“If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
GOOD ONE!!!! DALE CARNEGIE SAID NOT TO JUDGE BECAUSE THOSE WE SEE AROUND US ARE EXACTLY WHO WE WOULD BE UNDER THOSE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES
I LOVE TO LIVE! I LOVE TO LAUGH! I LOVE TO LOVE!
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
and…
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness, concerning all acts of initiative [and creation]. There is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream, you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe/ Sir Edmund Hillary

►•If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

►•Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.~ ☼ Anonymous
One of my absolute favorites is one Accidentalnote posted on his thread, and I seem to post every chance I get(:
►•When you come FROM ‘happiness’, you do certain things because you ARE happy — as opposed to the old paradigm in which you did things that you hoped would MAKE you happy. When you come FROM ‘wisdom’, you do certain things because you ARE wise, not because you are trying to get to wisdom. When you come FROM ‘love’, you do certain things because you ARE love, not because you want to have love. Everything changes; everything turns around, when you come FROM ‘being’, rather that seeking to ‘be’… Here is the divine dichotomy. The way to get there’ is to ‘be there’. Just BE where you choose to GET! There’s nothing you have to do. You want to be happy? Be happy. You want to be wise? Be wise. You want to be love? Be love. ~ Neale Donald Walsch

“ACTION KILLS FEAR!”
I read this quote many times but when I experience the effect of strong action, its true.
Anxiety, stress, worry, uncomfortable… you ever have these things? All are a direct result of fear. Just think about how you feel when you keep things all bottled up because you simply were afraid to let it out or ask a question that results in a yes or no answer. What happens when you finally ask or let it out? A huge sigh of relief, even if it’s a no, you still get over that mountain, through that barrier around the obstruction. So when it comes to you either prospecting, talking to people about your business, asking your boss for a deserved raise, asking a person out on a date or anything that you want rember just take action because
“We do not create our destiny;
We participate in its unfolding.
Synchronicity works as a catalyst toward the working out of that destiny”
this is one of my favourite quotes….
I hope you guys will forgive me for this super-long post, but I am working on a project and happen to have collected all of these Thoreau quotes. These are my favorite quotes by Henry David Thoreau:
My Favorite Henry David Thoreau Quotes
—————————————————————————————————————
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.
Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high.
It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.
It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate.
Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.
Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul.
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.
Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed by them.
Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end.
Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.
Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.
Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.
That government is best which governs least.
That man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest.
The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.
The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free.
The lawyer’s truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency.
The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.
The man who is dissatisfied with himself, what can he do?
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.
The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.
There are old heads in the world who cannot help me by their example or advice to live worthily and satisfactorily to myself; but I believe that it is in my power to elevate myself this very hour above the common level of my life.
There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.
There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.
This world is but a canvas to our imagination.
To be admitted to Nature’s hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain.
To have done anything just for money is to have been truly idle.
Truths and roses have thorns about them.
We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.
We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.
Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.
What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.
When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.
While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created palaces, but it was not so easy to create noblemen and kings.
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

“Life is tough, it’s tougher when you’re stupid”.
Great quote. It’s often attributed to John Wayne, but apparently there is some confusion about who originally said it. Whoever said it, it sure sounds like The Duke.

Within you there is a Stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat to at any time and be wholly yourself.”

ya i like that quote,might not remember it but it says alot.As for gandi i agree he really had a pair (pardon the sexism)…when that movie came out into theaters,i think it was around 78 or79 I went to see it several times in the theater and since it was a 4 hr movie,something about it was interesting…Well gonna borrow a quote or two “give love and unconditional acceptance to those you encounter and notice what happens”…“If you are told you have some sort of physical affliction,you can either prepare to suffer or prepare to heal” Call it denial but if a doctor tells me something negative i can choose to disagree and heal, and thank him for sharing,i believe most healing can be achieved through thought,and complimentary alternative suggestions,not excluding medical,but considering all healing modalities for any imbalance,personally i start with health affirmations.

Solitude, in these days

Solitude isn’t loneliness. Solitude is when the entire serene universe

Fight for the things that you care about,
but do it in a way that that will lead others to join you
So often in life, things that you regard as an impediment turn out to be great, good fortune.
Don’t be distracted by emotions like anger, envy, resentment.
These just zap energy and waste time
