Hi all,
A quote I found and really liked;

People will forget what you said,
People will forget what you did,
But people will never forget how you made them feel.

I really like that one

Hi all,found this one,its nice;

The Meaning of God

There is an indefinable mysterious Power that pervades everything.
I feel It, though I do not see It.

It is this unseen Power which makes Itself felt and yet defies all proof,
because It is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses.

It transcends the senses....

That informing Power or Spirit is God....

For I can see that in the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth, truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.

Hence I gather that God is Life, Truth, Light. He is love.

He is supreme good.

But he is no God who merely satisfies the intellect
If He ever does.

God to be God must rule the heart and transform it.


– M. K. Gandhi
(Young India, October 11, 1928)

Take it for want its worth,pretty good feelings.

I really like the one that describes God by Gandhi. That makes perfect sense to me.

Hi deb,how are you glad you liked it.Now come on all give us some quotes that mean something to you.

Live and let love. I made that quote up. It doesn't seem very profound. But since love and life force are the very essence of God/Goddess in their very highest forms, it can be a very profound message if one thinks about it.

If one can find a way to stay in the state of feeling love almost constantly, this world would be a much better place to be wouldn't it. That is one of my goals. Certain people test my determination to feel love at all times, and hate or really dislike me. I have to choose to rise above that and feel extra love for them because they are in such darkness that they actually need more love than most other people do to come out of it.

Love is an actual energy that can be shared. It can uplift others when aimed at them. It is an energy that I choose to try to flow with every day. Even with the people that highly irritate me, I will stop, go into my higher self, find compassion for them somewhere within my being, and send love to them when I can. I am not perfect, so therefore I don't do this near as much as I should. Some of my son Nick's friends really irritate me, and I forget to view them from the higher perspective. I think it's because they take my house and my generosity for granted and don't have respect for my property, or me. But they still have good things about them, and it is up to me what perspective I choose to focus on at any point in my life.

All love actually belongs to the Goddess/God. It all comes from her and flows down through us. Therefore, we have access to a huge amount of love, for the asking. All we have to do is ask that our Divine Mother/Divine Father's Love to flow through our hearts everyday out unto all other's and it will start to do that. Slowly but surely, one's heart chakra will start opening up and more and more love will be able to come through it. Until one's life is just full of the emotion of love. That is my goal. To become enlightened with love. And to spread that out to everybody that I come in contact with, because it is contagious. Just like a bad mood can be contagious, so can the energy/mood of love.

The first quote that you wrote Pledm, was that people will always remember the way that you made them feel. Well, I am hoping that I make people feel loved. I always wanted to feel loved growing up, and really didn't get to feel it too often. So I try to put out unconditional love as much as I possibly can so that other's will feel loved like I always wanted to feel. I hope to be remembered as a woman who made people feel loved.

So, Live and Let Love.

Hi all,
Very nice Debbie, besides showing emotion your words mean alot.

Hi all,just a quote from the very past that means something now,so far there have been 11 American soldiers that have died this week,so sad;

Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor.
It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed,
the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights
unto the leader, and gladly so."
- Julius Caesar -
