincarnation. Other famous people who believed in reincarnation include Leonardo da Vinci, Edgar Allan Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Benjamin Franklin. Below I list some words of wisdom about reincarnation. 

“I believe we are reincarnated. You, I, we reincarnate over and over. We live many lives, and store up much experience. Some are older souls than others and so they know more. It seems to be an intuitive “gift.” It is really hard-won experience.” — Henry Ford 

“The most promising evidence bearing on reincarnation seems to come from the spontaneous cases, especially among children.” — Ian Stevenson 

“In contrast to reincarnation and karma, all other views seem petty and narrow.” — Richard Wagner 

“There’s nothing wrong with you that reincarnation won’t cure.” — Jack E. Leonard 

“It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection.” — Voltaire 

“Reincarnation is not an exclusively Hindu or Buddhist concept, but it is part of the history of human origin. It is proof of the mindstream’s capacity to retain knowledge of physical and mental activities. It is related to the theory of interdependent origination and to the law of cause and effect.” — Dalai Lama 

“Reincarnation is a process of moving from one state of mind to another. Whether you are in a body or out of a body is immaterial.” — Frederick Lenz 

“As the stars looked to me when I was a shepherd in Assyria, they look to me now as a New-Englander.” — Henry David Thoreau 

“I am certain that I have been here as I am now a thousand times before, and I hope to return a thousand times.” — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe  

“I am confident that there truly is such a thing as living again, that the living spring from the dead, and that the souls of the dead are in existence.” — Socrates 

“The soul has neither beginning nor end [They] come into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of their previous lives.” — Origen 

“Souls never die, but always on quitting one abode pass to another. All things change, nothing perishes. The soul passes hither and thither, occupying now this body, now that… As a wax is stamped with certain figures, then melted, then stamped anew with others, yet it is always the same wax. So, the Soul being always the same, yet wears at different times different forms.” — Pythagoras
