"Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace." —Frederick Buechner
"Purpose is the place where your deep gladness meets the world's needs." ~Frederick Buechner
"TO SACRIFICE SOMETHING is to make it holy by giving it away for love." ~Frederick Buechner, Originally published in Wishful Thinking and later in Beyond Words
"Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality—not as we expect it to be but as it is—is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love." ~Frederick Buechner

“Our great mistake in education is, as it seems to me, the worship of book-learning–the confusion of instruction and education. We strain the memory instead of cultivating the mind. The children in our elementary schools are wearied by the mechanical act of writing, and the interminable intricacies of spelling; they are oppressed by columns of dates, by lists of kings and places, which convey no definite idea to their minds, and have no near relation to their daily wants and occupations; while in our public schools the same unfortunate results are produced by the weary monotony of Latin and Greek grammar. We ought to follow exactly the opposite course with children–to give them a wholesome variety of mental food, and endeavor to cultivate their tastes, rather than to fill their minds with dry facts. The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn. What does it matter if the pupil know a little more or a little less? A boy who leaves school knowing much, but hating his lessons, will soon have forgotten almost all he ever learned; while another who had acquired a thirst for knowledge, even if he had learned little, would soon teach himself more than the first ever knew.” ~John Lubbock, The Pleasures of Life

King George V - Six Treasured Maxims
Teach me to be obedient to the rules of the game;
Teach me to distinguish between sentiment and sentimentality, admiring the one and despising the other;
Teach me neither to proffer nor receive cheap praises;
If I am called upon to suffer let me be like a well-bred beast that goes away to suffer in silence;
Teach me to win, if I may; if I may not, then above all teach me to be a good loser;
Teach me neither to cry for the moon nor over spilt milk.
Source: The Friendship Book of Francis Gay, 1981
Lao Tsu Quotes
Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?
The Master doesn't seek fulfillment,
but not seeking, not expecting,
is present, and can welcome all things.
Lao Tsu

Sue Patton Thoele Quotes
"I believe one of our souls' major purposes is to know, love, and express our authentic selves. To live the life and be the person we were created to be. However, our true selves only emerge when it's safe to do so. Self-condemnation, shame, and guilt send your true nature into hiding. It's only in the safety of gentle curiosity, encouragement, and self-love that your soul can bloom as it was created to do." ~Sue Patton Thoele
"Mindfulness is being aware of yourself, others, and your surroundings in the moment. When consciously and kindly focusing awareness on life as it unfolds minute by precious minute, you are better able to savour each experience." ~Sue Patton Thoele
“Remembering our true capabilities will assist us in finding the courage to be our brightest, most authentic selves.” ~Sue Patton Thoele

"A Divine Image"
by William Blake
Cruelty has a human heart,
And Jealousy a human face;
Terror the human form divine,
And Secresy the human dress.
The human dress is forged iron,
The human form a fiery forge,
The human face a furnace sealed,
The human heart its hungry gorge.
“The Lily of the valley, breathing in the humble grass
Answer'd the lovely maid and said: "I am a watry weed,
And I am very small, and love to dwell in lowly vales;
So weak, the gilded butterfly scarce perches on my head;
Yet I am visited from heaven, and he that smiles on all
Walks in the valley and each morn over me spreads his hand,
Saying: 'Rejoice, thou humble grass, thou new-born lily flower,”

OG MANDINO Quotes
"Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later." ~Og Mandino
"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again." ~Og Mandino
"Count your blessings. Once you realise how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence." ~Og Mandino
"Do all things with love." Og Mandino
“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.” ~Og Mandino
"I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge." ~Og Mandino
"I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? I look on all things with love and be born again." ~Og Mandino
"I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars." ~Og Mandino
"I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit." ~Og Mandino
"I will master my moods through positive action and when I master my moods I will control my destiny." ~Og Mandino
"I will not fail as the others, for in my hands I now hold the charts (the Ten Scrolls) which will guide me through perilous waters to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream." ~Og Mandino
"I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul." ~Og Mandino
"It is those who concentrates on but one thing at a time who advance in this world. The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside his or her specialty or foolishly dissipates his or her individuality." ~Og Mandino
"Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously." ~Og Mandino
"Realise that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself." ~Og Mandino
"The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside her specialty or foolishly dissipates her individuality" ~Og Mandino
"The greatest legacy we can leave our children is happy memories" ~Og Mandino

"The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything. Drops of water, by continually falling, hone their passage through the hardest of rocks but the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar and leaves no trace behind." ~Og Mandino (1923-1996)
"Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your gold and good health have vanished." ~Og Mandino
"Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail." ~Og Mandino

VERSE
"Seep into my other mind,
that mysterious source
which never sleeps,
which creates my dreams,
and often makes me act
in ways I do not comprehend.
My vigor will increase,
my enthusiasm will rise,
my desire to meet the world
will overcome every fear
I once knew at sunrise,
and I will be happier
than I ever believed it possible
to be in this world
of strife and sorrow."
~Og Mandino (Scroll I)
BIO
Born as AUGUSTINE OG MANDINO to Italian parents, he wrote The Greatest Salesman in the World which contains the "time-tested wisdom of the ancients distilled into ten simple scrolls" which, if followed for the prescribed ten months.
As the words of these scrolls are consumed by my mysterious mind I will begin to awake, each morning, with a vitality I have never known before.
The scrolls each have a principle designed to replace bad habits built up over a lifetime which "threatens to imprison my future" (Scroll I) with good habits developed through a ten-month process of studying the scrolls.
They are:
* Scroll I – I will form good habits and become their slave.
* Scroll II – I will greet this day with love in my heart.
* Scroll III – I will persist until I succeed.
* Scroll IV – I am nature's greatest miracle.
* Scroll V – I will live this day as if it is my last.
* Scroll VI – Today I will be master of my emotions.
* Scroll VII – I will laugh at the world (Keep perspective)
* Scroll VIII – Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
* Scroll IX – I will act now.
* Scroll X – I will pray for guidance.
Mandino's main philosophical message is that every person on earth is a miracle and should choose to direct their life with confidence and congruent to the laws that govern abundance. He wrote in Scroll I, "I will not fail as the others, for in my hands I now hold the charts (the Ten Scrolls) which will guide me through perilous waters to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream." Og was also a proponent of taking action now. In Scroll IX, the phrase I will act now is written 18 times. He claimed that all successful people take on their own lives by "charting" or consciously choosing both the desired destination and the path to reach it.
