| c8fe067 | Has this ever happened to you? You are washing your face, and suddenly you do not recognize the woman staring back at you. "Who is this?" you ask the mirror on the wall. No reply. She looks vaguely familiar but bears little resemblance to the woman you were expecting to see there. Psychologists call this phenomenon a "displacement of self," and it usually occurs during times of great stress (which for many of us is an everyday occurrence)." | Sarah Ban Breathnach | ||
| cce74b6 | I've got a good feeling that this coming year is going to be your best yet. Heaven knows you deserve it. | Sarah Ban Breathnach | ||
| 72252c1 | Sometimes a person has to go back, really back--to have a sense, an understanding of all that's gone to make them--before they can go forward. --PAULE MARSHALL | Sarah Ban Breathnach | ||
| 35a30cc | Your heart will always tell you what's working and what's not. | Sarah Ban Breathnach | ||
| ecac60d | Take another look at your life. Give thanks. Accept your circumstances. Give thanks. Count your blessings. Give thanks. Show up for each day's meditation. Be willing to give the basic tools a fair chance. They can help you find your way. | Sarah Ban Breathnach | ||
| f2a917b | St. Francis of Assisi explains the creative process this way: the woman who works with her hands only is a laborer; the woman who works with her hands and her head is a craftswoman; the woman who works with her hands, her head, and her heart is an artist. | Sarah Ban Breathnach | ||
| e09fa27 | Whether you realize it or not, you have lived many lives, and each one has left an indelible mark on your soul. | Sarah Ban Breathnach | ||
| dfa7c75 | The family tree of earthly ancestors was really not important; what was important was the family tree of the children of God He planted on Calvary. | jesus the-cross | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| f640e36 | I feel all the same things when I do things alone as when Ole Golly was here. The bath feels hot, the bed feels soft, but I feel there's a funny little hole in me that wasn't there before, like a splinter in your finger, but this is somewhere above my stomach. | Louise Fitzhugh | ||
| 722aa34 | If you know where you are, you do not know how fast you are moving, and if you know how fast you are moving, you do not know where you are. | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| bdf2344 | Facts in our day are not the same as the facts in the time of Aristotle or Thomas Aquinas. But the principles by which these facts are interpreted have not changed, for common sense remains essentially the same throughout the ages. | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| 659260b | The soul cannot be seen in a biological laboratory, any more than pain can be seen on an operating table. | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| b7b67db | A spirit of license makes a man refuse to commit himself to any standards. The right time is the way he sets his watch. The yardstick has the number of inches that he wills it to have. Liberty becomes license, and unbounded license leads to unbounded tyranny. When society reaches this stage, and there is no standard of right and wrong outside of the individual himself, then the individual is defenseless against the onslaught of cruder and m.. | morality objective-truth standards | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| 4461067 | Even though Christ Himself would not deliver us from the power of the Totalitarian State, as He did not deliver Himself, we must see His purpose in it all. Maybe his children are being persecuted by the world in order that they might withdraw themselves from the world. Maybe His most violent enemies may be doing His work negatively, for it could be the mission of totalitarianism to preside over the liquidation of a modern world that became .. | god-s-will jesus morality the-cross totalitarianism | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| ef19ef3 | In the eleven months preceding the outbreak of World War II, 211 treaties of peace were signed. Were these treaties of peace written on paper, or were they written on the hearts of men? And we must ask ourselves as we hear of treaties being written today, whether the treaties of the UN are written with the full cognizance of the fact that those who sign them are responsible before God? | peace politics treaties world-war-2 | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| 042d70f | The science of a religious man must be scientific; the religion of a scientific man must be religious. | science | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| 05721e0 | the sadness it feels in attaining any happiness less than the infinite--all these constitute the mating call of God to the soul. | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| 126cd43 | As our Lord said, "Where your treasure is, there is your heart also." Hence the least love of God is worth more than the knowledge of all created things." | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| 03c2c24 | Those who do not yet love one another deeply have need of words; those who deeply love thrive on silences. | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| 6f62b2a | The Western post-Christian civilization has picked up the Christ without His Cross. But a Christ without a sacrifice that reconciles the world to God is a cheap, colorless, itinerant preacher who deserves to be popular for His great Sermon on the Mount, but also merits unpopularity for what He said about His Divinity on the one hand, and divorce, judgment, and hell on the other. This sentimental Christ is patched together with a thousand co.. | democracy jesus secular-humanism sermon-on-the-mount the-cross | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| cc49f69 | Say to yourself over and over again regardless of what happens: "God loves me!" And then add: "And I will try to love Him!" | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| c7e7489 | God's side is determined not by geography, but by those who do His will. If Germans, English, Japanese, and Americans prayed right, they would all be praying for the same intention: Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. And what is that Will? The reign of Justice and Charity in the hearts of men. Through a prayerful contemplation of war we will see not soldiers of different nations in combat, but one great family, quarreling, fighti.. | prayer the-church | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| 728397d | Very often we call something modern because we do not know what is ancient; many so-called "modern" ideas are really old errors with new labels." | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| 0fc67cf | Imagine a large circle and in the center of it rays of light that spread out to the circumference. The light in the center is God; each of us is a ray. The closer the rays are to the center, the closer the rays are to one another. The closer we live to God, the closer we are bound to our neighbor; the farther we are from God, the farther we are from one another. The more each ray departs from its center, the weaker it becomes; and the close.. | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| 36f1176 | Buddha wrote a code which he said would be useful to guide men in darkness, but he never claimed to be the Light of the world. Buddhism was born with a disgust for the world, when a prince's son deserted his wife and child, turning from the pleasures of existence to the problems of existence. Burnt by the fires of the world, and already weary with it, Buddha turned to ethics. | buddhism ethics morals | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| 587827a | Modern prophets say that our economics have failed us. No! It is not our economics which have failed; it is man who has failed-man who has forgotten God. Hence no manner of economic or political readjustment can possibly save our civilization; we can be saved only by a renovation of the inner man, only by a purging of our hearts and souls; for only by seeking first the Kingdom of God and His Justice will all these other things be added unto.. | kingdom-of-god politics | Fulton J. Sheen | |

| e8d4585 | The more He loved those for whom He was the ransom, the more His anguish would increase, as it is the faults of friends rather than enemies which most disturb hearts! | redemption salvation sin the-cross | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| 645ae3f | The basic reason why erotic experiences outside of marriage create psychological strain is because the void between spirit and flesh is more closely felt. | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| 8fa1ff8 | Scepticism is never certain of itself, being less a firm intellectual position than a pose to justify bad behavior. | immorality scepticism sin | Fulton J. Sheen | |

| e5b228c | Harriet pushed her hair back and looked at him seriously. 'Sport, what are you going to be when you grow up?' 'You know what. You know I'm going to be a ball player.' 'Well, I'm going to be a writer. And when I say that's a mountain, that's a mountain.' Satisfied, she turned back to her town. | writing | Louise Fitzhugh | |

| ca0b99a | The same thing, notes Brynjolfsson, happened 120 years ago, in the Second Industrial Revolution, when electrification--the supernova of its day--was introduced. Old factories did not just have to be electrified to achieve the productivity boosts; they had to be redesigned, along with all business processes. It took thirty years for one generation of managers and workers to retire and for a new generation to emerge to get the full productivi.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||

| d2480f7 | to make old things work better, to make new things possible, and to do old things in fundamentally new ways. For instance, the invention of the Uber taxi service did all three: it didn't just create a new competitive taxi fleet; it created a fundamentally new and better way to summon a taxi, to gather data on riders' needs and desires, to pay for a taxi, and to rate the behavior of the driver and the passenger. These sorts of transformation.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 229b51d | The job of the politician in America, whether at the local, state, or national level, should be, in good part, to help educate and explain to people what world they are living in and what they need to do if they want to thrive within it. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| ae51d05 | Social media is great for collective sharing, but not always so great for collective building. Good for collective destruction, but maybe not so good for collective construction. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 847d3ec | And to start with I would focus on five of these killer apps that have immediate application to governing today: (1) the ability to adapt when confronted by strangers with superior economic and military might without being hobbled by humiliation; (2) the ability to embrace diversity; (3) the ability to assume ownership over the future and one's own problems; (4) the ability to get the balance right between the federal and the local--that is.. | Thomas L.

| 01f8d2a | Nothing could exceed his energy when the working fit was upon him: but now and again a reaction would seize him, and for days on end he would lie upon the sofa in the sitting- room, hardly uttering a word or moving a muscle from morning to night. On these occasions I have noticed such a dreamy, vacant expression in his eyes, that I might have suspected him of being addicted to the use of some narcotic, had not the temperance and cleanliness.. | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle | ||
