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.

david'n'goliath said:

“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

Amazing quote there david'n'goliath. So true!
That's EXACTLY how I won my Court battles.

NobleAlarc yes! I agree 100%! We all need a little magic in our lives, and indeed those dreams we dream of CAN come true.

"There is a truth deep down inside of you that has been waiting for you to discover it, and that truth is this: you deserve all GOOD things life has to offer." Rhonda Byrne

And indeed we do.

"What if changing the world was just about being here, by showing up no matter how many times we get told we don’t belong, by staying true even when we’re shamed into being false, by believing in ourselves even when we’re told we’re too different? And if we all held on to that, if we refuse to budge and fall in line, if we stood our ground for long enough, just maybe… The world can’t help but change around us."

Not sure if anyone has posted any Kahlil Gibrans beautiful poems here...(It's kinda a quote..)

"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked

And the self same well from which your laughter arises was oftentimes filled with your tears

And how else can it be?

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.......

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."

From The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran
