It is very sad to me that some people are so intent on leaving their mark on the world, that they don't care if the mark is a scar.
John Green

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have powers over instead of craving control over what you don't.
Steve Maraboli

Change your thoughts and you'll change your world.

All great quotes; it seems to me the Maraboli one is a variation of the Serenity Prayer, the Peale one another way of saying something I've posted before--an ancient Yogic saying, I think--"One sees the world as it is, but the world is as one sees it". The John Green quote, unfortunately, is very true--and very sad.

Thanks, Anneliese, for them.

Thank you Anneliese, for the quotes. I read them yesterday but didn't respond right off and never came back. My bad.

I like all the quotes, but this one stands out. "In moments of transcendence, when time stands still, your biological clock will stop. The spirit is that domain of our awareness where there is no time." Deepak Chopra In Scandinavia, we believe that the spirit leaves the body shortly after the "biological" death, so we leave a window open so the spirit can go free.
