DALE E. TURNER Quotes

"Because everything we say and do is the length and shadow of our own souls, our influence is determined by the quality of our being"~Dale Turner

"Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born." ~Dale Turner

“In all the work we do, our most valuable asset can be the attitude of self-examination. It is forgivable to make mistakes, but to stand fast behind a wall of self-righteousness and make the same mistake twice is not forgivable." ~Dale E. Turner

"It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character." ~Dale E. Turner

"The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none. Recognizing our limitations and imperfections is the first requisite of progress. Those who believe they have "arrived" believe they have nowhere to go. Some not only have closed their minds to new truth, but they sit on the lid." ~Dale Turner

"Why is it that, as we grow older, we are so reluctant to change? It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them. The justification for conservatism is the desire to preserve the truths and standards of the past; its dangers, of which we are seldom aware, is that in preserving those values, we may miss the infinitely greater riches that lie in the future." ~Dale Turner

Arthur H. Compton - truth and faith

"Every great discovery I ever made, I gambled that the truth was there, and then I acted in faith until I could prove its existence." ~ Arthur H. Compton

Thought for Today - Self - Sovereignty

"Subservience to my negativity is a very precarious existence as I can never be sure how well I will handle a difficult situation. With practice it is possible to create appreciative and compassionate thoughts; then I no longer need to indulge in resentment, bitterness or dislike. Training myself to react calmly and wisely offers enormous dividends. Let me talk to myself silently with love and encouragement, balanced with firmness, and like the wise old sovereigns of fairy stories, let me rule the inner kingdom of my mind with benevolence." ~Thought for Today, UK

Norman Thomas - secret

"The secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values." ~Norman Thomas (1884 - 1968)

"Every man’s work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself." ~Samuel Butler

Do sometimes sink with their own weights."
~Samuel Butler

"The three most important parts a man has are, briefly, his private parts, his money and his religious beliefs." ~Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)

"There are two great rules of life, the one general and the other particular. The first is that everyone can in the end, get what he wants, if he only tries. That is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is, more or less, an exception to the rule." ~Samuel Butler

"They say the test of literary power is whether a man can write an inscription." ~Samuel Butler

But as we whisper and shout, stutter and spin, we create order out of the chaos around us. We are built of words, and we live by them, too." ~Hallmark

"Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go." ~Anais Nin from I Must Be A Mermaid

"As my desire to bloom arrived, I flourished. No longer fearing the journey it takes to truly open and unfold. Deeply I breathe in as my breath is taken away. I found my voice, yet even as it lay dormant in the quiet As I stumbled in the sometimes darkness and fell, Standing back up brushing off the bruises I knew I had found my way. " ~Anais Nis

“How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself?” ~Anaïs Nin

if you do not cry out in writing, 

or sing in writing,  then don't write, because our culture has no use for it." ~Anais Nin 

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." ~Anaïs Nin

"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings." ~Anaïs Nin

“My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.” ~Anais Nin

“We are going to the moon that is not very far. Man has so much farther to go within himself.” ~Anaïs Nin

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.” ~Anaïs Nin

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." ~Anais Nin

"We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls." ~Anais Nin

"When you possess light within, you see it externally." ~Anais Nin

"You live out the confusions until they become clear." ~Anais Nin

"You are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead.

"Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take OFF! But if you don’t have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you." ~Amelia Earhart

In our best moments, we are that person for another.” ~James Baldwin

CARL GUSTAV JUNG Quotes

"A man who is unconscious of himself acts in a blind, instinctive way, and is, in addition, fooled by all the illusions that arise when he sees everything that he is not conscious of in himself coming to meet him from outside as projections upon his neighbour." ~Carl Jung

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity."~

"Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see." ~Carl Jung

He is 'collective man', a vehicle and moulder of the unconscious psychic life of mankind." ~Carl Jung

"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves." ~Carl Jung

"The difference between a good life and a bad life is how well you walk through the fire" ~Carl Jung

"The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it." ~Carl Jung

“The great events of world history are, at bottom, profoundly unimportant. In the last analysis the essential thing is the life of the individual. This alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations first take place, and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately spring as a gigantic summation from these hidden sources in individuals. In our most private and most subjective lives we are not only the passive witnesses of our age, and its sufferers, but also its makers. We make our own epoch.” ~Carl Jung, “The Meaning of Psychology for Modern Man”

"The hero saves us. Praise the hero! Now, who will save us from the hero?" ~Carl Jung 

“The increasing dependence on the State is anything but a healthy symptom, it means that the whole nation is in a fair way to becoming a herd of sheep, constantly relying on a shepherd to drive them into good pastures. The shepherd’s staff soon becomes a rod of iron, and the shepherds turn into wolves. . .” ~Carl G. Jung “Civilisation in Transition”

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. And be content with that.” ~Carl Jung

"The psychology of the individual is reflected in the psychology of the nation. What the nation does is done also by each individual, and so long as the individual continues to do it, the nation will do likewise. Only a change in the attitude of the individual can initiate a change in the psychology of the nation." ~Carl Jung

"The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases." ~Carl Gustav Jung

“…the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” ~Carl Gustav Jung

"The soul demands your folly; not your wisdom.” ~Carl Jung

"The spirit of evil is fear, negation, the adversary who opposes life in its struggle for eternal duration and thwarts every great deed, who infuses into the body the poison of weakness and age through the treacherous bite of the serpent; he is the spirit of regression, who threatens us with bondage to the mother and with dissolution and extinction in the unconscious. For the hero, fear is a challenge and a task, because only boldness can deliver from fear. And if the risk is not taken, the meaning of life is somehow violated, and the whole future is condemned to hopeless staleness, to a drab grey lit only by will-o'-the-wisps.” ~C. G. Jung, Symbols of Transformation

"The state of imperfect transformation, merely hoped for and waited for, does not seem to be one of torment only, but of positive, if hidden, happiness. It is the state of someone who, in his wanderings among the mazes of his psychic transformation, comes upon a secret happiness which reconciles him to his apparent loneliness. In communing with himself he finds not deadly boredom and melancholy but an inner partner; more than that, a relationship that seems like the happiness of a secret love, or like a hidden spring-time, when the green seed sprouts from the barren earth, holding out the promise of future harvests." ~Carl Gustav Jung, (Vol 14, par. 623)

"The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you." ~Carl Gustav Jung 

 "The worst ruler is one who cannot rule himself." ~Carl Jung 

"There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." ~Carl Jung

"Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge." ~C.G. Jung

"This may not all be true, but it is my story." ~Carl Jung

"To be normal is the ultimate aim of the unsuccessful." ~Carl Jung

"To find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed; and suddenly we realize how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is." ~C.G. Jung

"We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses." ~Carl Jung

"We need more understanding of human nature, because the only danger that exists is man himself — he is the great danger, and we are pitifully unaware of it. We know nothing of man — far too little." ~Carl Gustav Jung

"What did you do as a child that made the hours pass like minutes? Therein lies the key to your earthly pursuits." ~Carl Jung

"What usually has the strongest psychic effect on the child is the life which the parents have not lived." ~Carl Jung

"When you walk with naked feet, how can you ever forget the Earth?" ~Carl Jung

"Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other." ~Carl Jung

"Where your fear is, there your task is." ~Carl Jung 

"You must go in quest of yourself, and you will find yourself again only in the simple and forgotten things. Why not go into the forest for a time, literally? Sometimes a tree tells you more than can be read in books." ~C.G Jung

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." ~Carl Jung

Extracts from Memories, Dreams and Reflections by Carl Gustave Jung:

"The genesis of this book to some extent determined its contents. Conversation or spontaneous narration is inevitably casual, and the tone has carried over the entire ‘autobiography.’ The chapters are rapidly moving beams of light that only fleetingly illuminate the outward events of Jung’s life and work. In recompense, they transmit the atmosphere of his intellectual world and the experience of a man to whom the psyche was a profound reality.” ~Aniela Jaffe, Introduction to CGJ Memories, Dreams and Reflections (1961)

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. And be content with that.” ~Carl Jung

"Our age has shifted all emphasis to the here and now, and thus brought about a daemonization of man and his world. The phenomenon of dictators and all the misery they have wrought springs from the fact that man has been robbed of transcendence by the shortsightedness of the super-intellectuals. Like them, he has fallen a victim to unconsciousness. But man’s task is the exact opposite: to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious. Neither should he persist in his unconsciousness, nor remain identical with the unconscious elements of his being, thus evading his destiny, which is to create more and more consciousness. As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. It may even be assumed that just as the unconscious affects us, so the increase in our consciousness affects the unconscious.” ~CGJ

"The acceptance of oneself is the essence of the whole moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook on life. That I feed the hungry, that I forgive an insult, that I love my enemy in the name of Christ or Allah or what ever you call God, all these are undoubtedly Great Virtues. What I do unto the least of my brethren, that I do unto God. But what if I should discover that the least among them all, the poorest of all the beggars, the most impudent of all the offenders, the very enemy himself, that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved what then?  ~ Carl Gustav Jung 1875-1961. Memories, Dreams, Reflections

"Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge." ~Carl G Jung 

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." ~Carl Jung 

"Warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child." ~Carl Jung

"We cannot change anything until we accept it." ~Carl Gustav Jung

 "We cannot control the evil tongues of others, but a good life enables us to disregard them." ~Carl Jung 

"We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them.  Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts.  Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principals.  As we are, so will be our ultimate truth." ~Carl Jung

“We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.” ~Carl Gustav Jung

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." ~Carl Jung, 1875-1961

"You are what you do, not what you say you'll do." ~Carl Jung 

"Your vision becomes clear when you look inside your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." ~Carl Gustav Jung
