I was going through some old papers not too long ago and came across where I had written down some random quotes. I mean, like 20+ years ago. I don’t remember where they came from or why I wrote them, but I thought it would be fun to share them.
- No machine can replace the human spark: spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.
- In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and still they’re beautiful.
- Every great work of art has two faces – one toward its own time and one toward the future.
- The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
- Ideas are like wandering sons. They show up when you least expect them.
- The people who make a difference are not the ones with the credentials, but the ones with the concern.
- Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts.
- We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements in life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
- It’s paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn’t appeal to anyone.
- Talent is always conscious of its own abundance and does not object to sharing.
- Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remake all the time, made new.
- Life is not a laughing matter – but can you imagine having to live without laughing?
- A dog doesn’t want much and is happy to get it. A cat doesn’t know what it wants and wants more of it.
