Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

Posted by Zebra @californiazebra, Jun 21, 2023

I'll start with three quotes from the very inspiring Helen Keller as noted in "Your Year of Healing" book by Amit Sood, MD:

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart."

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

“Whatever happens, stay alive. Don't die before you are dead. Don't lose yourself, don't lose hope, don't lose your direction.
Stay alive, fully, with every cell of your body, every fiber of your skin.
Stay alive: learn, study, think, read, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design.
Stay alive, alive on the inside, alive on the outside too. Soak yourself in the colors of the world, fill yourself with peace, get blessed with hope.
Stay alive with joy.
There is only one thing you should never waste in this existence: life itself. "
~Virginia Woolf.

I just got back from a tour of Hell… It was pretty nice, actually. They even had Wi-Fi, although I had to sign an infernal contract.

What’s Satan’s favorite font? Arial Bold, but he dabbles in Times New Roman when he’s feeling helvetica.

I tried to call Hell to get a reservation… But the phone line’s always busy. Guess it’s a real hotline.

What’s the hottest new dating app in Hell? Tinderbox.

and finally,
You know you’re in Hell when… The elevator music is Justin Bieber on repeat.

My favorite is still:

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned....

Or, "the devil was once an angel."

I actually made a sign with that one and put it on my fence in direct view of my weird neighbor who admonished me for putting up a Carpe Diem sign.....she did not know what it meant. Boy am I glad she moved last month.....

Merry Christmas!
Have poets described the gift of God to perfection? Obviously not. The English poet Richard Crashaw (c. 1613-1649) wrote:

Welcome, all wonders in one sight!

Eternity shut in a span;

Summer in winter; day in night;

Heaven in earth, and God in man.

Great little one, whose all-embracing birth

Lifts earth to heaven, stoops heav’n to earth.
