Rebecca Eanes Quotes

♥*✿*•♥

"Too much love won't spoil. Kindness doesn't provoke poor behaviour. Respect doesn't invite disrespect. This is backward thinking which has caused us to feel trapped into being too harsh for too long. Generations of children are still searching and longing for unconditional love." ~Rebecca Eanes

“When we believe in children, they learn to believe in themselves, and that is a priceless gift to give to them. We'd all long to have at least one person in our corner, no matter what. who we know believes the best in us. A parent should be that one person." ~Rebecca Eanes (from Joy of Mom)

Dada Mukerjee - garland

♥*✿*•♥
"There were many saints who were the same as Babaji in their love and compassion, rescuing the fallen, standing by the deserted, and bringing cheer and joy to the distressed. The string in the garland passes through various kinds of flowers and links them together in one strand like the current of the stream of compassion which passes through the hearts of the saints." ~Dada Mukerjee

Jan Phillips - moment

♥*✿*•♥
"We are vulnerable to fear only when we leave the present. If I drift into the past, my regrets surge up, my memories of failing and forsaking. If I shift into the future, I meet with doubt and delusion, fear of what's to come, what I'm not capable of controlling. It's in the present moment that I belong." ~Jan Phillips

Carolyn Macko - mere bodies

♥*✿*•♥

Marlene Buffa Quotes

♥*✿*•♥
"Bumping into unseen forces, we sometimes feel a hovering entity or looming feeling surrounding us, daring to collide with our circumventing comfort zone." ~Marlene Buffa from Inspiration Line

"Life knocks on the door of our consciousness offering us a deeper existence, bumps into us and diverts us onto a higher path and whooshes by us reminding us that it’s never too late to wake up!" ~Marlene Buffa from Inspiration Line

"The older we grow, the quicker time passes. Our perception and vantage point change as time reflects against the accumulation of our experience. Time, as we interpret it through man-made dials and clocks, remains constant and some say, circular or infinite. Unseen thoughts, entities and even energies wrap around us, check us out, and whisk away – in an instant. The indescribable feeling of déjà vu, or the instinctive choices we make, represents our higher selves responding to Life." ~Marlene Buffa from Inspiration Line

"When Life or Spirit bumps into us, it renders a touching reminder for us to awaken to the events and emotions around us while we make our way on the planet. From the premonitory diversion to avoid an accident, to the gentle nudge into something better, Life reminds us of the power of the Infinite as a gentle teacher." ~Marlene Buffa from Inspiration Line

"When life streaks by us in our unaware state of the daily banal, we waste precious time in the coma of disengagement." ~Marlene Buffa from Inspiration Line

Kevie - landscape

"Let us remember that the Global Financial Crisis was caused, not by pensioners, but by the greed of financial manipulators... The people who caused the problem are now largely back to where they started and the cycle starts again, yet those who had no part in that dark world of greed and avarice, and are most vulnerable, are being asked to sacrifice in order to bolster the wealth of the privileged few. It is little wonder that political landscape are becoming unstable and it is a trend that will continue worldwide. Australia will be no exception." ~Kevie from Buderim (14 April 2014 from Your Life Choices).

"What is history but the story of how politicians have squandered the blood and treasure of the human race." ~Thomas Sowell

David La Chapelle Quotes

"A walk in nature can help bring about one of the most essential acts a human being can perform: the stilling of the mind. For when the cacophony of disturbances, reactions, and self-talk subsides, like a windswept sea suddenly finding calm, the lens of our lives becomes a still, pure crystalline window for the cosmos to experience itself through." ~David La Chapelle

"A walk in the natural world, with conscious mindfulness, can help bathe the senses in the implicate ordering of existence. Such a direct and immediate reminder does much to help steer us back to the center of ourselves." ~David La Chapelle

"All philosophy and essential religious experience emanates from a direct perception of the depth and beauty of nature. For in the end nature does not stop at the tip of a leaf or a leap of a salmon." ~David La Chapelle

"Finding our true nature, so that we can take up our place in the great dance of the cosmos, is the fundamental act of our lives." ~David La Chapelle

"The flow of nature rises, in elegantly apportioned vibrational levels, from the solidity of stone to the force of pure truth." ~David La Chapelle

"The temple of nature has its own architecture of elegant repetition. This repetition of basic form reinforces the direct experience of underlying patterning. When we awaken to such patterning we can rest some of the struggles and conflicts that live within us. The same patterning that flows through a forest, meadow, or mountainside lives deeply within our psyches." ~David La Chapelle

"...when we begin to liberate the divine potential within ourselves, we begin to contribute to the world. The contributions we make from a state of inner stillness, in which Guidance becomes tangible, will have an unerring exactness and precision that can help alleviate even the most powerful difficulties in the world." ~David La Chapelle

"Challenges come and go in marriage, but a beautiful marriage will stand the test of time, any day any time." ~Kalu Igwe

"Loyalty: A fine quality we were not born with but something we have to learn if we are to succeed in our marriage." ~Kalu Igwe

"Many people see communication as a time to discuss and tell loving things to one another; okay, that’s just part of it. I have come to understand that communication in marriage is not those planned and premeditated moments alone but also include those fleeting instants when we look each other in the eyes, when we speak with our hearts and feelings, when the atmosphere is just right. When we choose to keep quiet when we are expected to talk. When we refuse to blame when our spouse expects it. That touch, that smile, that knowing look are all wrapped up in this package called communication." ~Kalu Igwe

"Marriage becomes sweet when the couples learn how to communicate in love." ~Marriage is Beautiful

"Marriage Is Beautiful when you are kind to your spouse!" ~ Kalu Igwe

"Remember, your spouse is an opportunity to show love, kindness and gratitude; the best expression of meekness and humility and above all, the best person after God to lavish all the praise you can fathom on." ~Kalu Igwe

"There are times your keeping quiet will be worth more than so many words spoken in your marriage relationship. Don't always be in a hurry to talk back,don't be too eager to argue with your spouse. We agree,it's not always easy but the peace produced from this discipline might just be what you need. Be intuitive,listen more and talk less." ~Marriage is Beautiful

"We are living in an age where if you dare to run after what you feel you want to achieve and not what others feel they want you to achieve, a generation where If you can pursue your Passion and live your dreams,don't be surprised when you get there to notice that millions have followed you on the journey." ~Kalu Igwe

"When a couple holds the vow they made to each other very dear to their hearts, it leaves little room for uncertainty and doubts in the marriage." ~Kalu Igwe

"When a woman knows, and works towards making her home, a peaceful and quiet place, a castle where her man will feel safe and comfortable to stay in always, The atmosphere in this home will make the man to cherish every moment he spends in his home with his queen, and anytime he is away, he will always longingly look forward to the time he will get the chance to step foot in his home again to be with his queen." ~Marriage is Beautiful via Kalu Igwe Kalu

"When you don't give attention to your spouse, you will wake up one day to find out that your spouse has become a stranger to you." ~Kalu Igwe

"When you love unconditionally in your marriage, you remove the burden of performance from yourself to your spouse. You create your own happiness and your joy. It's in you." ~Kalu Igwe

"Whenever your spouse is facing difficulties, remember they will probably need your support more than they will need your advice." ~Marriage is Beautiful

“I want to get out in the water. I want to see fish, real fish, not fish in a laboratory.” ~Sylvia Earle

“People ask: Why should I care about the ocean? Because the ocean is the cornerstone of earth’s life support system, it shapes climate and weather. It holds most of life on earth. 97% of earth’s water is there. It’s the blue heart of the planet-we should take care of our heart. It’s what makes life possible for us. We still have a really good chance to make things better than they are. They won’t get better unless we take the action and inspire others to do the same thing. No one is without power. Everybody has the capacity to do something.” ~Sylvia Earle

Then there are the squids and cuttlefish, and the porpoises, dolphins and great whales.” ~Sir Alister Hardy

W.K. Murray - commitment

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of creation there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of events and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way. " ~W.K. Murray, Leader of the Scottish expedition to the Himalayas

FEATURED QUOTE of the DAY

"Like the bears, we are slowly waking up, coming out of our winter tunnels into the world of possibilities. Though our dens have been comfortable, they are suddenly feeling cramped and agitated. And with the increasing light, dreams that seemed far off are imminent and visible. But like the crocuses pushing optimistically up through the earth, there is still the real possibility of getting snowed under again. We are vulnerable to the world, stripped down to our essentials, trying as best we can not to take up the old armour..." ~Unattributed by Dreamwork with Toko-pa

Nikolai Gogol Quotes

"I am very fond of the modest manner of life of those solitary owners of remote villages, who in Little Russia are commonly called "old-fashioned," who are like tumbledown picturesque little houses, delightful in their simplicity and complete unlikeness to the new smooth buildings whose walls have not yet been discolored by the rain, whose roofs are not yet covered with green lichen, and whose porch does not display its bricks through the peeling stucco." ~from "Old World Landowners" (1835) by Nikolai Gogol (Everyman's Library)

“He who has talent in him must be purer in soul than anyone else. Another will be forgiven much, but to him it will not be forgiven. A man who leaves the house in bright, festive clothes needs only one drop of mud splashed from under a wheel, and people all surround him, point their fingers at him, and talk about his slovenliness, while the same people ignore many spots on other passers-by who are wearing everyday clothes. For on everyday clothes the spots do not show.” ~Nikolai Gogol, The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol from Everyman's Library

BIOGRAPHY

Nikolai Gogol was born on this day in 1809 in the Ukrainian Cossack village of Sorochyntsi, in Poltava Governorate of the Russian Empire, present-day Ukraine from Everyman's Library

“What is the point of worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one's life took?

And if some of us are prepared to sacrifice much in life in order to pursue such aspirations, surely that is in itself, whatever the outcome, cause for pride and contentment." ~Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day fom Everyman's Library
