Oscar Wilde keeps popping up and of course he was a master of quotations. Here are two that I really like.

 

"I can resist anything except temptation."

 

"Be yourself, everyone else is already taken."

 

Maybe not inspirational but very memorable.

I think people need some inspirational Quotes this week, so let's start:

 

Here's some from noted author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, who passed away this year in July 2 2016:

 

"For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile."

 

"Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another."

[Cia]

​"The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." ~ Helen Keller

If you're going through hell keep going.

[William King]

“Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…”

― Timothy Leary

For some reason, I started thinking about Naruto today:

 

"The true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives but how he dies. its not what they do in life but what they did before dying that proves their worth"- Jiraiya

Do unto others...

 

"I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being; let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."

 

Etienne de Grellet
Quaker Missionary

enemy is forgiveness; to an

father, deference; to your

mother, conduct that will make

her proud of you; to yourself,
