“There are truths that will work for you if you can recognize them. Some truths are so obvious that of course, you know them. For example, if you were to take an object and drop it, you know that it would fall. It’s called “gravity”. It’s a truth, a natural law. There is another truth that says, “As you set out an action, you will receive it” – or in Biblical terms, “As you sow, so you reap.””
— John-Roger
“Willingly accept the complexity and the contradictions of life.”
— Jonathan Lockwood Huie
“You didn’t get stamped out of a mold. You aren’t a “black person” or a “white person,” a “fat person” or a “skinny person,” a “bad person” or a “good person.” You are a highly complex human being with emotions, beliefs, capabilities. Each day you face challenges to your health, relationships, finances, and world-view — and every day you respond to those challenges in ways which are unique to you.
Honor and love all of your unique self. Never diminish yourself with self-applied labels or categorizations.
Actions are always more complex and nuanced than they seem.
We have to be willing to wrestle with paradox in pursuing understanding.”
— Harold Evans
“True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.”
— Socrates
“For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.”
— H. L. Mencken
“I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.”
— Umberto Eco
“The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.”
— Carl Jung
“Do your little bit of good where you are; its those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”
-— Archbishop Desmond Tutu
