This past month was a month rich in reading good sources and coming across many fine words worth repeating. Here are a few of my favorites and as always, the full list of 85 new quotes is updated on the Quotes Page, available to the right.
ANGER: If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size? Sydney J. Harris
BUSY: The Chinese pictograph for busy is composed of two characters: heart and killing.
CONSUMERISM: The idea that Christianity and consumerism are completely compatible . . . is the great insanity of our times. Win Butler
DIALOGUE: Crushing truths are lightened by their acknowledgement. Remember again. Remember rightly. Re-vision. David Dark, Sacred of Questioning Everything
DISSATISFACTION, OF SELF: We are never so much disposed to quarrel with others as when we are dissatisfied with ourselves. William Hazlitt
HAPPINESS: If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem. Richard Bach
INSPIRATION: We’re on the prowl for inspiration. We want something extra-authentic, something to shake our nerves and rattle our brains. We need something to keep us from throwing in the towel and losing our minds – something to get us out of bed. Gospel, the news we call good, is always a media issue. David Dark, Sacred of Questioning Everything
PEACE, LACK OF INNER: Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves. William Hazlitt
PRAYER: Act as if everything depended on you, pray as if everything depended on God. Ignatius (And its opposite: Pray as if everything depended on you. Act as if everything depended on God.)
SELF-AWARENESS: If you do not tell the truth about yourself, you cannot tell it about other people. Virginia Woolf
TOOLS: If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. Abraham Maslow
