Thanks for sharing. “While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation. Maya Angleou
Peace be upon you,
I love the Edison quote, really. My little contribution:
“O’ complainer who has no cause to grumble,
Imagine how you would be if you become ill,
Do you the thorn and the roses see yet remain blind?
Or the dewdrops: do you miss them?
He who himself is void of beauty,
Sees nothing beautiful in nature.”
(Ilyaa Abu Maadi)
Kind regards,
Dont be sad
When is our millennium of great thinkers going to happen? I think it is time to see our past to find our future. Our way of thinking is over time for a change, embrace your differences.
Just One Of My Favourites –
Judge Your Success By What You Had To Give Up In Order To Get It – Dalai Lama
These are all so beautiful, each in its own way containing such a powerful message, I thank you so much for sharing. I hope you don’t mind if I borrow some for my blog.
Blessings to my my friend.

(((Bill))) I am so happy to see you again, I still keep tabs on you… You were one of the first inspirations in my Life… besides my Father of course! Thank You and I send Love and Light
all looks so fine. Thank you.
Yet I questioned myself: “People are used to rejoice over the quotes in spite of the fact that these words of wisdom hurt them IN CASE of the attempts to fit the truth to themselves in the concrete. Why does that happen? What do you think?
I want to add one more quote here:
“A different language is a different vision of life.” ~Federico Fellini
What for do we need the different vision? What do you think ?
(((Tomas))) We all see through different visions… it is through a Kaleidoscope called life… these visions are and always will be different… and yet… the sky is still blue, the sun is still bright, he ocean is still large and they mountains are still tall… there are some truths spoken in different tongues… yet they remain truths

” If the world was like an orange,It would be far to small to live on” Neil.
“We sow the seed, then nature grows the seed, then we eat the seed, and then we sow the seed,then nature grows the seed, then we eat the seed, and then we sow the seed,then nature grows the seed, then we eat the seed, and then we sow the seed,then nature grows the seed, then we eat the seed, and then we sow the seed,then nature grows the seed, then we eat the seed, and then we sow the seed….”Neil

Simple quote:
It is more important to be kind than it is to be right –Roy Bunnell
If everyone lived this…
Just amazing, very inspiring. I have two quotes to add:
“Being vulnerable doesn’t have to be threatening. Just have the courage to be sincere, open and honest. This opens the door to deeper communication all around. It creates self-empowerment and the kind of connections with others we all want in life. Speaking from the heart frees us from the secrets that burden us. These secrets are what make us sick or fearful. Speaking truth helps you get clarity on your real heart directives.”
— Sara Paddison
Here is another:
“Don’t be afraid your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin.”
— Grace Hansen
Morgan… thank you for these jewels of wisdom… I shall add them to my pages! Thank you
Another from Goethe:
That which we understand we do not blame.

“Enlightenment in a trice”.
Learn to unlearn for space ……… Worship of work for pace ……….. Mind to no mind for surface…. You to yourself for own face…………… No one to know one for grace ……. Touch one to everyone for solace. Shower happiness for human race……. Sing new life for life’s ace…… Alive now for god’s place……………………..“Click here now “

My fav quote…
Peace can not be kept by force.
It can only be achieved by understanding.
~Einstien
I finally got a few free minutes and somehow re-ended up on your blog..I missed it 🙂 And as I have quite a passion for quotes (I’ve collected hundreds and hundreds), here’s a small contribution 🙂 take care
* If men could only know each other, they’d neither idolize nor hate (E. Hubbert)
* We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end, we become disguised to ourselves (Francois de la Rochefocault)
* In Heaven, all the interesting people are missing (Nietzsche)
* Blessed are the hearts that can bend, for they shall never be broken (Albert Camus)
Blue… I must say your collection is brilliant! Between Neitzsche and Camus I am always in awe. They are two of my most favorite philosophers/ authors/ brilliant men of all time 😉
These quotes are great! And they are going on my list… thank you
Oh and the brilliant Oscar Wilde…”I can resist everything except temptation”
Terrific!
