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.

Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer

The art of war i believe. of course nowadays some of our enemies are plain toxic

[citizen]

hi white knight, I asked a tracker once what was the art to this mysterious talent. as you mentioned the absolute connectedness to your surroundings....All he said to me know what is meant to be there and what isn't, and what has changed. down to animals foot print and a broken branch or blade of grass. I do not possess these observations but understood what he meant.

actually i just remember my all time favourite quote: it may have come from the old Kung fu tv series with David carradin. It Go's...........Hear what hasn't been spoken and see what isn't there.

Thanks Citizen, you reminded me of one that applies to what I was thinking of a day or so ago:-

Master Po: Vengeance is a water vessel with a hole. It carries nothing but the promise of emptiness.
Grasshopper: Shall I then repay injury always with kindness?
Master Po: Repay injury with justice and forgiveness. But kindness always with kindness.

From Gandhi....

"When I am in despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it...always.​
