Sunday Inspiration: An Open Mind
An open mind leaves a chance for someone to drop a worthwhile thought in it.
—Mark Twain
Sunday Inspiration: Thinking
Thinking is difficult. That’s why most people judge.
—Carl Jung
Sunday Inspiration: Six Mistakes
Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.
—Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sunday Inspiration: A New Path
If you are going down a road and don’t like what’s in front of you, and look behind you and you don’t like what you see, get off the road. Create a new path.
—Maya Angelou
Sunday Inspiration: Anger
He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.
—Thomas Aquinas
Sunday Inspiration: Music
We are the same. There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the common denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul.
—Willie Nelson
Sunday Inspiration: Patience
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. It is possible to live and not know.
—Rainer Maria Rilke
Sunday Inspiration: To Build and to Cherish
It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult.
—Queen Elizabeth II
Sunday Inspiration: Imagine
Imagine if we all walked into the world with the belief that each person was inherently worthy.
Imagine if our goal was to help each other recognize that we are worthy of being loved.
Imagine if we sought to listen more than we spoke.
—Fred Rogers
