I liked this one as well. I had a hard time deciding which one was my favorite.Melissa Jane wrote: ↑01 Oct 2022, 14:04 This is a great quote. I liked it too. My favorite quote was from Albert Einstein's letter to Norman Salit. Part of it reads, "... Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner peace. "
I like how if focuses on compassion and togetherness for all creatures.

When we put aside our false selves (ego), we feel freer and can be happy in whatever state we are in. That just seemed to speak to me when I read the book!

I liked this one but it wasn't one of my favorites.Ambrose John wrote: ↑04 Oct 2022, 18:11 My favourite quote is: The world only seems so cold and dark sometimes because you are so bright. It tells me that whatever harsh situations I might be experiencing now, it's not my fault but because of the potential I got. They are meant to make me stronger so I can shine brighter.

I loved this quote, "Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen." I'm currently mourning my grandma's death and this quote reasonated so much with what I currently feel, especially considering the fact that she succumbed to stroke.Bertha Jackson wrote: ↑01 Oct 2022, 12:34 There are many quotes in this book that give the reader a lot to think about. My favorite was "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle," by Rev. Dr. John Watson. This quote made me think about the rude person I may encounter in a store, or the rude customer service representative who appears short tempered and unconcerned. What is going on in their lives that may be affecting them? What was your favorite quote?
