Life batters and shapes us in all sorts of ways before it's done, but those original selves which we were born with, and which I believe we continue in some measure to be no matter what, are selves which still echo with the holiness of their origin. I believe that what Genesis suggests is that this original self, with the print of God's thumb still upon it, is the most essential part of who we are and is buried deep in all of us as a source of wisdom and strength and healing which we can draw upon or, with our terrible freedom, not draw upon as we choose. I think that among other things all real art comes from that deepest self – painting, writing music, dance, all of it that in some way nourishes the spirit and enriches the understanding. I think that our truest prayers come from there too, the often unspoken, unbidden prayers that can rise out of the lives of unbelievers as well as believers whether they recognize them as prayers or not. And I think that from there also come our best dreams and our times of gladdest playing and taking it easy and all those moments when we find ourselves being better or stronger or braver or wiser than we are. ~ Frederick Buechner
Being Better quotes by Frederick Buechner
Greatness is a life mission being the best is not about being better than anyone else but striving to be the best that you can and bringing out the best in others ~ Dominick Cruz
Being Better quotes by Dominick Cruz
If the consequences are the same it is always better to assume the more limited antecedent, since in things of nature the limited, as being better, is sure to be found, wherever possible, rather than the unlimited. ~ Aristotle.
Being Better quotes by Aristotle.
Every warrior of light has felt afraid of going into battle.
Every warrior of light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone.
Every warrior of light has trodden a path that was not his.
Every warrior of light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons.
Every warrior of light has, at least once, believed that he was not a warrior of light.
Every warrior of light has failed in his spiritual duties.
Every warrior of light has said 'yes' when he wanted to say 'no'.
Every warrior of light has hurt someone he loved.
That is why he is a warrior of light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is.
~ Paulo Coelho
Being Better quotes by Paulo Coelho
And maybe that's why the only thing that keeps me going is my belief that we are capable of being better than we are ... capable of taking action to avoid a catastrophic future. ~ Dan Brown
Being Better quotes by Dan Brown
I think the new spirituality will be a spirituality that's not based on a particular dogma. And that steps away from the old spiritual paradigm that we have created on this planet, which comes from a thought that there is such a thing as being better. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Being Better quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
The thing about marriage is that it requires so much compromise. And, naturally, someone is going to come into the marriage being better at The Yield. In fact, I say a lengthy marriage requires it. Someone is always going to come in with horns down and nostrils flaring. That requires that the other person run away as quickly as possible while waving the white flag. Certainly not the red flag, because I don't want to be that poor woman who accidentally ran over her spouse sixty-five times. Someone is the bull. Someone must be the china shop. We all have important roles to play. ~ Jen Mann
Being Better quotes by Jen Mann
I'm not perfect. But I am trying every day to concentrate on being better. ~ Allen Iverson
Being Better quotes by Allen Iverson
And then there's the Face. Who is a nobody, a real person, who comes and takes your place at the table. They get an education, the best health care, a salary, all the nice clothes and all the same toys that you get. They get your parents whenever the Olds' team decides there's a need or an opportunity. If you go online, or turn on the TV, there they are, being you. Being better than you will ever be at being you. When you look at yourself in the mirror, you have to be careful, or you'll start to feel very strange. Is that really you? ~ Kelly Link
Being Better quotes by Kelly Link
Commit to being better. Your life gets better only after you get better. ~ Hal Elrod
Being Better quotes by Hal Elrod
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before. ~ Steve Young
Being Better quotes by Steve Young
And he [Louis Brandeis] talks to his young acolyte, Horace Kallen, who wrote this beautiful book called Cultural Pluralism, and he comes to believe that by being better Jews, or better members of our ethnic group, we can be better Americans, because America is like an orchestra in which identity is defined by the diversity of perspectives that we bring to the table. ~ Jeffrey Rosen
Being Better quotes by Jeffrey Rosen
If Shakespeare had never existed, he asked, would the world have differed much from what it is today? Does the progress of civilization depend upon great men? Is the lot of the average human being better now that in the time of the Pharaohs? ~ Virginia Woolf
Being Better quotes by Virginia Woolf
Composers, skilled in theory, hear music differently. CAT profiles of their listening brains show more verbal hemisphere activity, as if they don't just let the associative sensations of timber and rhythm swell through them, but somehow eavesdrop on a point being argued on thought's original instruments. Can the effect be any less beautiful for being better articulated? ~ Richard Powers
Being Better quotes by Richard Powers
What I'm trying to do is to maximise the probability of the future being better. ~ Elon Musk
Being Better quotes by Elon Musk
In my view, success is earned externally by being better than other people. But character, that sort of unfakeable goodness, is earned by being better than you used to be. And it's about self-confrontation. ~ David Brooks
Being Better quotes by David Brooks
After my dad leaves, I look over and realize Tobin's eyes are open, and he's watching me.
:Hey over there.: I smile at him.
:Hey yourself. Getting claustrophobic in here yet?:
:Nah, not really. I had a friend who helped me face my phobia, and I think it's a lot better now. In the end, all he got for his trouble was some really nasty sea wasp stings.:
:I think he got more than that.: Tobin sends me a quizzical smile, and I blush when I think how he helped me in our tiny prison. :That's good news, though, about your claustrophobia being better.: He closes his eyes. :I don't want to have to hum that many lullabies to you ever again.: ~ Polly Holyoke
Being Better quotes by Polly Holyoke
The Holy Spirit has to convince us that reality is better than illusions and that eternity is better than linear time. It is actually beyond one being better than the other; it is a case of there being no comparison. One is real and one is not. If we are sincerely interested in experiencing True Happiness, if we really want to be in a miraculous state of mind, all it takes is the willingness to start to see the miracle offers us everything. ~ David Hoffmeister
Being Better quotes by David Hoffmeister
There's a lot that the majority, a big majority of the American people want to see us do and I'm very excited about that work. I think the Democratic Party has a record of being better for the economy when we hold the White House. ~ Hillary Clinton
Being Better quotes by Hillary Clinton
True nobility isn't about being better than anyone else; it's about being better than you used to be. ~ Portia De Rossi
Being Better quotes by Portia De Rossi
David drives back to Björnstad. Sits in the car and cries in anger. He is ashamed. He is disgusted. With himself. For an entire hockey life he has trained a boy, loved him like a son, been loved back as a father. There is no player as loyal as Benji. No bigger heart than his. How many times has David hugged number sixteen after a game and told him that? "You are the bravest bastard I know, Benji." The bravest bastard I know. " And after all those hours in locker rooms, all those nights in the bus, all the conversations and blood, sweat and tears, the boy didn't dare tell his coach his greatest secret. It's a betrayal, David knows it's a terrible betrayal. There is no other way to explain how much a grown man must have failed for such a warrior of a boy to make him think his coach would be less proud of him if he was gay. David hates himself for not being better than his father. For that is a son's job. ~ Fredrik Backman
Being Better quotes by Fredrik Backman
God doesn't call us to mediocrity. He calls us to a greater standard that doesn't teach us to tear people down to reach him, but to lift others up. Be the type of person that when people walk away from you, they know who you represent! ~ Shannon L. Alder
Being Better quotes by Shannon L. Alder
There comes a point when you realize that these things, these brands, aren't "enough." Having more or better or best doesn't provide you with a lasting sense of having more or being better or being best. It's a rather fleeting experience, this romantic attachment to brands, and I find that if I'm not careful, the search for having more or better or best is a precarious journey into the infinite. When you depend on finite objects-or brands-to provide you with a long-term sense of self or love or pride or achievement, you start yourself out on a path with no end. No object, no product, and no brand can provide you with ultimate, infinite satisfaction. ~ Debbie Millman
Being Better quotes by Debbie Millman
We don't do what we do for the glory or the fame or the credit; we do it for the quiet satisfaction of making the world a better place, saving the lives of innocents, and being better than you are. ~ Derek Landy
Being Better quotes by Derek Landy
Isabelle. Simon's mouth moved to form the shape of her name, pressing it into his pillow. He'd told himself he wasn't going to think about her, not until he was really getting somewhere in the Acedemy. Not until he was on his way to being better, being the person she wanted him to be. ~ Cassandra Clare
Being Better quotes by Cassandra Clare
My constant focus is on being better. Should I be doing multimedia video production? Or seminars on the Internet? How can I do what I'm already doing in a more forceful way? ~ Oprah Winfrey
Being Better quotes by Oprah Winfrey
America still sees itself as essential and as destiny's instrument. And each splinter group within our culture - left, right, conservative, liberal, religious, secular - sees itself as morally, even "theologically," superior to its rivals. It is not just about politics. It is about being better than one's evil opponent. We don't just disagree, we demonize the "other." And we don't compromise. ~ Frank Schaeffer
Being Better quotes by Frank Schaeffer
And I still have other smothered memories, now unfolding themselves into limbless monsters of pain. Once, in a sunset-ending street of Beardsley, she turned to little Eva Rosen (I was taking both nymphets to a concert and walking behind them so close as almost to touch them with my person), she turned to Eva, and so very serenely and seriously, in answer to something the other had said about its being better to die than hear Milton Pinski; some local schoolboy she knew, talk about music, my Lolita remarked:
'You know what's so dreadful about dying is that you're completely on your own'; and it struck me, as my automaton knees went up and down, that I simply did not know a thing about my darling's mind and that quite possibly, behind the awful juvenile cliches, there was in her a garden and a twilight, and a palace gate - dim and adorable regions which happened to be lucidly and absolutely forbidden to me, in my polluted rags and miserable convulsions ... ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Being Better quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
The thoughts that creep into our brain about other people tell us less about those people than they do about ourself ... Understand that most judgments of others are an attempt to empower ourselves and give a sense of being better than the person we judge ... Our primitive nature (automatic brain) helps us believe that this is necessary for protection. Following this natural tendency puts up further obstructions to the law of attraction. ~ Charles F. Glassman
Being Better quotes by Charles F. Glassman
We are social beings who make communities with an urgency, and it is a stern charge to make us take refuge in the lonely world of oneself ... Racism attempts to occlude our cosmopolitanism (of the songs in and out of our bones), and it often appropriates our mild forms of xenophobia into its own virulent project. Difference among peoples is something that we negotiate in our everyday interactions, asking questions and being better informed of our mutual realities. To transform difference into the body is an act of bad faith, a denial of our shared nakedness. ~ Vijay Prashad
Being Better quotes by Vijay Prashad
Well, I always try to look at my characters as being better than I am. That's one of the reasons I guess I became an actor - because you get to create a persona that's bigger or better or more interesting than your own. ~ Bruce Davison
Being Better quotes by Bruce Davison
Most of us try to spend so much effort in being proven right that we get tired even before start working towards being better. Instead of looking at a logical solution to an issue the concentration shifts to proving our point, and in the process we end-up becoming an issue. ~ ShahenshahHK
Being Better quotes by ShahenshahHK
If you ask me, I think Jerry Springer destroyed the public image of the USA. I mean up to early in the nineties I still imagined it like it was presented in hollywoodfilms and stuff. But then, early in the 90's they started broadcasting that freakshow in the Netherlands, and that new idea of entertainment, where you put the biggest morons you can find on screen so you can watch it and feel superior. Later on, politics also discovered the same formula. We want politicians we feel superior to. The very idea of anything being 'better' or 'higher' than us makes people extremely uncomfortable. ~ Martijn Benders
Being Better quotes by Martijn Benders
When you're on the road, there is always the promise of the next stop being better than last ~ Gayle Forman
Being Better quotes by Gayle Forman
For five years, I have been sick and I have been trying to will myself to be better. To think harder about being better, to improve more. To become a better breather, reactor, meditator, hoping that if I just try hard enough, the symptoms will go away and I'll feel like myself again, like a self I remember as if out of a rearview mirror except with this one, the objects are smaller than they appear. I have tried to force myself to be more clearheaded, energetic, grounded. Tried yoga, acupuncture, cognitive behavioral therapy, talk therapy, and long walks in the woods. And every few months, when I finally felt I'd reached a zenith of my abilities with yoga, CBT, or talk therapy, I would give it another shot: go to another doctor, a Western doctor, one with an M.D. and a white coat, and I would tell him or her my symptoms (for the gender of the doctor does not matter only, it would seem, my gender), and hope that once again, the doctor would pay attention, would take my case, would try to help me so that I didn't have to so deeply and fervently try to help myself. ~ Eva Hagberg
Being Better quotes by Eva Hagberg
Admire other people's beauty and talent without questioning your own. Let people live their truth without it threatening yours. Be truly happy when others are blessed. Learn from everyone, but compare yourself to no-one. Stop striving to be better than others and just work toward being better than who you were yesterday. Don't waste time pointing out other people's flaws or you won't have enough time to focus on all of yours. ~ Brooke Hampton
Being Better quotes by Brooke Hampton
Self-respect is not the same as self-confidence or self-esteem. Self-respect is not based on IQ or any of the mental or physical gifts that help get you into a competitive college. It is not comparative. It is not earned by being better than other people at something. It is earned by being better than you used to be, by being dependable in times of testing, straight in times of temptation. It emerges in one who is morally dependable. Self-respect is produced by inner triumphs, not external ones. ~ David Brooks
Being Better quotes by David Brooks
Those who stop being better stop being good. ~ Oliver Cromwell
Being Better quotes by Oliver Cromwell
Success is about being your best self, not about being better than others; failure is an opportunity, not a condemnation; effort is the key to success. ~ Carol S. Dweck
Being Better quotes by Carol S. Dweck
Right away we were very good at it, and you like what you are good at, and being better than other people at something is fun. Is that love? ~ Meg Howrey
Being Better quotes by Meg Howrey
Forgive, Adapt and Evolve, because holding on stagnates your opportunity of being better. ~ Sachin Kumar Puli
Being Better quotes by Sachin Kumar Puli
The average GOP presidential vote in these last five elections was 44.5 percent. In the last three, it was 48.1 percent. Give Romney an extra point for voter disillusionment with Obama, and a half-point for being better financed than his predecessors. It still strikes me as a path to narrow defeat. ~ Bill Kristol
Being Better quotes by Bill Kristol
I am in competition with no one. I have no desire to play the game of being better than anyone. I am simply trying to be better than the person I was yesterday, ~ Selena Gomez
Being Better quotes by Selena Gomez
O I'm so afraid that it's true about to travel hopefully being better than to arrive. It might be all in the quest, all in the search, all in the anticipation. When it came, there might be nothing there. ~ Brigid Brophy
Being Better quotes by Brigid Brophy
When you're on the road, there is awlays the promise of the next stop being better than the last ~ Gayle Forman
Being Better quotes by Gayle Forman
His sophomore Creative Writing class was as silent as a room full of teenagers could be, only whispering and shuffling a little as they tried to complete their papers. This wasn't one of the "easy A" electives, and he usually got the kids who were serious about the idea of being better writers. Half of them just wanted to get better so they could improve their Pacific Rim hurt/comfort fanfic, but there was nothing wrong with that. Besides, one of them had let slip that a good portion of the class was posting on Archive of Our Own, and he'd spent a few nights with a beer in his hand, learning more about his students. He hadn't read the NC-17 pieces - there were professional limits - and yet he felt he respected them more as writers because he'd seen what they were capable of when they weren't being graded. ~ Seanan McGuire
Being Better quotes by Seanan McGuire
It is less about becoming a better person, and more of being better, as a person. ~ J.R. Rim
Being Better quotes by J.R. Rim
In the old legends, Arachne had gotten into trouble because of pride. She'd bragged about her tapestries being better than Athena's, which had led to Mount Olympus's first reality TV punishment program: 'So You Think You Can Weave Better Than a Goddess?' Arachne had lost in a big way. ~ Rick Riordan
Being Better quotes by Rick Riordan
Great leaders love to see people grow. The day you are afraid of them being better than you is the day you fail as a leader. ~ Jack Welch
Being Better quotes by Jack Welch
There must always be some who are brighter and some who are stupider, the latter make up for it by being better workers. ~ Bertolt Brecht
Being Better quotes by Bertolt Brecht
When we realize that the world has enough love for everyone, we will quit competing over being better, more beautiful, or whatever it is within us we're competing to have. We will allow ourselves to let go
of the perfectionist attitude, because we can create a world that embodies pure love and acceptance when we realize we already have these things deeply embedded within us. ~ Cynthia Belmer
Being Better quotes by Cynthia Belmer
What's the point of being better than someone else? ~ Noam Chomsky
Being Better quotes by Noam Chomsky
Trust your instincts. Do not confuse ego with instinct. Ego has to be set aside if you want to improve, and we should always want to improve. There is no glass ceiling on being better. ~ Catherine Cruzan
Being Better quotes by Catherine Cruzan
My band is the best band in the world, period. So, I insist on every song being better then it is on the record. So by the end of the tour, we have to be playing the song better then how it's recorded. ~ Ben Harper
Being Better quotes by Ben Harper
Perfection is not about being better than anyone else.
It is the state of peace when you have accepted your unique flawed self ~ Henna Sohail
Being Better quotes by Henna Sohail
Half a loaf being better than none, I ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Being Better quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
To my knowledge significant progress has never been born of competition ... In science, being 'better' than others is of little practical value. Examples of how absurd the idea of scientific competition is are abundant. ~ Heinrich Rohrer
Being Better quotes by Heinrich Rohrer
We all wear some disguise, make some professions, use some artifice, to set ourselves off as being better than we are; and yet it is not denied that we have some good intentions and praiseworthy qualities at bottom. ~ William Hazlitt
Being Better quotes by William Hazlitt
Eople with character may be loud or quiet, but they do tend to have a certain level of self
respect. Self
respect is not the same as self
confidence or self
esteem. Self
respect is not based on IQ or any of the mental or physical gifts that help get you into a competitive college. It is not comparative. It is not earned by being better than other people at something. It is earned by being better than you used to be, by being dependable in times of testing, straight in times of temptation. It emerges in one who is morally dependable. Self
respect is produced by inner triumphs, not external ones. It can only be earned by a person who has endured some internal temptation, who has confronted their own weaknesses and who knows, Well, if worse comes to worst, I can endure that. I can overcome that. ~ David Brooks
Being Better quotes by David Brooks
We all make mistakes, Gared. But those that can see 'em are halfway to being better men. ~ Peter V. Brett
Being Better quotes by Peter V. Brett
I don't think my playing style has really changed over the years; it's just gotten better. I can hear the improvement in comparing older records and later records. I'm referring to soloing ability, to having a better sound, to knowing chords better, and getting rhythmically stronger. It also has to do with ideas - learning how to edit your ideas and being better able to follow ideas out to a logical conclusion. ~ Gary Bartz
Being Better quotes by Gary Bartz
Feeling better is not actually being better. ~ James Randi
Being Better quotes by James Randi
No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle and good, without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness. ~ Alan Alda
Being Better quotes by Alan Alda
Peace with non-fundamentalists terrifies the fundamentalist because to them, being Christian doesn't mean just being 'good' - it means being 'better' than others. Being better that others means having to see them as enemies - and making war on them. The fundamentalist views not being allowed to make war on their enemies as oppression of their faith, or defeat. ~ Christina Engela
Being Better quotes by Christina Engela
Your only nobility is being better than who you were yesterday. ~ Harry Wong
Being Better quotes by Harry Wong
As a result, the highly civilized man can endure incomparably more than the savage, whether of moral or physical strain. Being better able to control himself under all circumstances, he has a great advantage over the savage. ~ Lafcadio Hearn
Being Better quotes by Lafcadio Hearn
I believe that I was lucky to have suffered.
Some people don't realize that in suffering there is great potential, because if you are deprived for any reason.
Politically, financially, socially or otherwise and if you set your mind in the right direction, you will find that the only way to survive is for you to excel, by being better so you can be treated better. ~ Talal Abu-Ghazaleh
Being Better quotes by Talal Abu-Ghazaleh
Our main problem is deciding how to spend this one and only precious life that we have been gifted...
Shall we spend it trying to look good - trying to create the illusion of being better, stronger or smarter than others, or of having power and control over people and life's circumstances?
Or shall we let go and humble ourselves - so we can truly taste life, enjoy it, share it, own it and fully appreciate it?
Its a very personal choice. Let's choose wisely! ~ Jose N Harris
Being Better quotes by Jose N Harris
People will always respect you when you're in the process of being better. ~ Marshall Sylver
Being Better quotes by Marshall Sylver
Let's order too much of something just to see where our limits are. Let's take a chance precisely because it might fail. Let's take the hard way out. Let's go to the moon. Fuck it; let's go to the moon again. Let's quit our jobs. Let's work at being better at what we do by fucking up faster, not less. Let's fuck up really fast. Let's wrestle sharks, fight monsters, and disagree with the board. Let's borrow so much money it becomes someone else's problem. Let's start a 10-hour drive by announcing "I'm not into you anymore." Let's dump everything out of the garage onto the sidewalk and build something really cool in that space. Let's start out to build a better mousetrap, and halfway there let's decide to jump on the mice's team. ~ Mike Monteiro
Being Better quotes by Mike Monteiro
Apparently the Dutch now prided themselves on being better at queues than the English, which was absurd, because standing cheerfully in line was the English national sport. ~ Orson Scott Card
Being Better quotes by Orson Scott Card
I explained my whole theory about parenting being better if it was like a large Italian family having dinner under a tree while children play. Rebecca poured more wine and explained her theory of child-rearing, which is that you should behave as badly as possible so that the children will rebel against you and turn out like Saffron in Absolutely Fabulous. ~ Helen Fielding
Being Better quotes by Helen Fielding
He who stops being better stops being good. ~ Oliver Cromwell
Being Better quotes by Oliver Cromwell
The people who are your friends before you got the crown are the people who are going to be your best friends no matter what. Because they are the ones who love you for you-in all your geekiness- and not because of what they can get out of you. Weirdly, in some instances, even the people who were your enemies before you got famous can end up being better friends to you become friends with after you become famous. And even when those friends get mad at you, you still need them, even more than ever. Because they are the people who are willing to tell you the truth. ~ Meg Cabot
Being Better quotes by Meg Cabot
Do you know what it's like going through life being better than everybody? It's hard. ~ CM Punk
Being Better quotes by CM Punk
DEADENLOVE

We are naked and exact

Tânia Tomé © Book - " Tie me behind the sun" 2010 ~ Tânia Tomé
Being Better quotes by Tânia Tomé
Learn to draw quick and shoot straight, - the former being even more important than the latter, - and probably has to take life after life in order to save his own. Some of these men are brave only because of their confidence in their own skill and strength ; once convince them that they are overmatched and they turn into abject cowards. Others have nerves of ~ Theodore Roosevelt
Being Better quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
If we did not have a feminine being within us, how would we rest ourselves? ~ Gaston Bachelard
Being Better quotes by Gaston Bachelard
Those who have tried meekness know the importance of being important. ~ George Ade
Being Better quotes by George Ade
Freedom is just chaos with better lighting ~ Alan Dean Foster
Being Better quotes by Alan Dean Foster
It is absurd to hold that a man should be ashamed of an inability to defend himself with his limbs, but not ashamed of an inability to defend himself with speech and reason; for the use of rational speech is more distinctive of a human being than the use of his limbs. ~ Aristotle.
Being Better quotes by Aristotle.
But oh my dear, I am tired of being Alice in Wonderland. Does it sound ungrateful? It is. Only I do get tired. ~ Melanie Benjamin
Being Better quotes by Melanie Benjamin
He opted for a flaky, apricot-filled croissant and Columbian coffee. Dani chided him for being unimaginative, then proceeded to eat most of his, while ignoring her own.
"I'd be glad to buy you one."
Dani gave him a wide-eyed, innocent stare, then popped the last bit of his breakfast into her mouth.
"I couldn't eat another bite. ~ Mary J. Williams
Being Better quotes by Mary J. Williams
Thus, being the only begotten son of method and resolve, Op Oloop was the most perfect of human machines, the most notable object of self-discipline that Buenos Aires had ever seen. When everything in life from the important universal phenomena to one's own trivial, individual failures has been recorded and anotated since puberty, it's fair to say that one's system of classification will have been honed, condensed to their most perfect quintessence. Or else deified into a great, overarching, methodological hierarchy. Method's very greatness, of course, is revealed in its sovereignty over the trivial! ~ Juan Filloy
Being Better quotes by Juan Filloy
don't pick on people who were already being picked on. ~ Eddie Huang
Being Better quotes by Eddie Huang
You know you are on the right spiritual track when you realize that doing the right thing is not something you should do; rather, it is something you want to do. It is even something you have to do for your own peace, and the well-being of others. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Being Better quotes by Shannon L. Alder
If all you do is work, you're unlikely to have sound judgments. Your values and decision making wind up skewed. You stop being able to decide what's worth extra effort and what's not. And you wind up just plain tired. No one makes sharp decisions when tired. ~ Jason Fried
Being Better quotes by Jason Fried
It must always be on the look out for every privilege being abused, for every working right becoming a wrong. In this matter I am entirely on the side of the revolutionists. They are really right to be always suspecting human institutions; they are right not to put their trust in princes nor in any child of man. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Being Better quotes by G.K. Chesterton
It looks a lot better from up here than it does down there, dont it?
Yes. It does.
There's a lot of things look better at a distance.
Yeah?
I think so. I guess there are. The life you've lived, for one.
Yeah. Maybe what of it you aint lived yet, too. ~ Cormac McCarthy
Being Better quotes by Cormac McCarthy
Studying organisms at a molecular level was totally compelling because it was moving from being a naturalist, which was the 19th-century kind of science, to being very focused and really getting to the heart of these molecules. ~ Elizabeth Blackburn
Being Better quotes by Elizabeth Blackburn
But I'm always being invaded by others' souls so I can't see my own soul very well. ~ Shuntaro Tanikawa
Being Better quotes by Shuntaro Tanikawa
Should the king in exile pretend he is happy there?

Should he not seek his own country?

His miseries are his ally; they urge him on. Let them grow, if need be. But do not forsake the secret of life; do not despise those kingly desires. We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain – money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self – it's not worth it. ~ John Eldredge
Being Better quotes by John Eldredge
I know my own reasons for keeping Peeta alive. He's my friend, and this is my way to defy the Capitol, to subvert its terrible Games. But if I had no real ties to him, what would make me want to save him, to choose him over myself? Certainly he is brave, but we have all been brave enough to survive a Games. There is that quality of goodness that's hard to overlook, but stil... and then I think of it, what Peeta can do so much better than the rest of us. He can use words. He obliterated the rest of the field at both interviews. And maybe it's because of that underlying goodness that he can move a crowd--no, a country--to his side with the turn of a simple sentence.

I remember thinking that was the gift the leader of our revolution should have. Has Haymitch convinced the others of this? That Peeta's tongue would have far greater power against the Capitol than any physical strength the rest of us could claim? I don't know. It still seems like a really long leap for some of the tributes. I mean, we're talking about Johanna Mason here. But what other explanation can there be for their decided efforts to keep him alive? ~ Suzanne Collins
Being Better quotes by Suzanne Collins
It is not okay for someone you like to treat you poorly and then pretend it didn't happen, making you question your own grasp on reality. This dynamic is called gaslighting. It's a common tactic of abusers to shift the focus of the blame from their bad behavior onto the person they are victimizing. One important side effect of gaslighting is having your memory "black out" after a fight (because your brain is trying to protect you from the cruelty of the abuse), which results in not being able to remember how an argument started. You may start to internalize the idea that there is something wrong with you and that you did something to provoke the situation as you're increasingly beaten down and confused. ~ Shannon Weber
Being Better quotes by Shannon Weber
There is a difference between not being able to love, and not having the guts to try. ~ Dal Maclean
Being Better quotes by Dal Maclean
Sometimes you couldn't face the sadness of being forgotten until you felt the comfort of being remembered again. ~ Ann Brashares
Being Better quotes by Ann Brashares
The best thing - in Shadow's opinion, perhaps the only good thing - about being in prison was a feeling of relief. The feeling that he'd plunged as low as he could plunge and he'd hit bottom. He didn't worry that the man was going to get him, because the man had got him. He was no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, because yesterday had brought it. ~ Neil Gaiman
Being Better quotes by Neil Gaiman
In the morning of life, before its wearisome journey, The youthful soul doth expand, in the simple luxury of being; It hath not contracted its wishes, nor set a limit on its hopes; The wing of fancy is unclipped, and sin hath not seared the feelings: Each feature is stamped with immortality, for all its desires are infinite, And it seeketh an ocean of happiness, to fill the deep hollow within. ~ Martin Farquhar Tupper
Being Better quotes by Martin Farquhar Tupper
I want no part of peace with savages who throw acid on and gun down young girls going to school. I would prefer to crush them and kill them wherever they exist. That's not being a warmonger. It's being a realist. ~ Allen West
Being Better quotes by Allen West
Problems arise when you identify with your thoughts and emotions. Try to be a witness to the thoughts instead of being totally identified with them. ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
