Your Favourite Quotes and Sayings

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” Albert Camus

I read one of the quotes above which I really like:

I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.

Mark Twain
 
"Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole."
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
 
"All thoughts, all passions, all delights Whatever stirs this mortal frame All are but ministers of Love And feed His sacred flame." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"Poetry: the best words in the best order." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

In similar vein...

"Keep your Euchasrist out of my uterus" - same rally, different banner.
 
All which I took from thee I did but take,
Not for thy harms,
But just that thou might’st seek it in My arms.
All which thy child’s mistake
Fancies as lost, I have stored for thee at home:
Rise, clasp My hand, and come!’
Halts by me that footfall:
Is my gloom, after all,
Shade of His hand, outstretched caressingly?
‘Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest,
I am He Whom thou seekest!
Thou dravest love from thee, who dravest Me.’

From The Hound Of Heaven

Francis Thompson.

Theres a quiz on the radio involving answering questions like 'name a flower beginning with V' .The question just now was 'Name a job beginning with W' and Suzanne in Derbyshire replied ' Walker' :\
 
So, when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, if you go for all these fairy tales, that "evil" woman convinced the man to eat the apple, but the apple came from the Tree of Knowledge. And the punishment that was then handed down, the woman gets to bleed and the guy's got to go to work, is the result of a man desiring, because his woman suggested that it would be a good idea, that he get all the knowledge that was supposedly the property and domain of God. So, that right away sets up Christianity as an anti-intellectual religion. You never want to be that smart. If you're a woman, it's going to be running down your leg, and if you're a guy, you're going to be in the salt mines for the rest of your life. So, just be a dumb fuck and you'll all go to heaven. That's the subtext of Christianity.
 
I don't know who wrote that but whose to say what God would have shared and when?

He still shares knowledge with His children as and when it is needed.. In the context of eternity He sees even the 'dumbest' as a genius. He watches them grow and live..while the lost in the death they choose stagnate and rot.

He had compassion on our state without Him and sent His son..who was crucified as were/are the martyrs who had the audacity to suggest that God wants to give life to the dead.

Religion is like a sketch of God... an impression. You know Platos' metaphor of the cave and shadows? Its possible to search for religions source of light and inspiration.

He promised that if you seek Him you'll find Him.
 
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann
 
It is because of a sham that it is very much a beautiful world. I mean that in more of a sense than a Shambles but a sham it's self. Both being appropriate and accurate.
