01/27/2026 by

Today I offer you 19 quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Jiddu Krishnamurti was a controversial Indian philosopher who questioned traditional spirituality.

He believed that true spirituality couldn’t be found in any organized religion and instead argued for individual self-inquiry, scepticism, and awareness.

His ideas have influenced students and teachers from various disciplines, such as education, philosophy, psychology, and politics.

Some of his famous quotes include “We are not a drop in the ocean. We are the entire ocean in a drop,” and “The only way to find peace is through understanding. Understand, and you will be free.“

Anyway, here are 19 more quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti.

15 inspirational quotes about love to help you reflect

01/26/2026 by

Today, I am exploring inspirational quotes about love.

We all need love, and we need to feel love, wouldn’t you agree, dear reader?

Human beings are emotional and social creatures, and we all need other people.

We need a sense that we matter to other people. And of course, other people matter to us too. Our family, our friends, and our loved ones.

We feel love for those who matter to us, and our greatest love is for that special person who matters most.

Our greatest love is felt for that person in whose company we always feel a sense of contentment.

If you’ve found that special person, then perhaps you should get down on your knees and thank God for the privilege because you’re lucky indeed. Not everyone is quite so lucky.

Here are 15 inspirational quotes about love to help you reflect on this complex emotion.

However, remember this: love alone won’t sustain a relationship.

That requires hard work and being prepared to compromise frequently.

Nevertheless, without love, a relationship has no chance at all.

If you truly love someone, you’ll want what’s best for them, and you’ll be prepared to set aside your own needs occasionally to ensure that their needs are being satisfied too.

In a successful relationship, all parties must feel their needs are respected and being met, at least most of the time.

Love means you can’t have your own way all of the time.

  9. Where there is love, there is life. ~Mahatma Gandhi

  14. The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. ~Audrey Hepburn

15 Quotes by Bob Newhart reflecting his personal philosophy

01/26/2026 by

There are many fine comedians in this world, and many of the finest are American, in my opinion. And for me, one of the funniest American comedians of all time is Bob Newhart. He’s made me laugh out loud many times.

Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon his audio recording of The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, and from that moment on, I was hooked.

This album was one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

Imagine my situation: I was sitting in my car, waiting for the traffic lights to turn green. Suddenly, on my car radio, they played the Tobacco sketch from that album. It was so funny that it had me laughing so much that people around me were starting to stare at me as if I’d gone mad. It was that funny. The video is included in this post for your entertainment.

And if you’re unfamiliar with Bob Newhart’s work, then I recommend you check him out. And a good place to start would be the Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart. It’s still available on Amazon HERE.

However, before you check it out, here are 15 quotes by Bob Newhart, some of which reflect his humour, some reflect his sense of the absurd, and some are just thought-provoking.

Quotes by Bob Newhart:

  1. The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour. ~Bob Newhart
  2. Don’t be silly and don’t waste your time. ~Bob Newhart
  3. Don’t live in the past. There’s no point. You can’t change anything. What a waste of time. ~Bob Newhart
  4. I don’t like country music but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means put down. ~Bob Newhart
  5. People are meant to be in certain places, and I think I’m meant to be on a sound stage doing situation comedy. ~Bob Newhart
  6. The best advice I was probably given and the best advice I could give someone who is trying to get into the comedy field is to take advantage of every opportunity you have to work to hone your skills. ~Bob Newhart
  7. Comedians are innately programmed to pick up oddities like mispronounced words, upside-down books on a shelf, and generally undetectable mistakes in everyday life. ~Bob Newhart
  8. I don’t know how doctors pick one speciality over another. Some you can understand. Paediatricians or gynaecologists delivering babies, bringing a new life into the world, but how does someone want to be a proctologist? How can you fall in love with proctology? ~Bob Newhart
  9. With the advent of cell phones, especially with the very small microphone that attaches to the cell phone itself, it’s getting harder and harder I find, to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone. ~Bob Newhart
  10. I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage. ~Bob Newhart
  11. All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world. ~Bob Newhart
  12. Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on. ~Bob Newhart
  13. Probably the best advice I ever got in my life was from the head of the accounting department, Mr Hutchinson, at the Glidden Company in Chicago, and he told me, ‘You really aren’t cut out for accounting.’ ~Bob Newhart
  14. I just made the decision that I was going to try comedy, and if didn’t work, then I knew it didn’t work. Then I would go back and do whatever. But at least I wouldn’t torture myself the rest of my life, wondering whatever would have happened. ~Bob Newhart
  15. All I can say about life is, ‘Oh God, enjoy it!’ ~Bob Newhart

7 inspirational quotes about life to get you thinking

01/24/2026 by

Today, I am exploring 7 inspirational quotes about life.

Whether we like it or not, life happens to us all.

However, you shouldn’t just let it happen. Ideally, you should be in control. You only get one life, so you have to make sure it’s the life you want.

I firmly believe that life’s what you make it.

There will be times when you cannot be in control, for whatever reason, but being in control should always be your aim.

Not only should you be in control, but you should also be doing those things at which you excel and that you enjoy doing too.

Do the things you’re good at, and you’ll have a real chance of success, particularly if you’re determined and you work hard.

The most important thing to remember is that you’ll have just this one life, so you have to live your own life in your own way. Only you can know what’s right for you. You’re the captain of your own ship and you decide where it goes.

Listen not to those who seek to constrain your ambitions with reasons why you shouldn’t try. Instead, you must listen to your inner self when your instinct says, “I can do this!”

It matters not whether others think you can, as long as you believe you can.

Life’s not a dress rehearsal. It’s the only life you’re going to experience. So make sure you enjoy the experience.

Yes, there’ll be tough times, but make sure there are good times too. You won’t live forever but you can make sure you live right now.

Here are 7 inspirational quotes about life, which should get you thinking a little.

Make Money

Inspirational quotes about life:

  1. Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. ~Omar Khayyam
  2. Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. ~Lao Tzu
  3. Open your eyes and look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living? ~Bob Marley
  4. The truth is you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride and nothing is guaranteed. ~Eminem
  5. If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit. ~Bill Clinton
  6. The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are. ~Joseph Campbell
  7. The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy. ~Helen Hayes

23 Quotes by Virginia Woolf to get you thinking

01/22/2026 by

If you’re looking for some quotes by Virginia Woolf, then I’ve curated some interesting examples for you, dear reader.

Adeline Virginia Woolf, her full name, was an English writer, considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.

Virginia Woolf was born into an affluent household in South Kensington, London, where she was home-schooled in English classics and Victorian literature from a young age.

She attended the Ladies’ Department of King’s College London, where she studied classics and history and met some of the early reformers of women’s higher education and the women’s rights movement.

Undoubtedly, she was a woman who made her mark on life and left us with an interesting legacy.

So here are some quotes by Virginia Woolf to get you thinking.

Quotes by Virginia Woolf (1-12):

You cannot find peace by avoiding life.

Arrange whatever pieces come your way.

For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.

To enjoy freedom, we have to control ourselves.

Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.

It is far more difficult to murder a phantom than a reality.

Humour is the first of the gifts to perish in a foreign tongue.

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.

Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well.

On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.

Why are women so much more interesting to men than men are to women?

Make Money

Quotes by Virginia Woolf (13-23):

A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.

If you do not tell the truth about yourself, you cannot tell it about other people.

We are nauseated by the sight of trivial personalities decomposing in the eternity of print.

To depend upon a profession is a less odious form of slavery than to depend upon a father.

The connection between dress and war is not far to seek; your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.

Thought and theory must precede all salutary action, yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.

One likes people much better when they’re battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.

The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.

This is an important book, the critic assumes because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing room.

It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.

Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.
