“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
“I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
― Robert Frost

On goodreads, I hit on the quotes of the day. I have been adding to my list of quotes. Have none to share so far though.
Thanks for the quotes. I love quotes! Something I can ponder on throughout the day.
My quote for the day" Only the present is real. Therefore only the present can create the present.
If you insist in believing that the present is the result of the past, then you are (now) dragging the past into the present, and (now) "projecting" that this seeming past has an effect on the present. (Notice, by the way, that all this "dragging the past into the present" is also all occurring ONLY in the present.) This is like dragging an anchor around, rather than simply letting go of the anchor (the past) and living freely and easily in the present. Be free of the past! Live joyously in the present!" _ Bashar

I am happy to find a source of inspirational quotes here!
Here is a favorite quote of mine by Ralph Waldo Emerson. "I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."
Mod
You are welcome! And I am very grateful for friends old and new each and every day!
"Seek first to understand, and then to be understood." Stephen Covey
Here is an awesome quote I found by Beth Moore-"We have an open invitation to a divine invasion. If we're willing, God is our song when we are happy, our escape when we are tempted, our hope when we are despairing, our joy in tribulation, our strength in weakness, and our immortality in dying. Ultimately, He Himself is our health"

Sunday while reading Being You,Changing The World, by Dr.Dain Heer; about Oness and how we can not have oness by ourself, that it takes more then one to have oneness. " Could an infinite being ever truly be alone?" Thank you , for this site. This connection with others.
Mod
We are never alone, although it may feel this way sometimes. I'm glad you're in the group, there is a connection with everyone here, even though most are silent. Just the fact that we all have joined a common cause means we are one in purpose and one in heart.

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."Jose' N Harris- A Story of Faith, Hope, and Love
Mod
" Where there is LOVE, there is POTENTIAL there is HOPE, there is GOD." Love Without End; Jesus Speaks.
He Is Risen!The earth shook with the news. He is not here; He is risen! And in that moment, joy replaced despair, hope pushed past fear, and life conquered death. Not just that day, but for eternity. We celebrate the resurrection of Christ for what it meant then and what it means for us every day, a sacrifice that brings forgiveness, renewal, and peace to any of us who put our faith in Jesus.
The first three words may be the greatest message of all.
Thanks to another friend on Good Reads, I read this and am sharing it like wildflowers:"Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness; it has no taste." — Charlotte Brontë
