Quotes that I like

I couldn't think of a more creative name for this thread so I kept it simple. I love coming across quotes that make me feel good or make me think about a situation in a different light. I have a "little book of confidence" that I used to carry in my handbag for when i needed it and I have a few other little books with quotes that I reflect on now and then

I thought it would be good to share some and encourage others to do the same.

For starters I have:

If you want to know someone's mind, listen to their words. If you want to know their heart, watch their actions.

People are not addicted to alcohol or drugs, they are addicted to escaping reality.

Hey.

"Oppression is no excuse for vengeance -- for murder. I wonder... does the death of innocent people -- cut down on the streets as they flee -- free you? I think not." -- Professor Charles Xavier - TheUncannyXMEN

Behind the cotton wool is hidden a pattern....

The whole world is a work of art.....

There is no Shakespeare,

There is no beethoven;

Certainly and emphatically there is no God;

We are the words;

We are the music;

We are the thing itself.

-Virginia woolf

Sometimes the smallest gestures, smallest compliments or just knowing that someone is thinking about you can be enough to make you smile for the rest of the day

Matthew 6:14-15 NIV

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Hi all;

As a peer supporter, quotes are a good way to uplift and encourage. My favourite quote of all time is from Nelson Mandela;

'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others'

A powerhouse of words indeed. Merry Xmas!
