Thought for the Week
I’m not sure which we need to do first: wage civilization on humanity, or wage humanity on civilization. But we need to do both. And in a hurry.
(When asked what he thought of Western civilization): “I think it would be a good idea.”
~Mahatma Gandhi
“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.”
~Winston Churchill
“Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand.”
~Hayley Williams
“You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”
~Anne Lamott
“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”
~Ernest Hemingway
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” ~Mother Teresa
I agree, Mitch. Thank you for providing the wonderful quotes. They’re a great way to start the week.
My privilege, Kellye.
I like your thought for the week. Thank you Mitch.
My pleasure, Janet.
Hayley Williams makes a great point. Thanks for another interesting selection of quotes, Mitch. 🙂
She does indeed, Nancy.
Love the quote by Anne Lamott! It is so true.
Yes!
Wonderful choices, Mitch
Thank you.
My pleasure, Bob.
Very thought provoking ‘thought’ and quotes, Mitch! And believe me, my thoughts need a little provoking on Mondays! 😅 So thank you! 😁
Happy to provoke, Dori. ;>)
😂
Powerful quotes, especially the “Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand.” onr.
Absolutely, Mitch! I loved all the quotes, especially Gandhi and Anne Lamott. So terribly important.
Oh my. The Mother Teresa quote really speaks to me. Thank you, Mitch. 🤍
My privilege, Vicki.
❤️❤️❤️
I like the Gandhi got the most. He also said something alone these lines: “Jesus is wonderful and good, but you Christians are not like him.” Ouch!
I especially appreciate Winston Churchill’s worthwhile warning. No doubt he would also agree: “Truth is truth even if no one believes it. A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it”–Unknown.
I love these quotes. Gandhi always stands out, especially after reading his biography. I can barely remember watching movie about his life starring Candace Bergen, and Ben Kingsley. My old had it in his collection.
Ernest Hemingway shared some good wisdom with his statement!
Passing on the Gandhi to my readers with grateful mention 🙏
I loved those sayings. Thank you 🥇
My pleasure, Thomas.
Thanks for sharing these Mitch. Love the quote by Anne Lamott.
Me too, Manu.
Mother Teresa’s quote says a lot.
I’m sure Winston Churchill was in touch with a higher being than ourselves. He always resonates with me.
Wonderful
