Quotes that I like

[CMF]

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.

[1113]

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Jesus Christ

Why not go out on a limb? That’s where the fruit is.

Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

[1113]

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Yes Kanga I know that one...."In order to get to the fruit of the tree you have to go out on a limb"

did you see Shirley MacLaine's movie Out On A Limb, or read her book of the same name? I loved both - in fact I have the DVD if you want to borrow it. Do they have a DVD lending library where you are? Perhaps they can get The Five Pennies for you??

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Terry Pratchett

[White_Rose]

Oh Kanga, you have just mentioned two of my favourite words, Terry Pratchett. I love his books and his comments such as the one above. So sad he has died.

Mary

Mary sorry if I upset you.
