Beautiful Quotes



From Denny: Since I just found out that Blogger only backs up posts and not the links in the sidebar or anything else on the blog... figured it was a great idea to put all my quotes lists into category posts. The blog should load faster too as it will reduce the number of links on the sidebar.

I'll keep adding to this category as these are just a few that are so thought-provoking. If you have some wonderful quotes you enjoy, feel free to email me, Denny Lyon: warriorspearl@gmail.com for quotes you think deserve Hall of Fame status! :)

From Denny: How true is this quote! There are those times when the disappointments or tragedies in Life can overwhelm us. Sometimes, we lose our Joy temporarily and that's when good friends can help tremendously. They can remind us again of who we are, how we truly feel, how we live our lives and most of all, that we are loved.

Quote

* A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words. - Anonymous

3 Wonderful Quotes About Joy

Do You Really Know Who Your Friends Are? Do They Pass This Simple Test?



From Denny: How often have we had friends who did not live up to this level of character? Too often we can surround ourselves with people we think are friends but the reality is they are not. The only truth is that we were friends to them. We don't find out until there is a crisis how important this information is in this quote.

Quote

A true friend sees the good in everything, and brings out the best in the worst of things. - Sasha Azevedo

What Journey is the Most Rewarding?



From Denny: This quote is so very true! The spiritual journey is also a beautiful one when you convince your ego to quit resisting what it does not yet understand. It will understand if it quiets and truly becomes teachable and learns what Life has to teach. Then a whole new world of wonderment opens up unexpected vistas to enjoy!

Quote

The longest journey of any person is the journey inward. - Dag Hammarskjold

Cool Way to Practice a Senseless Act of Beauty!



From Denny: When I saw this photo it just stunned me in its simplicity of sheer beauty and reminded me of this quote. Usually, we talk about the first part of the quote about how great it is to go out into the world practicing random acts of kindness toward others. This person and the photographer had a completely different take on practicing senseless acts of beauty.

Quote

Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty. - Anne Herbert
