Quotes of Empowerment- In Search of Happiness
8/7/2007 7:56:28 PM
The fountain of contentment must spring up in the mind. He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief which he purposes to remove.
Samuel Johnson (1709-84)
My own experience has taught me this: if you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won or lasting happiness achieved.
Maurice Chevalier (1888-1972)

Hello Thomas,

I loved Maurice Chevalier!  As a young girl he was always one of my favorite actors.  Thank you for sharing this wonderful quote with us.

Here's another quote:

"What would it be like if you lived each day, each breath, as a work of art in progress?  Imagine that you are a Masterpiece unfolding, every second of every day a work of art taking form with every breath." ~Thomas Crum~

I am forever grateful to you for enricing my life

Sincerely,

Terry

Thank you for the beautiful picture and wonderful words of advice.

Have you ever read "Cross Creek" by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings?  There is one paragraph I love most of all:

"Folk call the road lonely, because there is not human traffic and human stirring.  Because I have walked it so many times and seen a tumult of life there, it seems to me one of the most populous highways of my acquaintance.  Ihave walked it in ecstasy, and in joy it is beloved.  Every pine tree, every gallberry bus, every passion vine, every joree rustling in the underbrush, is vibrant.  I have walked it in trouble, and the wind in the trees beside me is easing.  I have walked it in despair, and the red of the sunset is my own blood dissolving into the night's darkness.  For all such things were on earth before us, and will survive after us, and it is given to us to join ourselves with them and to be comforted."

Your peaceful setting just reminded me of it.

Sara

That is so wonderful Sara, thank you for that lovely paragraph.

There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.



Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.


You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out, it won't matter how many times you say "I'm sorry," the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
