Quote from C.G. Rousing

When the mind is free, magic happens.

Quote from Allan Lokos, Patience: The Art of Peaceful Living

We must accept the reality that the causes of impatience travel a two-way street.

Quote from Melissa Kirk

And I think THAT’S what we need to be pursuing with our lives: learning to be more skillful at coping with our minds.

Quote from Anthony Storr, Feet of Clay: A Study of Gurus

Whether a belief is considered to be a delusion or not depends partly upon the intensity with which it is defended, and partly upon the numbers of people subscribing to it.

The Secret History of the World and How to Get Out Alive

Quote from Laura Knight Jadczyk, The Secret History of the World and How to Get Out Alive

We attribute to ourselves qualities that we do not possess because if we possessed them, our lives would exactly mirror our image of ourselves. Our lies about what is really happening in our lives are what we use to “patch up” our ego with rationalizations and justifications, all of which conceal from us the fact that we cannot really do anything because we have no Being.

The Good Among the Great: 19 Traits of the Most Admirable

Quote from Donald Van de Mark, The Good Among the Great: 19 Traits of the Most Admirable, Creative, and Joyous People

Not only is there often a right and wrong, but what goes around does come around, Karma exists, chickens do come home to roost, and as my mother, Phyllis, liked to say, “There is always a day of reckoning.” The good among the great understand that every choice we make adds to the strength or weakness of our spirits—ourselves, or to use an old fashioned word for the same idea, our souls. That is every human’s life work: to construct an identity bit by bit, to walk a path step by step, to live a life that is worthy of something higher, lighter, more fulfilling, and maybe even everlasting.

Quote from Anna Funder

The cynic sees only cynicism, the depressive can taint creation with one glance

Quote from Stefan Molyneux

Sanity is not about confrontation. It’s about filtering. Having a stable and happy life is about saying “no” to crazy people, not about inviting them in and then hoping that confrontations are going to make them sane.
