“It is the attitude of some leaders of God's people; they continually scold others, hurl reproaches at them, tell them to be quiet. ... 'Madam, take your crying child out of the church as I am preaching.' As if the cries of a child were not a sublime homily.” PeopleIfsChildrenChurchAttitudeLeaderCryQuietPreachingSublimeReproachCrying Child Book:With the Smell of the Sheep: Pope Francis Speaks to Priests, Bishops, and Other Shephards Source: With the Smell of the Sheep: Pope Francis Speaks to Priests, Bishops, and Other Shephards
“My mom tells this story that even when I was in the womb, my father played the piano and she sang. So, before I officially got here, I was already surrounded by music. I also like the way my father explains it. When I was about 3-years old, in order to keep me quiet, my father would put me in the bassinet and either put on some music or play the piano. When he started playing, I got quiet and eventually went to sleep. He said by the time I turned 3, I just climbed up on the piano and started playing it with the attitude of I'm gonna play dis here piano.” WayYearsSaidPlayStoriesOrderFatherSleepAttitudeMomQuietMy MomPianoWomb Author:Cyrus Chestnut
“I hung out with a lot of the riders to get their attitude and they're all like men. Men among boys. They have a certain calm to them which is really impressive. They go out there and they're racing 80 miles per hour, or jumping 60 foot jumps, I think they get all their adrenaline out. So during the day, they're just quiet, aloof and stoic superheroes kinda, you know what I mean? They're very, very respectful. It's a very family oriented sport. Everybody knows everybody so there's a lot of respect and understanding.” ThinkingMenMeanSportsUnderstandingHoursAttitudeBoysQuietCalmRacingHungSuperheroImpressiveRespectfulAdrenalineStoicAloof Author:Steve Howey
