Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff Quotes

"A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror." ~Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff

"A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake." ~Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff

"It is the greatest mistake to think that man is always one and the same. A man is never the same for long. He is continually changing. He seldom remains the same even for half an hour." ~Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff

"Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing." ~Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff

"Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he lives his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy." ~Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff

"Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave." ~Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff

A THOUGHT TO PONDER: Moment of grief and bereavement

"When we honestly ask which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour moment of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." ~Henri J.M. Nouwen

"The light of friendship is like the light of phosphorus, even plainest when all around is dark." ~Grace Crowell (1877-1969)

DJ Hinton - Nature's way

"As you walk along the unbeaten path listen to the birds chirping, squirrels chatting, insects clicking, the rustle of leaves, feel the breeze upon your cheek and know that it is nature's way of saying, 'Welcome back to the Earth child, we've been waiting for your return for so very long.'" ~DJ Hinton

QUOTES EXCERPTED FROM: THE PARADOX OF KINDNESS

"It’s a sad fact of life, but people are quick to look down on others that are 'too nice for their own good.' They wrongfully perceive a kind person as a pushover, and someone that can easily be taken advantage of. What they don’t understand is that being kind to others requires a rare, special kind of strength that most (and likely themselves) just simply don’t have." ~Heather

"It's no surprise that so many people hesitate to reach out and help others. After all, what’s the point in giving others an inch when they’ll take a mile?" ~Heather

"It’s self-respecting to know what your limits are, to watch out for yourself, and to take a stand against someone who uses you." ~Heather

"Learning to respect yourself more so that others stop taking advantage of you and your kindness can go a long way in preventing others from abusing you and your benevolence." ~Heather

"No one said the moral high ground was an easy path to take, and you shouldn’t give up on being kind to everyone you come across, no matter how many times you’ve been taken advantage of and used." ~Heather

"Practicing kindness does not come easily for everyone. It requires an unparalleled level of empathy, understanding, and a resilient hope for the human race." ~Heather

"They don’t just demand your help or generosity, they expect your endless kindness and efforts, but without ever offering or intending to reciprocate." ~Heather

"We extend kindness to others out of habit, but then we realize just a tad too late that we’ve been taken advantage of." ~Heather

"What started out as a nice, thoughtful gesture on your part quickly turns into a one-sided, manipulative relationship with someone else." ~Heather

Reserve your kindness for those that appreciate it. Your kindness is something that should be respected, appreciated, and reciprocated. Unfortunately, not everyone will treat your kindness this way. Bestow your kindness upon those that deserve it. If someone that you’re being kind to continues to disrespect you, don’t waste anymore time or kindness on them.

JAKE BOHM - TOUCH

"They say that the shortest path between two points is a straight line.

But what happens if that path gets blocked?

When sediment impedes the flow of a river, it redirects zigging and zagging instead of following a straight course.

What looks to the crow like meandering is to the water the most efficient route from source to outlet.

Nature finds a detour.

When two points are destined to touch but a direct connection is impossible … the universe will always find another way." ~Jake Bohm, TOUCH TV Series played by David Mazouz

Horace Walpole - Old graces

"I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one's tongue don't move in the steps of the day, and thinks to please by its old graces, it is only an object of ridicule." ~Horace Walpole

Elizabeth Ammons - YOU can

"You can shed tears because they are gone, or you can smile because they lived. You can close your eyes and pray they will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that they left for you. Your heart can be empty because you can't see them, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember only that they are gone, or you can cherish their memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind and feel empty, or you can do what they would want. Smile, open your heart, love … and go on." ~Elizabeth Ammons

Yet the storms remain constant and the dreams are starting to make sense."

"It's okay to let go …

WALK WITH GOD QUOTES

"The best way to walk each day is not walking with nice shoes but walking with God. Walk not only by feet but with faith in your heart.“ ~Unattributed by Vicky Uy Lamberz

"Anyone who truly walks with God, walks humbly. The closer we draw near to Him, the more we behold His majesty!
Beth Moore

"As you walk through the valley of the unknown, you will find the footprints of Jesus both in front of you and beside you." ~Charles Stanley

"Believers keep up and maintain their walk with God by secret prayer. The spirit of grace is always accompanied with the spirit of supplication. It is the very breath of the new creature, the fan of the divine life, whereby the spark of holy fire, kindled in the soul by God, is not only kept in, but raised into a flame." ~George Whitefield

"Day by day, morning by morning, begin your walk with Him in the calm trust that God is at work in everything....It is your personal business, as a discipline of your heart, to learn to be peaceful and safe in God in every situation....Remember, friend, where your real living is going on. In your thinking, in your reacting, in your heart of hearts - here is where your walk with God begins and continues. So when you start to move into trusting Him, stay there. Don't wander out again into worry and doubt!" ~Anne Ortlund

"Faith allows us to confidently walk with God into a future filled with joy; one that can become an extraordinary and amazing adventure." ~Mary C. Neal

"God's mighty power comes when God's people learn to walk with God." ~Jack Hyles

"If I walk with the world, I can't walk with God." ~Dwight L. Moody

"Only by walking with God can we hope to find the path that leads to life. That is what it means to be a disciple. After all -- aren't we 'followers of Christ'? Then by all means, let's actually follow him. Not ideas about him. Not just his principles. Him." ~John Eldredge

"Our great tendency in this age is to increase our speed, to run faster, even in the Christian life. In the process our walk with God stays shallow, and our tank runs low on fumes. Intimacy offers a full tank of fuel that can only be found by pulling up closer to God, which requires taking necessary time and going to the effort to make that happen." ~Charles R. Swindoll

"Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God." ~Leonard Ravenhill

"Suffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire." ~Timothy Keller

"There is no secret formula--only a life committed to a close walk with God." ~Dillon Burroughs

"There is nothing God doesn't know about your life. You may know the past and present, but God also knows the future. Choose today to walk securely - not in what you know, but in what you believe." ~David Jeremiah

"Those who walk with God always reach their destination." ~Henry Ford

"To talk with God, no breath is lost. Talk on! To walk with God, no strength is lost. Walk on! To wait on God, no time is lost. Wait on!" ~E. Stanley Jones

"You may think that you are completely insignificant in this world. But someone drinks coffee every morning from their favorite cup that you gave them.

Someone remembered your joke and smiled, returning home from work in the evening. Someone loves himself a little more, because you gave them a compliment.
