Re: Our Favorite Quotes


When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful.
~ Barbara Bloom

Laughter is carbonated holiness.
~ Anne Lamott

Self-empowerment - that's learning to respect other people's music, but dance to your own tune as you master harmony within yourself.
~ Doc Childre

If rejection destroys your self-esteem, you're letting others hold you as an emotional hostage.
~ Brian Tracy

There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity. People who do not experience self-love have little or no capacity to love others.
~ Nathaniel Branden

Re: Our Favorite Quotes


You can't be mad at snakes for eating mice.
~My great co-dependence therapist

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Maybe this world is another planet's hell. ~Aldous Huxley

May those who love us love us,
and those who do not love us,
may God turn their hearts,
and if He cannot turn their hearts
may He turn their ankles
that we may know them by their limping.
~Irish Prayer

Re: Our Favorite Quotes


My personal Favorite

God will never give us more than we can handle.

I never said it (life) would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.

I don't know the author of either of these, but one I thought of myself when I was defending myself against the N.

One cannot defend against tyranny and hatred.

Re: Our Favorite Quotes


Here's one from my narcissistic mother, uttered when I finally saw the light and stood up to her abuse:

"I've never seen you like this before, you've finally shown your true colours".

Talk about gaslighting!!

Here are my real favourites, helpful in many dark hours:

"Take what you want, and pay for it, says God." - old Spanish proverb

"You can't buy happiness at someone else's expense." - source unknown

"Truth, poor child, was nobody's daughter. She took off her clothes and jumped in the water." - Dorothy L Sayers
