"We all need friends with whom we can speak of our deepest concerns, and who do not fear to speak the truth in love to us."

We must learn that any person, who will not accept what he knows to be true, for the very love of truth alone, is very definitely undermining his mental integrity.

I love collecting quotes!
"Do nothing because it is righteous or praiseworthy or noble to do so; do nothing because it seems good to do so; do only that which you must do and which you cannot do in any other way." - Ursula Le Guin (from The Farthest Shore)
"People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within." - Ursula Le Guin
One of my favorites:
"No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife between the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style." - Steven Brust (from Athyra, I think)

Remember, the gap between where you are and where you want to be is filled by what you choose to do in the time available to you…every conversation, thought, choice and decision, so choose all wisely.

A miracle is not a breaking of laws, nor is it a phenomenon outside laws. It is a phenomenon which takes place according to the laws of another cosmos. These laws are incomprehensible and unknown to us, and are therefore miraculous.
~G.I Gurdjieff
Real understanding in spiritual matters is the result of much bitter fighting, of suffering, spiritual agony and soul passion... Woe to him who wants to put himself on a level with the Creator and escape fighting!
~T Illion
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by frost."
~ J.R.R. Tolkien
"The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or as a curse."
~Don Juan
"Aristippus passed Diogenes as he was washing lentils.
He said, “If you could but learn to flatter the king, you would not have to live on lentils.”
Diogenes said, “And if you could learn to live on lentils, you would not have to flatter the king"

Created half to rise, and half to fall
Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurl'd
The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!
--Alexander Pope
An aphorism is never exactly true; it is either a half-truth or one-and-a-half truths.
~Karl Kraus
A fanatic is a man who does what he thinks the Lord would do if He knew the facts of the matter.

Conscious love rarely obtains between humans; but it can be
illustrated in the relations of man to his favourites in the animal and
vegetable kingdoms. The development of the horse and the dog from their
original state of nature; the cultivation of flowers and fruit—these are
examples of a primitive form of conscious love, primitive because the
motive is still egoistic and utilitarian. In short, Man has a personal use for
the domesticated horse and the cultivated fruit; and his labour upon them
cannot be said to be for love alone. The conscious love motive, in its
developed state, is the wish that the object should arrive at its own native
perfection, regardless of the consequences to the lover.

We are all adults and we all know that the price we have to pay for having a ‘free press’ is that sometimes every single media outlet in the country – in print, on television and on the radio – mistakenly spend several days loudly and repeatedly broadcasting the same made-up stories.

This is something I read out of a high school book when I was substitute teaching years ago. It inspired me so much that I copied it from the book and retyped it. I'm not sure where to post it on here, but I would like to share it with the forum, so I'm considering it a long quote..:D

"Love is the most healing and therapeutic gift I can give myself. I don't have to reach outside myself to find love. It already exists within me. My parents my friends my lovers may not have given me the love I need but love has never left me. It is when I don't nurture myself that I frantically search for someone to love me. This desperation leaves me as I go inside myself, when I open the door of my heart and embrace myself in unconditional love." -Unknown
