7 inspirational quotes about parenting

09/25/2021 by Roy Sutton

Today, let’s explore some inspirational quotes about parenting.

Can there possibly be any activity in life that is more important than parenting? Personally, I don’t think so.

Yet it is often undervalued in the modern age, or so it seems. Children are the future, so surely they should be our priority?

It seems to me that far too many people regard parenting almost as an inconvenience, to be fitted in around careers, lifestyle and a burning desire for personal fulfilment.

It’s increasingly common now to see very young children accompanying adults on crowded commuter trains far too early in the morning, as parents rush to deposit them at a nursery or with a child-minder before the working day begins.

These little people will be the next generation. They’re the people who will carry the baton forward to build a better tomorrow. So how they’re brought up matters greatly, particularly in those all-important pre-school years, which are critical to their development.

Make your children your priority:

Is it really such a good idea to leave them with someone who couldn’t possibly have their best interests at heart in the way that every parent should? You can decide for yourself dear reader but I must say, I doubt it.

It’s my opinion that children, once we have them, should always be our priority over everything else.

Their best interests should always take precedence, surely? That’s easier said than done I know and inevitably there has to be some balance and compromise of course.

However there’s no more important job than being a parent and there’s no greater satisfaction than seeing that little bundle of joy turn into a decent, civilized and well-adjusted adult.

I have had many fine experiences in my life but being a parent has been the best of them all.

It hasn’t been easy of course and certainly, I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way. However, the rewards have been well worth any sacrifices I’ve had to make.

Our children are our legacy:

Let us not forget that our children are the real legacy we give to the world. They’re the gift that will keep on giving if only in terms of the taxes they will pay throughout their lifetime.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about parenting to help you reflect on the importance of being a parent.

Quotes about parenting:

When you hold your baby in your arms the first time and you think of all the things you can say and do to influence him [or her], it’s a tremendous responsibility. What you do with him [or her] can influence not only him [or her] but everyone he [or she] meets and not for a day or a month or a year but for time and eternity. ~Rose Kennedy
To be a good father and mother requires that the parents defer many of their own needs and desires in favour of the needs of their children. As a consequence of this sacrifice, conscientious parents develop a nobility of character and learn to put into practice the selfless truths taught by the Savior himself. ~James E. Faust
Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don’t realize what messages they are sending. ~Virginia Satir
There are times as a parent when you realize that your job is not to be the parent you always imagined you’d be, the parent you always wished you had. Your job is to be the parent your child needs, given the particulars of his or her own life and nature. ~Ayelet Waldman
At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child’s success is the positive involvement of parents. ~Jane D. Hull
Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you. ~Robert Fulghum
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men [or women]. ~Frederick Douglass

7 inspirational quotes about fame

09/24/2021 by Roy Sutton

Does the idea of fame appeal to you, dear reader? That is being recognised and fêted wherever you go.

If it does then you’re not alone. Plenty of people share that aspiration.

However, before you chase fame it would be worth reflecting on its nature through today’s inspirational quotes about fame.

Many crave fame and many strive constantly to be famous, giving little or no thought to the price they’ll pay should they achieve any significant degree of fame.

Real fame implies universal recognition; being recognized literally wherever you go, anywhere in the world. Muhammad Ali, Elvis Presley, John Lennon and Nelson Mandela are all examples of people who were truly famous and would still be recognized anywhere.

To people with no experience of real fame, it might seem like a nice idea to think that wherever you go everyone will know you. However, the novelty will wear off soon enough, once you realize the impact it has on your privacy and your ability to go about your daily life in ways that other people take for granted.

Allow me to offer you an example. A few years ago I was in a crowded London coffee shop and who should sit opposite me? Non-other than the legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page.

Now he was minding his own business trying to do the things we all do; relax with his beverage of choice and so on.

However being in the presence of a Rock music legend and icon is not something that was going to happen to me every day, so I couldn’t resist the temptation to invade his privacy with a few inane questions.

His response was polite and good-natured and I admired him all the more for his professional approach.

Nevertheless, it must have been a little bit irritating for him deep down I’m sure. Privately he was probably thinking, “Oh please, give me a break! I’m off duty and I just came in here for a quiet cup of coffee like everyone else.” For him, and many like him, that’s the price he continues to pay for his fame.

So if you’re chasing fame be prepared for the personal cost that will inevitably come with it. Fame might lead to riches for you but never forget that chains of gold are still chains.

You can do whatever you want but there is always a price to be paid somewhere.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about fame to reinforce today’s underlying message.

Quotes about fame:

I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous, ‘try being rich first’. See if that doesn’t cover most of it. There’s not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job. ~Bill Murray
The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You’re in a conversation and everybody’s agreeing with what you’re saying – even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don’t want to hear. ~Al Pacino
The strangest part about being famous is you don’t get to give first impressions anymore. Everyone already has an impression of you before you meet them. ~Kristen Stewart
A celebrity is a person who works hard all of their life to become well known and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized. ~Fred Allen
We all want to be famous people and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free. Jiddu Krishnamurti
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate. ~Emily Dickinson
I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing. ~Angelina Jolie

10 shocking quotes guaranteed to make you think

09/23/2021 by Roy Sutton

There are many categories of quotes. One category I’ve not explored until now is shocking quotes. That is quotes where the authors refer to something which to them is shocking.

Well, today I offer you 10 shocking quotes guaranteed to make you think.

These are 10 great quotes and I hope you find them all interesting and thought-provoking.

Shocking Quotes:

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. ~Aldous Huxley
The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking and scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels. ~Simone de Beauvoir
A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more and amid the passive acquiescence of all. ~Tacitus
To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how little science knows, about building it. Every day, parents and teachers ask me, ‘How do I build grit in kids? What do I do to teach kids a solid work ethic? How do I keep them motivated for the long run?’ The honest answer is, I don’t know. ~Angela Duckworth
The way we allow children to be advertised to is shocking. Eating is a learned behaviour, and we’ve made these kids sitting ducks for all the bad messages about industrialized food. The fact that we allow that to go on is horrifying. ~Ruth Reichl
The poverty one still sees in America today is more shocking to me than anything I have seen in Ethiopia or Calcutta or Manila, and has made me, as someone living in a society of great wealth and someone who’s never had to worry about the next meal, think seriously about what universal responsibility really means. ~Pico Iyer
It’s very shocking, I think, for people caring for the dying to realise how unsaintly they feel, how much anger is mixed up with their grief. In fact, often I think the anger that they feel is a form of grief; it’s a kind of rage against what’s happening. ~Helen Garner
It’s shocking to me that it’s easier to buy a gun at Wal-Mart than it is to buy my record. ~Marilyn Manson
I’d rather get a good clean laugh with good material, than an easy laugh by swearing or shocking. That’s not clever or comedic, anybody can get a laugh that way, it’s too easy. ~Jim Dale
I think it is shocking that 15- and 16-year-olds leave school unable to add up and with the reading ability of a four-year-old. ~Joan Collins

7 inspirational quotes about religion to get you thinking

09/22/2021 by Roy Sutton

Looking for some quotes about religion, dear reader?

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

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

Religious principles:

However, if you look closely at the underlying principles of all the major world religions then, to me at least, essentially 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 actually 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 an 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, whilst you’re considering that question, here are seven inspirational quotes about religion to get you thinking.

Quotes about religion:

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit. ~Khalil Gibran
Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. ~Napoleon Bonaparte
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
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
Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays. ~Soren Kierkegaard
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. ~Dalai Lama
Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. ~Buddha

09/11/2021 by Roy Sutton

If you love the United States then you might just appreciate today’s 15 inspirational quotes from some of the great American philosophers.

Your personal philosophy is important.

It’s all about how you choose to view the world and your role in it.

Never underestimate the importance of personal philosophy in terms of how your life will progress.

In our heads, metaphorically there are two wolves fighting each other. One wolf represents all things positive and the other all things negative. Which wolf wins will depend on which one you choose to feed most.

Feed the positive and you’ll enjoy better life experiences.

I’m not an American but I love American culture and American thinking and positivity. And I’ve learnt a lot from reading books by some of the great American philosophers and you can too.

So let’s start with these inspiring quotes by some American philosophers which I’ve read in the recent past. These are some great quotes and they will help you form your own personal philosophy.

American philosophers:

Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another. ~John Dewey
The one predominant duty is to find one’s work and do it. ~Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. ~William James
Every new concept first comes to the mind in a judgment. ~Charles Sanders Peirce
There is nothing deep down inside us except what we have put there ourselves. ~Richard Rorty
The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself. ~Jane Addams
Clever gimmicks of mass distraction yield a cheap soulcraft of addicted and self-medicated narcissists. ~Cornel West
We have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating society. ~Angela Davis
The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend. ~Henry David Thoreau
The bad man desires arbitrary power. What moves the evil man is the love of injustice. ~John Rawls
I think that every sexual position is fundamentally comic. ~Judith Butler
For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a politician uses the word ‘folks,’ we should brace ourselves for the deceit, or worse, that is coming. ~Noam Chomsky
Education and work are the levers to uplift a people. ~W. E. B. Du Bois
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down but the staying down. ~Mary Pickford
