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.

“All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must do to them. This, in fact, is what the Law and the Prophets mean." Matthew 7:12.

This is one form of the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, is another version.

If you want people to be nice to you, then be nice to them.

never judge something without knowing the whole story. You might think you understand, but you don't.

Dear Smallwolf~

I think if I applied that saying to myself the thing that would change would be me, more confidence, less rumination I guess.
