Do
you not see that you and I are as the branches of one tree? With
your rejoicing comes my laughter, with your sadness come my tears.
Tsu-Yeh
Let your best be for your friend. In the sweetness of friendship
let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew
of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Kahlil Gibran
The best medicine is to stop thinking about yourself, and start
thinking about other people.
Frederic Loomis
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind
word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the small act of
caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia
A friend is someone to whom we may pour out all the contents of
our heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of
hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with
a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
Arab Proverb
The more I can love everything—the trees, the land, the water,
my fellow men, women, and children, and myself—the more health
I am going to experience.
Carl Simonton
We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
George Bernard
Shaw
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is
not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is
not irritable or resentful…. Love always protects, always
trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians
13:4-8
Learn to be a radiant human, and then shine on others.
Sark
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into
enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order,
confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into
a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody Beattie
The way we treat our children in the dawn of their lives and the
way we treat our elderly in the twilight of their lives is a measure
of the quality of a nation.
Hubert Humphrey
Deep listening from the heart is one half of true communication.
Speaking from the heart is the other half.
Sara Paddison
This above all else: To thine own self be true.
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
William Shakespeare
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t
matter and those who matter don’t mind.
Dr. Seuss
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also
what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill
When you place your priority on listening rather than speaking,
you become an irresistible force for good in the world.
Lee Glickstein
O Great Spirit, help me always to speak the truth quietly, to listen
with an open mind when others speak, and to remember the peace that
may be found in silence.
Cherokee Prayer
Physical health doesn't exist apart from the health of other things.
Health ultimately involves the community, and the community ultimately
involves the place and natural life of that place, so that real
health is harmony with the world.
Wendell Berry
The same stream of life that runs through the world runs through
my veins night and day and dances in rhythmic measure. It is the
same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth into
numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of flowers.
Rabindranath Tagore
If you’re wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
Dale Carnegie
Never ruin an apology with an excuse.
Kimberly Johnson
When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person
or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness
is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.
Catherine
Ponder
The secret of forgiveness is not to procrastinate, but to free yourself
immediately of stress by totally forgiving this instant.
Gerald Jampolsky
Peter came up and said to Him, “Lord, how often shall my brother
sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?”
Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy
times seven.”
Matthew 18:21-22
If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could
make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you
waiting?
Stephen Levine
