“Our greatest strength as a human race is our ability to acknowledge our differences, our greatest weakness is our failure to embrace them.” - Judith Henderson |
“I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.” - Ani Difranco |
"Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields will blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun. Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices no more easily made. And give, give in any way you can, of whatever you posses. To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.” - Kent Nerburn |
To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the making of bread.
~James Arthur Baldwin |
The profoundest of all sensualities is the sense of truth and the next deepest sensual experience is the sense of justice.
~D. H. Lawrence |
“Some people drift along like a cork on a river, feeling that they cannot do anything except drift, moment to moment. This is an attitude of mind. Everyone can be constructive even in tiny ways.” Edward de Bono
|
“Strong men can always afford to be gentle. Only the weak are intent on "giving as good as they get." Elbert Hubbard”
|
If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price.

"Words are the ambassadors of our intentions. How we say what we say makes a statement about who we are."
~ adapted from Susan Harrow |
Take care the words that escape your lips. All the apologies in the world won't change the impact. (f)
~Duchess |
"In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways."
Edith Wharton |
Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog. ~ Sidney Jeanne Seward
|
Draw a circle - not a heart - around the ones you love, because hearts can break, but circles go on forever. Ending relationships are like band-aids; if you don't pull it off fast it will hurt. |
You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
- Henry Drummond |
“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.” Thomas S. Szasz
|
"Insist on yourself. Never imitate."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson |
Wolves who let themselves get distracted by rabbits have only themselves to blame if they miss their chance at a deer. Mark Stanley

nothing is in vain or without profit to the humble soul: like the bee, it takes its honey from the bitter herbs; it stands always in a state of divine growth, and everything that falls upon it is a dew of Heaven to it. william law |
when humility enters our souls, we are at last able
to perceive that we do not live alone in the world but with millions of brothers and sisters, and that hidden in the heart of each is the same animating spirit. u.s. anderson |
When we perform an act mindfully--be it meditating, vacuuming or playing Scrabble
with a child--we nourish ourselves, as well. Rather than scattering our concentration on a dozen things at once, we focus. We slow down. We give ourselves time to calm down from the inside out and the luxury of saying: Nothing is more important right now than this moment, this deed. We may not get as much done by day's end, but we can feel more peaceful and satisfied with the work itself. That's a good way to think of it: Mindfulness is quality time for the soul. Shana Aborn |
