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.

@Smallwolf Just wondering if you'd be willing to share who made that quote, because it resonates with my current state on so many levels.

I'll be back later with some quotes! 😄

[smallwolf]

it is attributed to r.z.

my problem is that I really don't know who it is. the quote itself however is the something that resonates with me.

@smallwolf The reason I ask is because those happen to be my initials, and it's a very similar style to the mantras I use to guide myself and others. Ironically enough, it's also what acquaintances have been convincing me to do for years, and they've only just broken through.

N: "Have you ever seen Santa Claus?"

C: "Yes."

N: "Well, I haven't!"

C: "Have you ever seen $1,000,000?"

N: "No..."

C: "Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

I mean, who doesn't need a little magic in their belief system? Even if it may not be real, at least according to popular opinion, if it is strongly positive, and we can imagine it as though it were real, then life seems a whole lot less bleak, doesn't it? 😊

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
