Some Words of Wisdom

Today, I would like to share these words from Mahatma Gandhi:
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong""Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding"
" Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony"
"An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching"
                       - Mahatma Gandhi

I love these quotations. Each one is so simple and true.

Peace of Mind

"For every moment you remain angry, you give up 60 seconds of peace of mind."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Mentalist Denotation

Interesting quotation and definition:

"The two most beautiful words in the English language are:
check enclosed."
Dorothy Parker

"Mentalist, noun. Someone who uses mental acuity, hypnosis and/or suggestion. A master manipulator of thoughts and behavior."
This is from the TV show, The Mentalist, not from any dictionary. The denotation is slightly different, but less dramatic.

The denotation is the official meaning of a word, the written meaning.

GAD ZOOKS!! Mentalist is not in my pocket dictionary!

Aphorism

In my profile it says, I like aphorisms. So what is an aphorism? It is a brief statement of truth, a maxim. It comes from Greek.



I do like them brief. You may notice that any quotations I put in my blogs are aphoristic; I do not like quotations that ramble on for several sentences.



I prefer something brief, like: "Belief creates Biology." Wayne Dyer.

Respected quote

Be beautiful if you can, wise if you want to...
But be respected -- that is essential.
Anna Gould

Aphorisms

My father had some good sayings. I don’t think I ever heard this one from anyone else:

"A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.”

And he was the first to tell me the second part of this one:

“Time heals all wounds, and wounds all heels.”

Oh, I forgot to say, "Happy New Year, Dear Reader!"
