· "Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we are all in this together." ~ Brené Brown
· "Of all the dangers which beset man's mortal nature and jeopardize his spiritual integrity, pride is the greatest. Courage is valorous, but egotism is vainglorious and suicidal."
· Order your soul. Reduce your wants. - Augustine of Hippo
· "Your only assurance of a personal God consists in your own insight as to your belief in, and experience with, things spiritual."
· The mediocre man consumes. The ordinary man seeks. The great man creates. The superior man does the right thing. - Maxime Lagacé
· “Everything we perceive or remember washes through our unconscious before it is sensed as something we see, hear, feel, or think. Every moment of what we know is shaped by us and marked by our own particular shadow projections.
We are not machines or anything close to it. If we are relaxed and open, then we may be able to be more accurate about ‘the facts,’ but if we are feeling emotionally off—threatened or confused—then our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body all operate in a manner that is defensive and self-protective.
This means taking a step back and remembering that we do not know or see or feel exactly or precisely what is going on with our partner or even what is going on with ourself.”
