Sunday Dinner: Spirit

~

“Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous,

the cheerful, the planners, the doers,

the successful people with their heads in the clouds

and their feet on the ground.

Let their spirit ignite a fire within you

to leave this world better

than when you found it…”

.

“Human spirit is the ability to face

the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism.

It is the belief that problems can be solved,

differences resolved. It is a type of confidence.

And it is fragile.

It can be blackened by fear, and superstition.”

.

“My religion consists of a humble admiration

of the illimitable superior spirit

who reveals himself in the slight details

we are able to perceive

with our frail and feeble mind.”

.

Albert Einstein

“It does not matter how long you are spending on the earth,

how much money you have gathered

or how much attention you have received.

It is the amount of positive vibration

you have radiated in life that matters,”

“Age has no reality except in the physical world.

The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time.

Our inner lives are eternal,

which is to say that our spirits remain

as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom.

Think of love as a state of grace,

not the means to anything,

but the alpha and omega.

An end in itself.”

.

“Great spirits have always encountered

violent opposition from mediocre minds.”

Albert Einstein

“The first peace, which is the most important,

is that which comes within the souls of people

when they realize their relationship,

their oneness with the universe and all its powers,

and when they realize at the center of the universe

dwells the Great Spirit,

and that its center is really everywhere,

it is within each of us.”

“Sometimes that
which we fear
strengthens our
spirit and gives
us a splash
of hope.”
