Too many of us, when we accomplish what we set out to do, exclaim, 'See what I have done!' instead of saying, 'See where I have been led.'
~ Henry Ford
Two more, these are from Jan. 7, 2009, from BratFactor
The more we allow ourselves to unfold,
the less likely we are to unravel.
~ Rabbi Irwin Kula
So, how do you unfold? And how do we respond?
We will all have failures and rejections in life. The real question is how will you respond, with bitterness, envy and self-doubt, or with resilience and wisdom?And some spring quotes from March 18, 2010:
~ Rabbi Harold Kushner
"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.And one about sunflowers.
You know how it is with an April day."
~ Robert Frost
"In April, we cannot see sunflowers in France, so we might say the sunflowers do not exist. But the local farmers have already planted thousands of seeds, and when they look at the bare hills, they may be able to see the sunflowers already. The sunflowers are there. They lack only the conditions of sun, heat, rain and July. Just because we cannot see them does not mean that they do not exist."Here's one from March 19, 2010
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours.
~ Mark Twain
