Bertrand Russell FQ

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time" - Bertrand Russell
 

von Goethe FQ

"How can you come to know yourself? Never by thinking, always by doing. Try to do your duty, and you'll know right away what you amount to." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 

Exercise FQ

"The first time I see a jogger smiling, I'll consider it." - Joan Rivers

Yah, I need to exercise.  I can't keep living like this.

revolutionary

The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution. - Hannah Arendt

Can we say together, "the inexplainable future (and future for the past, which is now the present) of Fundamentalism".

Poetry

Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me. - Sigmund Freud

Maybe that's why I like poetry so much. It communicates experiences of life that I haven't had yet, or maybe never will have, except I have them through the poem.

Gandhi FQ

"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." - Mahatma Gandhi

How true this rings, especially if you temper it with Christ.  In the big picture, what we do is insignificant when compared with the whole grand Work of Christ, the establishment and maintenance of the Kingdom of God.  But we must still work, for God uses people to do His work.  If we don't, He'll find someone else.  Don't miss the boat of Blessing. God wants to use you. What a great opportunity.

Einstein FQ

"Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions." - Albert Einstein

Oooh, "boot to da head".  How much I'd like to think that I'm coming up with original ideas, but I'm not. In fact, it's said that most people never have an original idea their entire life.  I'd like to be one of the people who have at least one by the time I die.  And if I am able to actually express that idea coherently and have it affect someone other than myself, then I'd be content.

New Catagory [Favorite Quotes]

Here are some quotes I found today:

"Give not over thy soul to sorrow; and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel. Gladness of heart is the life of man and the joyfulness of man is length of days." Ecclesiastes

How true this is.  We gotta keep this in perspective.  God is in control, we trust his control and remain content.  This is very liberating: who better to be in control?

"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't." Erica Jong
"He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever." Chinese Proverb

Same idea.  How many times have you not asked for advice because you already knew the answer?  How tru this is.
