Quote Left The people think of wealth and power as the greatest fate, But in this world a spell of health is the best state. Quote Right
Quote Left This life's dim windows of the soul Distorts the heavens from pole to pole And leads you to believe a lie When you see with, not through, the eye. Quote Right
Quote Left To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. Quote Right

This is the meaning of success. Quote Right
Quote Left From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines, Going where I list, my own master total and absolute, Listening to others, considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. Quote Right
Quote Left Take this kiss upon the brow And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow--You are not wrong who deemThat my days have been a dreamYet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less goneAll that we see or seemIs but a dream within a dream. Quote Right
Quote Left An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life: A fight is going on inside me, he said to the boy. It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,Which wolf will win? The old Cherokee simply replied, The one you feed. Quote Right
Quote Left I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests. Quote Right
Quote Left All this buttoning and unbuttoning. Quote Right
Quote Left The word was born in the blood, grew in the dark body, beating, and took flight through the lips and the mouth. Farther away and nearer still, still it came from dead fathers and from wondering races, from lands which had turned to stone, lands weary of their poor tribes, for when grief took to the roads the people set out and arrived and married new land and water to grow their words again. And so this is the inheritance; this is the wavelength which connects us with dead men and the dawning of new beings not yet come to light. Quote Right
Quote Left Fair flower, that dost so comely grow, Hid in this silent, dull retreat, Untouched thy honied blossoms blow, Unseen thy little branches greet; ...No roving foot shall crush thee here, ...No busy hand provoke a tear. By Nature's self in white arrayed, She bade thee shun the vulgar eye, And planted here the gaurdian shade, And sent soft waters murmuring by; ...Thus quietly thy summer goes, ...Thy days declinging to repose. Smit with those charms, that must decay, I grieve to see your future doom; They died--nor were those flowers more gay, The flowers that did in Eden bloom; ...Unpitying frosts, and Autumn's power ...Shall leave no vestige of this flower. From morning suns and evenign dews At first thy little being came: If nothing once, you nothing lose, For when you die you are the same; ...The space between, is but an hour, ...The frail duration of a flower. Quote Right
Quote Left Morning Is Yellow Like A Desk Is Square He always wanted to explain things. But no one cared. So he drew. Sometimes he would draw and it wasn't anything. He wanted to carve it in stone or write it in the sky. He would lie out on the grass and look up in the sky. And it would be only him and the sky and the things inside him that needed saying. And it was after that he drew the picture. It was a beautiful picture. He kept it under his pillow and would let no one see it. And he would look at it every night and think about it. And when it was dark, and his eyes were closed, he could still see it. And it was all of him. And he loved it. When he started school he brought it with him. Not to show anyone, but just to have with him like a friend. It was funny about school. He sat in a square brown desk Like all the other square brown desks And he thought it should be red And his room was a square brown room. Like all the other rooms. And it was tight and close. And stiff. He hated to hold the pencil and chalk, With his arm stiff and his feet flat on the floor. Stiff. With the teacher watching and watching. The teacher came and spoke to him. She told him to wear a tie like all the other boys. He said he didn't like them. And she said it didn't matter. After that they drew. And he drew all yellow and it was the way he felt about morning. And it was beautiful. The teacher came and smiled at him. 'What's this?' she said. 'Why don't you draw something like Ken's drawing? Isn't it beatiful?' After that his mother bought him a tie. And he always drew airplanes and rocket ships like everyone else. And he threw the old picture away. And when he lay alone looking at the sky, It was big and blue and all of everything, But he wasn't anymore. He was square inside. And brown. And his hands were stiff. And he was like everyone else. And the things inside him that needed saying didn't need it anymore. It had stopped pushing. It was crushed. Stiff. Like everything else. Quote Right
Quote Left I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you. Here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart). Quote Right
Quote Left Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York, And all the clouds that loured upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,-- Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. Quote Right
Quote Left A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this -- that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made -- not to understand -- but to feel -- as crime. Quote Right
Quote Left Simple, sincere people seldom speak much of their piety. It shows itself in acts rather than in words, and has more influence than homilies or protestations. Beth could not reason upon or explain the faith that gave her courage and patience to give up life, and cheerfully wait for death. Like a confiding child, she asked no questions, but left everything to God and nature, Father and Mother of us all, feeling sure that they, and they only, could teach and strengthen heart and spirit for this life and the life to come. She did not rebuke Jo with saintly speeches, only loved her better for her passionate affection, and clung more closely to the dear human love, from which our Father never means us to be weaned, but through which He draws us closer to Himself. She could not say, I'm glad to go, for life was very sweet for her. She could only sob out, I try to be willing, while she held fast to Jo, as the first bitter wave of this great sorrow broke over them together. Quote Right
Quote Left There was no exaggeration in Marian's definition of Flintcomb-Ash farm as a starve-acre place. The single fat thing on the soil was Marian herself; and she was an importation. Of the three classes of village, the village cared for by its lord, the village cared for by itself, and the village uncared for either by itself or by its lord (in other words, the village of a resident squires's tenantry, the village of free or copy-holders, and the absentee-owner's village, farmed with the land) this place, Flintcomb-Ash, was the third. But Tess set to work. Patience, that blending of moral courage with physical timidity, was now no longer a minor feature in Mrs Angel Clare; and it sustained her. Quote Right
Quote Left Behind him lay the gray Azores, Behind the gates of Hercules; Before him not the ghost of shores, Before him only shorless seas. The good Mate said, Now we must pray, For lo! the very stars are gone. Brave Admiral, speak, what shall I say? Why say, 'Sail on! sail on! and on! My men grow mutinous day by day; My men grow ghastly wan and weak! The stout Mate thought of home; a spray Of salt wavewashed his swarthy cheek. What shall I say, brave Admiral, say, If we sight naught but seas at dawn? Why, you shall say at break of day, 'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!' They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the Mate; This mad sea shows its teeth tonight. He curls his lip, he lies in wait, With lifted teeth, as if to bite! Brave Admiral, say but one good word; What shall we do when hope is gone? The words leapt like a leaping sword; Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on! Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck And peered through darkness. Ah! that night Of all dark nights! And then a speck -- A light! A light! A light! A light! It grew, a starlit flag unfurled! It grew to be Time's burst of dawn. He gained a world; he gave that world Its greatest lesson: On! sail on! Quote Right
Quote Left Man has a fund of emotional energy which is not all occupied with his self-preservation. This surplus seeks its outlet in the creation of art, for man's civilization is built upon his surplus... In everyday life, when we are mostly moved by our habit Quote Right
Quote Left If there is another world, he lives in bliss. If there is none, he made the best of this. Quote Right
Quote Left Another kind of love and compassion is not based on something appearing beautiful or nice, but based on the fact that the other person, just like oneself, wants happiness and does not want suffering and indeed has every right to be happy and to overcome suffering. On such a basis, we feel a sense of responsibility, a sense of closeness toward that being. That is true compassion. This is because the compassion is based on reason, notjust on emotional feeling. As a consequence, it does not matter what the other's attitude is, whether negative, or positive. What matters is that it is a human being, a sentient being that has the experience of pain and pleasure. There is no reason not to feel compassion so long as it is a sentient being. Quote Right
Quote Left Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. Quote Right
Quote Left The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment. Quote Right
Quote Left Oh! Pilot! 'tis a fearful night, There's danger on the deep, I'll come and pace the deck with thee, I do not dare to sleep. Go down, the sailor cried, go down, This is no place for thee; Fear not! but trust in Providence, Wherever thou mayst be. Ah! Pilot, dangers often met We all are apt to slight, And thou hast known these raging waves But to subdue their might. It is not apathy, he cried, That gives this strength to me, Fear not but trust in Providence, Wherever thou mayst be. On such a night the sea engulphed My father's lifeless form; My only brother's boat went down In just so wild a storm; And such, perhaps, may be my fate, But still I say to thee, Fear not but trust in Providence, Wherever thou mayst be. Quote Right
Quote Left Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs. We are, and must be, one and all, burdened with faults in this world: but the time will soon come when, I trust, we shall put them off in putting off our corruptible bodies; when debasement and sin will fall from us with this cumbrous frame of flesh, and only the spark of the spirit will remain, - the impalpable principle of light and thought, pure as when it left the Creator to inspire the creature: whence it came it will return; perhaps again to be communicated to some being higher than man - perhaps to pass through gradations of glory, from the pale human soul to brighten to the seraph! Surely it will never, on the contrary, be suffered to degenerate from man to fiend? No; I cannot believe that: I hold another creed: which no one ever taught me, and which I seldom mention; but in which I delight, and to which I cling: for it extends hope to all: it makes Eternity a rest - a mighty home, not a terror and an abyss. Besides, with this creed, I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last: with this creed revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low: I live in calm, looking to the end. Quote Right
Quote Left Look to this day For it is life, the very life of life. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day Such is the salutation of the dawn. Quote Right
Quote Left Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying. Quote Right
Quote Left Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. The very simplicity and nakedness of man's life in the primitive ages imply this advantage, at least, that they left him still but a sojourner in nature. To be awake is to be alive. Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. Every man is a builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them. Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. Quote Right
Quote Left Ponder deep wisdom, dark or clear, Each secret fishy hope or fear. Fish say, they have their Stream and Pond; But is there anything Beyond? This life cannot be All, they swear, For how unpleasant, if it were! One may not doubt that, somehow, Good Shall come of Water and of Mud; And, sure, the reverent eye must see A Purpose in Liquidity. Quote Right
Quote Left The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.

Quote Left There comes a time in all of our lives, when fear seeks an audience next to us and remain. Do we treat this guest as a permanent resident to host eternally, or do we cordially acknowledge their visit...then show them the door? Quote Right

Quote Left In this age of Grace (which doesn't mean we abrogate but fulfill the law) we are to be: A prophet by encouraging what God's Word says, and by warning of what God's Word says (Ezekiel 3:21) we are to be a priest by ministering to others to serve others graciously (2 Cor. 9:7) and we are to be kings as we rule our lives according to godly living (1 Peter 2) 1 Peter 4:11c "that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ" Quote Right
Quote Left “ You need an open mind to access imagination. You need imagination to access the enormity of the Divine. Linear life is a mechanism to collapse itself for this need to properly fruit, paradoxical as this may sound. When this occurs, imagination becomes reality and all that seems inanimate becomes animate” ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left “I’m sorry to inform everyone but Heaven is not about amicability. Heaven is about Truth so we might as well learn to be truthful now. This is what alignment is all about.” ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left “ Our neurological networks become patterned and magnetised by thoughts. These magnets, as energy patterns, attract to us circumstances & people who harmonise with our thoughts. This means like will always attract like. It is simple, once we stand firm in our decision to authenticate. The standing firm is the challenging part.” ©GhairoDanielsQuotes 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 “It is wise not to Trust those who have deceived us, even once. Deception & Betrayal of Trust is often pre-arranged by Souls so that they may totally disengage from each other. This disengagement will propel one forward.” ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left “Every single experience is part of God’s Divine Plan. Sometimes this is hard to accept.” ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left I wouldn't have gone this far, If I had known that it hurts. I wouldn't have gone this far, If I had known that am this confused. Quote Right
Quote Left The one who wrote, Truth is self-evident, was correct...profoundly in touch with spiritual Truth. I have said this before, but I will say it again, if I have to convince myself, as to whether something is right or wrong, go though a litany of gymnastic thought -- it is probably wrong! Truth doesn't require knowledge...it does not require proving -- it is like God's presence -- we just know...and that fact is unshakable, regardless of the profound consequences. Quote Right
Quote Left "Find the 'Other I' within - that's God/Allah/the Nameless." "Humanity is the only true faith - all scriptures whisper this." "Skin-deep equality fools. Soul-deep equality liberates." "Stop wandering aimlessly - go to the connoisseur. Then you'll know if you're glass or diamond." "Protest selflessly. Self-interested rebels become tomorrow's tyrants." "God dwells not in hollow religiosity but in our conscience - His true throne." Quote Right
Quote Left I espouse no particular care for nature scenes with manmade structures, though I must admit some small indulgence in nostalgia at the thought that someone, with nature, shared this time and space and perhaps each became a part of the other Quote Right
Quote Left Mankinds' efforts at A.I. will remain unsuccessful until mans' amorality is addressed. Once this is resolved, the question of whether or not A.I. should be developed will become self evident. Quote Right
Quote Left “One cannot grasp experience. One can only feel it in the moment. This moment is eternal, which is Mind in continuous creation.” ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left Why is the following analogy of wisdom important? Some will think inside the box. Some will think outside the box. Others will think inside the box, outside the box and as the box. Clearly, there is no box. WHY? You cannot contain knowledge in any vessel. If you do, it will stagnate and become useless. All the knowledge we know now can fit on a table. Outside this table is unknown knowledge of various forms, spiritual, emotional, mental, and so on. This knowledge is infinite. Quote Right
Quote Left “You cannot stop quantum space energy movement unless your own energy is of a much higher frequency than the frequency you want to halt or divert. This is why we say, don’t resist what you cannot change. Go with flow & do what is before you.” GhairoDanielsQuotes2025 Quote Right
Quote Left “Those who betray you are often those closest to you. Why is this ? Because a Soul has to understand betrayal to move closer to God. Those closest to you know you best so will know best how to teach you this unpalatable lesson. One has to experience betrayal to know Unconditional Love.” GhairoDanielsQuotes2025 Quote Right
Quote Left Today Oedipalism is still rife in many families. And Oedipalism doesn’t mean sleeping with the parent of the opposite sex when an adult. In the vast majority of cases Oedipalism exists at the emotional and psychological level. Divinity does not approve of this extreme type of soul co-dependence. Any WHY does God not approve of this ? Because it means that the souls involved cannot move in independence back into HIS embrace. Quote Right
Quote Left “ We’ve come to Planet Earth to learn to manipulate energy, BUT to manipulate & create Truth NOT to manipulate to create Untruths. So if the Holy Quran says divorce happens after 4months separation, don’t say you are married when you were totally separated for 5yrs, just to claim more inheritance. This is manipulation for untruths to the highest degree” The Holy Quran is exceptionally clear on hypocrisy.” Quote Right
Quote Left Although lost to history, one may imagine that the origin of the phrase 'to face the music' is that Scottish military formations placed their musicians in the rear. So soldiers had the choice of going forward into battle, or turning back and listening to the bagpipes. This accounts for their bravery. Quote Right
Quote Left "Love isn’t some neat little garden all pruned and predictable. It’s wild maybe crazy, messy, untamed, stubborn. It takes root in the strangest of places. It weathers storms and keeps on stretching, even when the world says it shouldn’t. This—this is that kind of love. My kind of love," - Daniel Henry Rodgers Quote Right
Quote Left Throughout life you'll meet one person who is like no other, you can talk to this person for hours and they never get bored, you can tell this person things and they will never judge you, this person is your partner your soulmate your best friend never let them go. Quote Right
Quote Left IF YOU SEE YOURSELF AS A GALACTIC, IT IS NO BIG DEAL. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MULTIDIMENSIONAL or GALACTIC. IT IS JUST THAT HUMANS GONE WONKY THROUGH FEAR AND GREED HAVE CREATED MATRICES AT ALL LEVELS OF HUMAN LIFE TO SUPPRESS CREATIVITY. BUT CONSCIOUSNESS WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THIS. HUMAN LIFE MUST NOW COME INTO BALANCE. ALL MUST EXPRESS THEMSELVES WHICHEVER WAY THEY WANT WITHOUT HURTING OR TAKING FROM ANOTHER. Quote Right
Quote Left “I think you were born for this time and place. You can call it fate or Divine Providence, but you were born for this. Sometimes I think our lives were predestined to go down a certain path. Oh, we can choose the good or the bad along the way, but ultimately, perhaps we are predestined for things beyond our control. It is not acurse, but a gift, to be embraced and used in the right way.” - Dan "Doc" Thomas, The Rushing Tide Quote Right
Quote Left This is Love in Death : To see the fetching Angel in the living room corner waiting…to give up breath, letting go of life, then to fly towards shining stars, causing rain to fall on faces of mourners…finally to walk steps in a sky, without feet. Quote Right
Quote Left "Trees are the proof of this truth: - No matter how many times I am broken, I will bloom again and again. Bound to my roots, I will touch the sky, Fighting with every breath, turning every wound into greenery." Quote Right
Quote Left I know who I am and not what you want me to be. For in this, my dear, I am truly free. Quote Right
Quote Left "Make this new chapter of your life count. With each new chapter you get to start with a blank slate. Here’s to writing the best chapter of your life and the many that will follow." Quote Right
