    People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.

    Thinking only about my very precious girls I love so much, I read this one.

    What we do for ourself dies with us,

    what we do for others remains inmortal.

    Dita, I have the Churchill quote on a fridge magnet, so I can see it frequently.  It has applied to a lot of life situations!  

    Here's another magnet quote from Bruce Barton:

    "All things splendid have been achieved by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance."

    "To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of oneself; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;  to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.  This is to have succeeded!"

    Bessie A. Stanley (often misattributed to Emerson)

    Amen. 

    Moira, I saw the exact same view portrayed in your quote, travelling to Konya, where Rumi lived, as the sunset & the moon rises from the fields…So today's quote is:

    “When someone beats a rug,the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.” 

     Rumi

    This quote brings relief each time I feel anxiety building up….

    hugs all

    Ebru, thank you for starting this thread. I just found it today! I love all the quotes from so many of my favorite authors and poets, I love the thought-provoking ones and the gut-busting funny ones. Today I can contribute a couple of more "thoughtful" quotes that remind me that it matters how we live our lives.

    ""In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

    "Take rest: a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop." - Ovid

    "You do not fail a treatment, it fails you"  -- mcbn.org    Don't know why I found that so profound (in a way), but it's shows an attitude worth having.

    The business of life is the aquistion of memories.  In the end that is all there is.

    “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”  - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

    Hello everybody..

    I really believe in this Quote..

    Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
    Steve Jobs

    Loving (((((HUGS))))) To All.. Bj

    P.S. This thread has become my new go to book for dealing with the ups and downs, we have faced, are facing or will face. We are it's Authors.. that makes it even, 'Sweeter'..!!

    I too love this thread, and Winnie The Pooh is such a clever little bear. 

    "Crying doesn't mean you are weak, it just means you have been strong for too long".

    Personally I think a good cry does you the world of good.
