Quote Left 'I refer to those who describe murders/riots/panics and other catastrophes perpetrated by humans, and who say to be 'acting like animals.' I refer specifically to comments regarding a recent ship hijacking where it was said that the terrorists acted like 'cowardly animals.' These terrorists and guerrilla acts are NOT animal in nature - they are HUMAN in nature. As one who sees the balance, beauty and meaning of the world in which nonhuman animals must face life-or-death situations everyday just to survive and perpetuate their species, I grossly resent and take offense at these statements! When was the last time we saw a gorilla hijack a plane? A pod of whales hijack an ocean liner? A group of nonhuman animals walk down the street and terrorize the neighborhood??? Human animals are the terrorists and guerrillas when they go into the nonhuman animals' homes to slaughter them for fur coats, hunting trophies, plumage and all the other atrocious reasons society gives for the gross lack of respect for life, and murder of our fellow creatures inhabiting this world. If and when man comes off his ego trip, maybe he'll see just how insignificant he is to the total scheme of beings on this planet in which ALL creatures share. Then, the saying will be turned around to 'They behaved like people.'' (Letter to Abigail Van Buren in the York Daily Record) Quote Right
Quote Left My worst enemies are those who presume me to be harmless. They cannot imagine how much I resent and disdain them, or just how great a threat they would face if I could get at them. Everything in their behavior speaks of insult and presumptuousness, and for now it is all I can do to make constructive use of my anger toward them. At this time, I just make a list of them and keep a watch on. Some day, with the help of time, space, and circumstance, I will be able to humiliate them properly - not in a manner they would enjoy, but in a style calculated to make them wish that they had never been born. Quote Right
Quote Left Why prove to a man he is wrong? Is that going to make him like you? Why not let him save face? He didn't ask for your opinion. He didn't want it. Why argue with him? You can't win an argument, because if you lose, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it. Why? You will feel fine. But what about him? You have made him feel inferior, you hurt his pride, insult his intelligence, his judgment, and his self-respect, and he'll resent your triumph. That will make him strike back, but it will never make him want to change his mind. A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. Quote Right
Quote Left Any man who can write a page of living prose adds something to our life, and the man who can, as I can, is surely the last to resent someone who can do it even better. An artist cannot deny art, nor would he want to. A lover cannot deny love. Quote Right
Quote Left Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all. Quote Right
Quote Left The slight that can be conveyed in a glance, in a gracious smile, in a wave of the hand, is often the knee plus ultra of art. What insult is so keen or so keenly felt, as the polite insult which it is impossible to resent? Quote Right
Quote Left I am saying voluntarily that I have sung for almost every religious group in the country, from Jewish and Catholic, and Presbyterian and Holy Rollers and Revival Churches. I love my country very dearly, and I greatly resent the implication that some of the places that I have sung and some of the people that I have known, and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical, make me less of an American. Quote Right
Quote Left We generate our own environment. We get exactly what we deserve. How can we resent the life weve created for ourselves? Whos to blame, whos to credit, but us? Who can change it anytime we wish, but us? Quote Right
Quote Left Truth is incontrovertible, ignorance can deride it, panic may resent it, malice may destroy it, but there it is Quote Right
Quote Left The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honor is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don't resent them, you are not fit to live. Quote Right

Quote Left For sure, we can overwork things, and ourselves...when painting, an important mastery of art is to sense when to stop. I do...but like you am seldom certain. Once risen above the self, it is such a daunting responsibility knowing all that we do also represent elements of God. Quote Right
Quote Left I am really resenting AI in the Arts. It is not the death of art, because artists will do art no matter what. Always there will be small gatherings of innovative creative individuals. But none will make a buck at it. Commercial mediocrity will rule...young people will never develop the skills needed to produce unique, personal products. It will hurt soul and spirit development -- the devil must be overjoyed. Another appealing way to keep humanity on the surface layer of creation. Quote Right
Quote Left Our past was a gift, our future is a present. Quote Right
Quote Left Never let the past consume the present. Let the present absorb the past. And no future left to matter. Quote Right

Quote Left History is the study of past events, the disasters of the outrageous present and the nuclear apprehension of the next available future. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left "We all make mistakes, and holding resentment rarely benefits us in the long run. When insulted or mistreated, it's natural to feel anger, but don't let it chain you to the one who hurt you. Ask yourself if the slight merits your ongoing distress and demand for vengeance. Forgiveness can be the better choice, especially when the behavior wasn't deeply malicious." Quote Right
Quote Left The Soul is not something outside of you. The Soul is integrated within your very cells. It moves, travels, but never leaves you body fully until you take your last breath. It carries your encodings with it where it goes to continue its lessons. It is hooked into the physical Heart as etheric thread. So do not look for Soul in the heavens. Use it as it presents in material form in the here and now with mind as the tool. ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left All poetry is an expression of what the soul is undergoing. It takes courage for ego 2 step aside & let soul present itself. This is what poets do when they step forward to present their poetry to the world. They are not only speaking for themselves. They are speaking their truths, reflecting truths of many others experiencing the same soul development phenomenon on a planet rapidly transitioning from old paradigms into paradigms which Heart represents. ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left We need more soldiers for Christ, and not fraud advocates touting presents for all under my tree. Quote Right
Quote Left "How you look at people sometimes doesn't determine how you see them." I'm looking at you, meaning I'm observing you. I can see you meaning I have a deeper understanding of what I have been looking at. How you present yourself doesn't always show your true nature, character, and intention Quote Right
Quote Left “We often believe that what happened in our past molds outcomes in the present. This is a fallacy. In timeless awareness, it is the present that changes the past. New perceptions make your history mutable. Change your perceptions of the past, and you will see that past, present & future exist within parallel Universes that are in constant flux.” ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left The sun wakes up even when the sky isn’t clear—soft, quiet, tired, but always present. Quote Right

Quote Left "Peace isn’t found in perfect moments—it’s found in present ones." Quote Right
Quote Left The importance of a thing will present itself at the most appropriate yet inopportune time. Quote Right
Quote Left So many lessons I have learned from the present... Broken promises, betrayal, and situations that were unpleasant. You'd think that I would have learned from the past But instead, I repeat the patterns I've cast. Quote Right
Quote Left ON PRÉSENCE & AWAKENING “Presence is ungraspable, fleeting. It subsides as soon as it arises. When we wake up, we wake up to Presence. It is unstoppable, our eternal Truth. It matters not what we look like, do or wear - these are conditioned illusions of the mind. In the final analysis we are all presentations of Presence.” Quote Right
Quote Left The human form is a vehicle...a housing -- yet a temple, through which The Divine can manifest his glorious kingdom on earth...when and if we act accordingly, direct our "Us" tenant spirits to behave righteous thus fully representative of Christ. A Light victory, over the sphere of lifeless darkness. Quote Right
Quote Left There's a bond created in the forge of eternity, tempered by Gods' skillful hammer and design. Formed and cooled by wisdom and acceptance, its strength, ever present to combine. Quote Right
Quote Left Don't confuse potential with reality. Ends up confused, focused on a potential reality. As long as you stay grounded, remember to stay present. No confundas el potencial con la realidad. Acaba confundido centrado en una realidad potencial. Mientras permanezcas con los pies en la tierra, recuerda permanecer presente. Quote Right
Quote Left When I start to write, I try to make of myself a blank slate...left with just the impulse that got me there, at the lone scrimmage. I sit quietly...waiting.... Until an interesting thought or phrase, can be even one word eagerly presenting itself. Then I begin the poem, letting the impulse lead beyond. To me, poetry, along with everything else a writer uses for definition and motivation, above all else is viewed as sacred -- alive and independent literary expression in a manic, schizoid way:) Quote Right
Quote Left Separation is only an illusion of consciousness. There is the knowable God, God the Father, and the unknowable God -- beyond all obtainable comprehension. Heaven, earth...there is no true separation. We are multidimensional beings. Of infinite time and space. The real, the unchangeable, are the spirit archetypes behind physical reality. What we see, feel and touch (even our own bodies) are the illusions we have created. They are not meant to present indefinitely as they are. Quote Right
Quote Left At Christmas not all presents can be wrapped, the greatest gift, is to be with the one you love. Quote Right
