It is uplifting to hear another's words of wisdom, so it seemed like a good idea to share one I read in Kim Meeder's book "Hope Rising" the Ranch of Rescued Dreams.

Quote:

I have steadily endeavored to keep my mind free so as to give up any hypothesis, however much beloved (and I cannot resist forming one on every subject), as soon as the facts are shown to be opposed to it.
Charles Darwin

Quote:

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

Quote:

"Be so tolerant that your heart becomes wide like the ocean. Become inspired with faith and love of human beings. Let there be no troubled souls to whom you do not offer a hand, and about whom you remain unconcerned.
Applaud the good for their goodness, appreciate those who have believing hearts, and be kind to believers. Approach unbelievers so gently that their envy and hatred melt away. Like a Messiah, revive people with your breath. "

Quote:

Return good for evil, and take no account of discourteous treatment. An individual's character is reflected in his or her behavior. Choose tolerance, and be magnanimous toward the ill-mannered.

Quote:

Accept how God treats you. Make it the measure by which you treat others, so that you may represent the truth among them and be free from the fear of loneliness in either world.

Quote:

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: His eyes are closed.

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world

Okay, I think that is enough for now. I could go on forever when it comes to awesome quotes or what I think are awesome quotes anyhow. Come to think of it I guess you could say that collecting quotes is somewhat of a hobby for me... Smile

Quote:

When I stand before God at the end of my life I hope I have no talent left and can say, "I used everything you gave me."

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I amy not be able to touch them, but I can look up, see there beauty and try to follow where they lead

Quote:

FREEDOM

Freedom means that the spirit does not restrict itself to anything but sublime feelings and thoughts, and is a slave to no principles other than goodness and virtue.

***

Many an individual, actually imprisoned or in chains, is free in conscience and never feels captivity. Many another, despite the grand spaces of palaces and gardens, does not taste the true meaning of freedom.

***

True freedom is civilized freedom. It wears the diamond chain of religion and morals and the golden collar of sound thinking.

***

Without being indifferent or careless, freedom is the freedom of the human mind from shackles which hinder it from material and spiritual progress.

***

Freedom is to declare to man that he is free to do whatever he wants, provided that he does others no harm, and is wholly devoted to the truth.

***

Freedom that does not acknowledge religious ideas and feelings, and is not the ground for virtues and morality is like the desire to itch. Communities afflicted with it sooner or later become restless and will inevitably wander off the common road of humanity.

***

Those who regard freedom as absolute liberty confuse human freedom with animal freedom, whether they do so knowingly or not. Animals have no moral questions asked of them; they are free of moral constraints. Some souls are too fond of just such freedom and, if they can, use it to indulge the darkest desires of the flesh. This kind of freedom is worse than bestial. True freedom, however, the freedom of moral responsibility is the distinguishing mark of being human; it motivates and enlivens the conscience, and moves aside impediments to the spirit

Quote:

"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security"
-Benjamin Franklin

"The philosophy of Atheism represents a concept of life without any metaphysical Beyond or Divine Regulator. It is the concept of an actual, real world with its liberating, expanding and beautifying possibilities."
-Emma Goldman

"Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition."
-Isaac Asimov
