SO GOOD QUOTES

Author: SO GOOD QUOTES

  • “Whatever happens around you, don’t take it personally… Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves.”

    ―Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

  • “People will love you, people will hate you, and none of it will have anything to do with you.”

    — Abraham Hicks

  • “If I’m mad at somebody, I’m probably just mad at myself.”

    —Dave Chappelle, Equanimity & The Bird Revelation

  • It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

    —St Teresa of Calcutta

  • A bad word makes even good people bad, but a good word turns even bad people into good.
    —Saint Macarius the Elder

    Have you ever chosen to say something nice when you didn’t feel like it? What happened?

    Like an oasis in the desert, a kind word can bring forth beauty.

    Choose to say something good today and see what comes of it!

    Edna King, One Good Thought: A Good Word is an Oasis

  • In Ephesians 4:25, Saint Paul says, “Therefore, putting away lying, let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor.” If I come to ask if you are upset with me, and you answer, “No, nothing is wrong,” but in your heart you are upset, then you are lying. If I ask you if something is wrong, you could answer, “Yes, actually something is bothering me.” The verse continues, “For we are members of one another. Be angry, and do not sin.”

    —H.E. Metropolitan Youssef, Inner Healing

  • “It is impossible for muddy water to grow clear if it is constantly stirred up.”

    —St. Nilus of Ancyra

  • Zooey: In the first place, you’re way off when you start railing at things and people instead of at yourself.

    —Franny and Zooey, J.D. Salinger

  • Remember that it is not he who reviles you or strikes you, who insults you, but it is your opinion about these things as being insulting. When then a man irritates you, you must know that it is your own opinion which has irritated you. Therefore especially try not to be carried away by the appearance. For if you once gain time and delay, you will more easily master yourself.

    —Epictetus, Enchiridion

  • The ability to tolerate one’s neighbor is the wisdom of life. One should perceive one’s neighbor as he is. Do you want him to be better? Pray for him. God can make him better. This is how Christian patience manifests itself.

    —Metropolitan Onuphry
