Great Quotes

“There are two types of victims in the world. The weak collapse under internal or external pressure, and the strong attack. Both allow external circumstances to control their feelings and reactions.

Great Quotes

“Some wishes are lost causes, but hope in a general sense is always appropriate, because as long as we keep trying, as long as we keep breathing and putting one foot in front of the other, we can eventually succeed, at least in some degree. The more we hope, the more motivation supports our efforts, and the more progress we make, which means that hope begets hope.” – Shaun Roundy, Heal Your Emotions

Great Quotes

“Do you want to have a humble share in perpetuating wisdom among men, in gathering up the inheritance of the ages, in formulating the rules of the mind for the present time, in discovering facts and causes, in turning men’s wandering eyes towards first causes and their hearts towards supreme ends, in reviving if necessary some dying flame, in organizing the propaganda of truth and goodness? That is the lot reserved for you. It is surely worth a little extra sacrifice; it is worth steadily pursuing with jealous passion.” – Antonin Sertillanges

Great Quotes

“Virtue is being completely you. The virtue of a horse is to run fast. The virtue of a car is to drive well. The virtue of a woman is to woman well. Identify what is quintessentially you and develop the virtue of being THAT. That is what it is to be virtuous. We associate it with self control and purity–because that’s part of what makes man more than an animal. But self control isn’t the only thing that makes you virtuous. Think of a virtuouso on the violin. Their virtue is how well they play. Be good at being you.” – Eve Speer Garcia

Great Quotes

“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.” – James A. Baldwin

Great Quotes

“Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.” – L.R.Knost
