Quote of the Week (2026-24)

World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.

~ Dalai Lama XIV

Quote of the Week (2026-23)

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

~ Siddhartha Gautama

Quote of the Week

You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.

~ Thomas Merton

Quote of the Week

Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it and to work for it and to fight for it.

~ Barack Obama

Quote of the Week

For me, becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.

~ Michelle Obama

Quote of the Week

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

~ Agatha Christie

Quote of the Week

Nobody can be all smiley all the time, but having a good positive attitude isn’t something to shrug off.

~ Yogi Berra

Quote of the Week

A positive attitude is a choice, like walking to the other side of the street to avoid trouble or making a 180-degree turn when you feel you’re heading in the wrong direction.

~ Richard DeVos

Quote of the Week

If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.

~ Frances Hodgson Burnett

Quote of the Week

Disrespect is the greatest enemy of harmony.

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Quote of the Week

There are those who want a swimming pool in the house, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a deep sense of loss, while others who hold them close often complain about them. Those who do not have a partner yearn for him, but those who have, sometimes do not value him. The hungry would give anything for a plate of food, while the well-fed complains about the taste. The one who doesn’t have a car dreams, while the one who has one is always looking for a better one. The key is to be grateful, look carefully at what we have and understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what you already have and don’t appreciate.

~ Hiroyuki Sanada

Quote of the Week

Everybody’s a mad scientist, and life is their lab. We’re all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos.

~ David Cronenberg

Quote of the Week

You can either leave something for people or you can leave something in people.

~ Anne Lamont

Quote of the Week

In any new situation, you will be viewed in one of three ways. As a minus one: actively harmful, someone who creates problems. As a zero: your impact is neutral and doesn’t tip the balance one way or the other. Or as a plus one: someone who actively adds value.

~ Chris Hadfield

Quote of the Week

It takes something more than intelligence to act intelligently.

~ Fyodor Dostoevsky

Quote of the Week

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

~ Victor Hugo

Quote of the Week

Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is hard work.

~ Stephen King

Quote of the Week

It is amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.

~ Harry S. Truman

The Daily Stoic – Seeing Our Addictions, 08-January

We must give up many things to which we are addicted, considering them to be good. Otherwise, courage will vanish, which should continually test itself. Greatness of soul will be lost, which can’t stand out unless it disdains as petty the mob regards as most desirable.

~ Seneca, Moral Letters, 74.12b-13

Quote of the Week

It is not enough to be intelligent; you must also have the right character.

~ Baltasar Gracian

Quote of the Week

The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole life fall apart, and all they can do is to stare blankly. It’s not the shattering itself that breaks you — it’s the silence that follows, the quiet space where you realize there is nothing left to salvage. And it that moment, you know that you’ll never be the same again. You’ll build something new, perhaps, but it will never be what you lost.

~ F. Scott Fitzgerald

Quote of the Week

You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.

~ Winston Churchill

Quote of the Week

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

~ Anais Nin

Quote of the Week

Anger, resentment and jealousy doesn’t change the heart of others— it only changes yours.

~ Shannon Alder

Quote of the Week

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

~ Bertrand Russell

Quote of the Week

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.

~ Frederick Douglass

Quote of the Week

Sometimes honest conversations lead to the most pain because in moments of growth you always lose something. And it has nothing to do with what you’ve done wrong but rather the things you are starting to do right.

~ Kirsten Corley

Quote of the Week

Once the rain is over, an umbrella becomes a burden to everyone. That’s how loyalty ends when benefits stop.

~ Anonymous

 

Quote of the Week

We all need the pendulum swing of snatching spaces of solitude and serving tables of sociability. In fact, the more plugged in and connected we are, the more we need to unplug and disconnect. A world of presence needs a time of absence.

~ Leonard Sweet

Quote of the Week

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

~ Ernest Hemingway

Quote of the Week

The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love.

~ William Wordsworth

Quote of the Week

The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding. We are swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the latter.

~ Malcolm Gladwell

Quote of the Day

And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.

We are like books. Most people only see our cover, the minority read only the introduction, many people believe the critics. Few will know our content.

Quote of the Week

Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look.
