This thread is for inspirational quotations, poems and short stories. If there is something that has touched your soul, led you to a higher path or given you strength in a time of adversity, then please add it here. If it has helped you, the chances are it will help others too - and to help each other along is the calling of every soul. Into the light... |

All this talk of religion, but it's how you live your life that is the all-important thing. If you set out each day to do all the goodness and kindness that you can, and to do no harm to man or beast, then you are walking the highest path. And when your time is up, if you can leave the earth a better place than you found it, then yours will have been a life well lived. |

INVICTUS by William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

"Do you realise that when you give a schilling to a beggar you are giving it to yourself? Do you realise that when you help a dog over a stile you yourself are being helped? Do you realise when you kick a man when he is down, you are kicking yourslef? Give him another kick, you deserve it!" Wei Wu Wei |

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." ~ Jiddu krishnamurti (PS: would be interesting if we simply quoted ourselves .... ) All the seeming "authority" which we depend and invest in keeps us from discovering our own innate wisdom .... however much we love the intelligence of Wei and Krihnamurti and many others. Ultimately, we must arrive at the same place ourselves. "You can lead a horse to water ....... " And thanks for the suggestion. I love the post/invitation .... a bit of a breath of fresh air around these parts! |
