NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 1413

 

• ·       Light the path where shadows linger longest. —Brooke

  ·       The most important point is — and remains — not to take oneself seriously. There is no past, and, certainly, no future. There are but a few years — ten at the most. You pass your days as best you can, doing as little harm as possible. Let the desires be few and treat expectations as weeds. You read, scribble as the spirit moves you, hear some new music, see every week the few people you are attached to. Again: guard yourself, above all, against self-dramatization, a feeling of importance, and the sprouting of expectations. - Eric Hoffer

  ·       Life gives challenges; challenges often bring strength; and strength will enable us to survive. - Kien Lam

  ·       “What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.”
  ― Eckhart Tolle

  ·       “The authority of truth is the very spirit that indwells its living manifestations, and not the dead words of the less illuminated and supposedly inspired men of another generation.” - Jesus

  ·       It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things. - Theodore Roosevelt

  ·       “When in temporary exile on Patmos, John wrote the Book of Revelation, which you now have in greatly abridged and distorted form. This Book of Revelation contains the surviving fragments of a great revelation, large portions of which were lost, other portions of which were removed, subsequent to John’s writing. It is preserved in only fragmentary and adulterated form.”

  ·       Every failure is a gift. Every pain is an opportunity. - Maxime Lagacé
