The way to love someone
is to lightly run your finger over that person's soul
until you find a crack,
and then gently pour your love into that crack.

Attributed to Bishop Naphtali Luccock  (1853 — 1916).

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

Belief is when someone else does the thinking.  ~Buckminster Fuller, 1972
Believing is easier than thinking.  Hence so many more believers than thinkers.  ~Bruce Calvert


The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.  ~Albert Einstein

DeAnn, each of those quote is quite complimentary, thank for putting those together. Also, it was interesting to read the variations of the quote attributed to Bishop Luccock.

Have a blessed week.

Thank you John ... and you and yours as well.
It's a great quote ... guess these guys all thought so too! It sure is something to think about (lol).
Down here in the Deep South, people say "be Blessed" and it does feel like a blessing.
I hope the fish like the refurbished stick!
