I have a lot of books with some great daily positive affirmations and quotes that are like food for the spirit. They allow you to start your day with something meaningful to think about and reflect on.

I am very much enjoying Greg's new meditation thread but I didn't want to impose on it and interfere with the wonderful things he's sharing with us all there.

Anyone else can feel free to share their own positive affirmations, wise quotes, proverbs, prayers, poems, & sayings here as well, but for now I'll begin the thread with some I like...

~ "The teacher asked the pupils to tell the meaning of loving-kindness. A little boy jumped up and said, "Well, if I was hungry and someone gave me a piece of bread, that would be kindness. But if they put jelly on it, that would be loving kindness"

~ "A good deed is never lost: Those who sow courtesy reap friendship, and those who plant kindness gather love"

~ "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant"

~ "The best way to cheer yourself up, is to cheer someone else up"

~ "Silence is one of the hardest arguements to refute"

~ "While seeking revenge, dig two graves - one for yourself"

~ "Beware lest your footprints on the sand of time leave only the marks of a heel"

~ "Any fool can start arguments...the honorable thing is to stay out of them"

~ "Promise only what you can deliver. Then deliver more than you promise"

~ "A day is Eternity's seed, and we are its Gardeners"

Those were just a few but there's a new one for each day...
