15 inspirational quotes about religion to get you thinking

12/20/2024 by

Looking for some quotes about religion, dear reader?

Faith can be a source of great comfort for people, of course, but it can also be a source of tension between people.

As you’ll know only too well, there have been many wars over the years that have been driven by religious beliefs.

Religious principles:

However, if you look closely at the underlying principles of all the major world religions, I think they’re all the same.

Just think about it for a moment, dear reader.

Surely, all the major world religions provide people with a moral framework and a philosophy by which they can live good, decent, and productive lives?

In that sense, it’s fair to say that religion is an essential part of civilization, wouldn’t you agree?

Without a moral framework to which people adhere, then we would be left with nothing but barbarism in this world, surely?

Religion and culture:

Nevertheless, things start to get a bit more complicated when we consider the idea of culture because, of course, every religion underpins the culture of its adherents.

By definition, culture is simply the way things are done around here. And things are done differently wherever we go.

So, culture introduces differences between groups of people, and of course, human beings often struggle to accept differences.

Our need for security:

That’s quite natural if you think about it.

You see, one of the most fundamental human needs is the need to feel secure. If we don’t feel secure, it can very quickly drain our energy and put us constantly on edge.

Human beings are programmed with a survival instinct, and if we feel insecure, we’re constantly on our guard, alert to every danger. This is linked to our ‘fight or flight‘ instinct.

The problem with differences between people is that they tend to make people feel insecure, which creates obvious tension.

Coupled with the emotional bond people feel towards their religious identity, this can create significant tensions between groups of people.

The result has often been war, and there have been numerous examples of this throughout the ages, and this continues to this day.

In reality, we’re all just people:

All too often we focus on our differences when, in fact, we’re all much more alike than we would care to admit.

Think about it. We eat, we sleep, we laugh, we cry; we all go to the toilet occasionally; we all seek prosperity, and we want a better world for our children. If you travel to any place, you’ll find we all have those things in common.

My point here is that, if only we could focus more on those things we all have in common, perhaps the world would be a much better place. Would you agree, dear reader? I hope so.

However, while you’re considering that question, here are 15 inspirational quotes about religion to get you thinking.

Quotes about religion:

Toleration is the best religion. ~Victor Hugo

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. ~Dalai Lama

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. ~Buddha

I am thankful I can see much to admire in all religions. ~Alfred Russel Wallace

Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. ~Napoleon Bonaparte

Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays. ~Soren Kierkegaard

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair. ~Gilbert K. Chesterton

All religions must be tolerated, for every man must get to heaven in his own way. ~Epictetus

When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that’s my religion. ~Abraham Lincoln

Religion is the idol of the mob; it adores everything it does not understand. ~Frederick the Great

The more I study religions, the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself. ~Richard Burton

Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time. ~Richard Dawkins

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. ~Galileo Galilei

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, and pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit. ~Khalil Gibran

It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui. ~Helen Keller

21 excellent philosophical quotes about getting old

12/19/2024 by

If you’re looking for some philosophical quotes about getting old, I’ve curated 21 little gems for you today.

They all reflect on the ageing process and put it into perspective.

Yes, as we age, we experience more aches and pains and slow down a little. That’s natural. However, for me, getting old is just a state of mind.

And what do I mean?

Well, we’re all getting older every minute of every day, but do we have to get old? I think it’s all down to our philosophy.

By that, I mean, it’s all down to how we choose to look at things. As long as we can retain enthusiasm for life and embrace all things new, then we’re not old at all, in my opinion. Older yes, but not old.

Old is when you’ve had enough of life and you’re ready to embrace the Grim Reaper.

And I hope for you, dear reader, that will be a long, long way off.

In the meantime, here are those 21 philosophical quotes about getting old to help you put it all into perspective.

PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTES ABOUT GETTING OLD

Ageing is just another word for living. ~Cindy Joseph

It’s not how old you are. It’s how you are old. ~Jules Renard

Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional! ~Walt Disney

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were? ~Satchel Paige

Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old. ~Franz Kafka

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears. ~John Lennon

Too many people, when they get old, think that they must live by the calendar. ~John Glenn

I have reached an age when, if someone tells me to wear socks, I don’t have to. ~Albert Einstein

Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty. ~Coco Chanel

Getting old is like climbing a mountain; you get a little out of breath, but the view is much better! ~Ingrid Bergman

You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred. ~Woody Allen

Getting old is better than being young. You can do what you want to do. ~Karl Pilkington

You know you’re getting old when you go to more funerals than you do weddings. ~Jimmy Dean

The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, and the young know everything. ~Oscar Wilde

You know you’re getting old when you get that one candle on the cake. It’s like, ‘See if you can blow this out.’ ~Jerry Seinfeld

Getting old is a fascinating thing. The older you get, the older you want to get. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. ~George Bernard Shaw

Middle age is when you sit at home on a Saturday night, the telephone rings, and you hope it isn’t for you. ~Ogden Nash

You know you’re getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you’re down there. ~George Burns

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. ~Henry Ford

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, ‘How many good things have you done in your life?’ rather he will ask, ‘How much love did you put into what you did?’ ~Mother Teresa

25 inspirational quotes about success to motivate you

12/18/2024 by

If you’re looking for inspirational quotes about success, you should consider what success means to you. Your definition of success will not necessarily be the same as someone else’s.

Success for you might be nothing more than being happy and content.

That’s admirable, of course. There’s nothing wrong with having that as your goal. However, someone else might be looking for a lot more from life.

For them, success might be an Olympic gold medal or winning the Super Bowl.

So, before you pursue success, you would do well to reflect on what it means to you and why you want it.

Knowing your ‘why?‘ is half the battle when it comes to achieving success.

Success is something that is desired by many people but that only a few truly achieve.

To be successful, you have to want it so bad that it hurts.

That’s why it’s important to know your why.

If you know your ‘why?’ you will be able to bear any ‘how?’.

You must be focused on your goals; you must be disciplined; you must be determined; you must be prepared to make sacrifices; you must be prepared to work very, very hard; and you must possess self-belief too.

Remember, nothing worth having ever comes easy.

If you want success, you must be prepared to pay the price in blood, sweat, and tears. And that price must always be paid first.

You’ll get nothing before you’ve paid the price.

You’ll find that even people who are an ‘overnight success’ have spent years honing their skills before favourable circumstances provided them with an opportunity to shine like a star.

Nothing happens overnight. You’ve got to work at it and keep working at it.

And remember this too; you’ll experience failure from time to time, and you’ll question whether you’re good enough over and over again.

The temptation to quit will be overwhelming at times. You’ll be constantly tempted to settle for an easier life. Don’t!

Success can be achieved if you stick to it and just keep going. Focus on the prize.

In the words of the late, great Muhammad Ali, I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’

Success can be yours if you work hard and hang on until you achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve. Just go for it!

And remember also; it’s better to try and fail than never having tried at all. At least you won’t spend the rest of your life wondering what might have been.

Here are 25 interesting and inspirational quotes about success.

Inspirational Quotes About Success

Success is dependent on effort. ~Sophocles

Eighty per cent of success is showing up. ~Woody Allen

Action is the foundational key to all success. ~Pablo Picasso

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. ~Albert Einstein

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. ~Robert Collier

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself. ~Henry Ford

Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it. ~Julia Child

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure. ~Mark Twain

Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success. ~APJ Abdul Kalam

Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps, they need to take to get them closer to the fulfilment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them. ~Jack Canfield

At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren’t where you want to be, you will always be a failure. ~Erin Cummings

Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure, or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember, that’s where you will find success. ~Thomas J. Watson

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. ~Winston Churchill

Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation, there is sure to be failure. ~Confucius

Every successful individual knows that his or her achievement depends on a community of people working together. ~Paul Ryan

Always be yourself, express yourself, and have faith in yourself; do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. ~Bruce Lee

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will. ~Vince Lombardi

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers, you cannot be successful or happy. ~Norman Vincent Peale

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. ~Vince Lombardi

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. ~Booker T. Washington

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father, a good teammate, a good role model? There’s that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not? ~LeBron James

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose. ~Bill Gates

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom. ~George S. Patton

Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. ~David Frost

Most people give up just when they’re about to achieve success. They quit on the one-yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown. ~Ross Perot

15 witty quotes by Joan Rivers to raise a smile

12/02/2024 by

To comedy lovers everywhere, the late Joan Alexandra Molinsky is better known as the legendary Joan Rivers.

Razor-sharp and very funny, Joan Rivers was arguably one of the finest American stand-up comedians of all time in what was probably the golden age of light entertainment.

Through the strength of her personality, she succeeded in an age when it was even tougher for a woman to get a break in an industry dominated by powerful men. In that, she remains a role model for women everywhere.

Joan Rivers pioneered her brand of irreverent, unconventional comedy, and her relentless work ethic allowed her comedy to evolve and her audiences to continue to grow. She was a remarkable lady and one who always made me laugh.

Here are 15 witty quotes by Joan Rivers, which will make you smile, I’m sure.

Quotes by Joan Rivers (1-10):

  1. I succeeded by saying what everyone else is thinking. ~Joan Rivers
  2. The first time I see a jogger smiling, I’ll consider it. ~Joan Rivers
  3. My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on. ~Joan Rivers
  4. Forty for you, sixty for me. And equal partners we will be. ~Joan Rivers
  5. There is not one female comic who was beautiful as a little girl. ~Joan Rivers
  6. Never floss with a stranger. ~Joan Rivers
  7. I have flabby thighs but fortunately, my stomach covers them. ~Joan Rivers
  8. I think anyone who’s perfectly happy isn’t particularly funny. ~Joan Rivers
  9. We don’t apologize for a joke. We are comics. We are here to make you laugh. If you don’t get it, then don’t watch us. ~Joan Rivers
  10. People say that money is not the key to happiness but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made. ~Joan Rivers

Quotes by Joan Rivers (11-15):

  1. I don’t exercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he’d have put diamonds on the floor. ~Joan Rivers
  2. I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes, and six months later you have to start all over again. ~Joan Rivers
  3. Part of my act is meant to shake you up. It looks like I’m being funny, but I’m reminding you of other things. Life is tough, darling. Life is hard. And we better laugh at everything; otherwise, we’re going down the tube. ~Joan Rivers
  4. I never dwell on what happened. You can’t change it. Move forward. Don’t waste your energy on being angry at something that somebody did six months ago or a year ago. It’s over. Done. Move forward. ~Joan Rivers
  5. I walk on a stage, and I know if it’s been a good show or not. You know when it’s been a good interview. No one has to tell you. You know it. You feel it. You can feel the air. You can feel everything about it when it’s a good show. And you know when you’ve messed up. ~Joan Rivers

21 thought-provoking quotes about money

11/29/2024 by

Money can’t buy you love or happiness, but it can make your life a little easier.

It may not be everything, but it’s up there with oxygen and water in terms of sustaining human life in the modern age.

Money is important simply because life today would be impossible without it.

There are few, if any, places on this planet where you could exist in any meaningful way without at least some money.

Speaking personally, I wouldn’t want to try.

Nevertheless, it’s important to keep it all in perspective too, of course.

Achieving financial freedom depends on you taking good care of your money, but it should not be at the expense of the people who matter most to you, your loved ones.

As with everything in life, there must be balance.

Money is important, but people are much more important. When we’re infirm or incapacitated, it’s our loved ones we’ll turn to for help. Yes, you can buy a dog but you can’t buy the wag of its tail, as the saying goes.

So the message today is that you should never chase money at the expense of your loved ones.

If you do, you’ll regret it in time, I’m sure.

21 quotes about relationships to enlighten you a little

11/26/2024 by

People! We can’t live with them, but we can’t live without them either.

While they can be frustrating, we are social animals and need people and relationships.

The more we understand about relationships, the more likely we’ll be in a position to form and sustain successful relationships.

Hence today’s blog post with 21 thought-provoking quotes about relationships to help you ponder and improve your understanding of one of life’s trickier aspects.

Now some people struggle to form successful relationships, while others enjoy perfect relationships, or so it seems. Well, don’t be fooled by appearances.

All relationships can be tricky because we all have this romantic notion about what the perfect relationship should look like. That notion may be romantic, but it’s also inaccurate.

Perfect relationships don’t exist.

Consequently, relationships take time, effort, and compromise. We must work at them constantly to keep them healthy and beneficial.

Furthermore, we must recognise that for a relationship to work, it must be balanced. The dynamics within the relationship must be in equilibrium.

By that, I mean that within any relationship, both parties must feel their needs are being met.

Where the dynamic within a relationship favours one side or the other, then this breeds resentment and frustration. That in turn results in friction and disharmony within the relationship, which can be damaging, of course.

No one can have it all their way all the time. Compromise is essential.

However, compromise shouldn’t be to the point where you’re actively working against your interests.

It would never make sense to do anything that works against our interests. If we don’t look after our interests, no one else will.

So here are those 21 thought-provoking quotes about relationships. I hope you find them interesting, dear reader.

Quotes about relationships (1-13):

  1. A dame that knows the ropes isn’t likely to get tied up. ~Mae West
  2. When you don’t talk, there’s a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said. ~Catherine Gilbert Murdock
  3. When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are. ~Donald Miller
  4. The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much and forgetting that you are special too. ~Ernest Hemingway
  5. For there to be betrayal, there would have to have been trust first. ~Suzanne Collins
  6. Cheating and lying aren’t struggles; they’re reasons to break up. ~Patti Callahan Henry
  7. I suffer from girl-next-door-itis where the guy is friends with you and that’s it. ~Taylor Swift
  8. I want to be in a relationship where you telling me you love me is just a ceremonious validation of what you already show me. ~Steve Maraboli
  9. Relationships don’t always make sense, especially from the outside. ~Sarah Dessen
  10. Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike. ~JK Rowling
  11. It’s no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favourite films wouldn’t even speak to each other if they met at a party. ~Nick Hornby
  12. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. ~CG Jung
  13. There is greatness in doing something you hate for the sake of someone you love. ~Shmuley Boteach

Quotes about relationships (14-21):

  1. Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys. ~Nicholas Sparks
  2. I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man who hated his mother. ~Martha Gellhorn
  3. People like to say love is unconditional, but it’s not, and even if it was unconditional, it’s still never free. There’s always an expectation attached. They always want something in return. Like they want you to be happy or whatever and that makes you automatically responsible for their happiness because they won’t be happy unless you are. I just don’t want that responsibility. ~Katja Millay
  4. To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect. ~Criss Jami
  5. Every couple has their ups and downs; every couple argues, and that’s the thing; you’re a couple, and couples can’t function without trust. ~Nicholas Sparks
  6. If a girl starts out all casual with a guy and she doesn’t tell him that she wants a relationship, it will never become a relationship. If you give the guy the impression that casual is okay with you, then that’s all he’ll ever want. Be straight with him from the start. If he gets scared and runs away, he wasn’t right for you. ~Susane Colasanti
  7. Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them. ~Bill Maher
  8. What we wait around a lifetime for with one person, we can find in a moment with someone else. ~Stephanie Klein
