Food for Thought


A few of my Favorite Quotes:
I wrote some of these myself-- but I'm not going to tell u which ones :P

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"
-Ghandi

"In the end we only conserve what we love. We love what we understand. We understand what we are taught."

"Be the change you want to see in the world."
-Ghandi

"One must desire something to be alive"

"Learn to live. Live to learn."

"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it" (law of attraction)

"Looking at you reminds me of who I am."


"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."

"Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally"
-Tolle

"The first reaction to truth is hatred."

"You cannot transcend what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself first."

"The only way to truly appreciate what you have is by using it in the right way."

"Being self-conscious is being God conscious"

"As humans we must constantly question ourselves and all new ideas. That is what growth is. If you don't agree with something now in your life, you may see things differently down the road. But if you shut off your mind to new ways of thought, you could be limiting yourself in ways you never thought possible."

"Internal happiness can never be replaced with external pleasures."

"One who looks outside, dreams; one who looks inside awakes."

"Nothing ever happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now"
-Tolle

"Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts; not amid joy."

"When I asked God for strength
He gave me difficult situations to face

When I asked God for brain and brown
He gave me puzzles in life to solve

When I asked God for happiness
He showed me some unhappy people

When I asked God for wealth
He showed me how to work hard

When I asked God for favors
He showed me opportunities to work hard

When I asked God for peace
He showed me how to help others

God gave me nothing I wanted
He gave me everything I needed"

"You presume you are a small entity, 
But within you is enfolded the entire universe...
What you seek is within you, if only you reflect"

I have a quote you can add :-p:

The world is a deep and profound ocean. Already many of the world's creations have immersed and sunk into it. So make piety your ship to sail out safely, make faith its cargo, putting trust in God its sails, intellect its sailor, knowledge its guide, and patience its passengers.
