Well know Quotes

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

                                    St. Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians

God doesn't teach us to trust, rather, he teaches us that he is reliable. Diana Sinclair

(I hate the well meaning but misguided belief that God causes our suffering to teach us to trust in him. Rather, I think that as creatures of free will we reap the natural consequences of both living in an imperfect evolutionary world and of our own foolish choices. I like to believe that God is ready and willing, chomping at the bit if you will, to help us if we will only call out to him and willing surrender both the problem and the means of it resolution to him.)

This brings to mind a favorite scripture of mine, Isaiah 49:15: "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!"

Often when I pray I wonder if I am not posting letters to a non- existing adress

C. S. Lewis

Learn to be silent

Let your

Quiet mind

listen and absorb      ( Pythagoras)

Neglecting development and refinement of the mind,and not acquiring the habit of reading and study.  ( Marcus Tullius Cicero)

The greater danger

for most of us

is not that our aim is to high, and we miss it, but that it is too low

and we reach it.  (Michelangelo)  (1475-1564)

When you are inspired by some great purpose some extrondinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; Your mind transcends limitations, your conciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be .

Patanjali (C. First To Third Century B.C.)

That's a great one Rita!!  Glad you liked the book by the way!!

Why always "not yet"?  Do flowers in spring say "not yet"?  ~Norman Douglas

To always be intending to live a new life, but never find time to set about it - this is as if a man should put off eating and drinking from one day to another till he be starved and destroyed.  ~Walter Scott

Thanks Krissy. I enjoyed your Wisdom quotes also.

Here is one from Wayne W, Dyer's book Wisdom Of The Ages

(No one knows enough to be a pessimist.)

Every person's condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries they would put. We act it as life, before we apprenhend it as truth.(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

To be near something beautiful or precious but to be unable to experience it is the subtlest possible form of torture.

---- Robert Johnson.
