We all talk about the negatives about the ugly face of the Watchtower that I thought I would start a 'happy' thread.
What are some of your favorite non-WT quotes?
Here's a good one to start:
You cannot be, I know, nor do I wish to see you, an inactive spectator. ... We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.
—Abigail Adams
Another favorite:
"An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind."
M.K. Gandhi
"I used to be with it. Then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary."
- Abraham Simpson
"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." -- Eleanor Roosevelt
Think About It
"Most ideas are a dime a dozen. One good one, however, may be worth a dozen dimes."
My grandfather.
Len
"What goes over the Devil's back, laps under his belly."
Meaning: What goes around, comes around.
Daisy Hunter Ratcliffe (1883-1987), my maternal grandmother.
Syl
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some sort of battle."
Do we find happiness so often that we should turn it off the box when it happens to sit there?
Mr. Emerson in 'A Room With A View'
"Calm waters don't make good sailors."
- Can't remember
Along with BroDan's offering (peace to you!), which I interchange with the following on my biz email signature (given my line of work), I like:
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.” - Ambrose Redmoon
Peace to you all!
A slave of Christ,
