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.

A quote that I actually don’t like but is so true for many of us…

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is,

but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked.

In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only

answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can

only respond by being responsible.”

Viktor Frankl
