“An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock; it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.” IfsLifeGivingLooksSelfUseRealityBeautifulSuccessBehindsFrontsExampleHugeMiseryVanityHidingBehind YouSelf AbsorbedPeacock Author:Pope Francis
“I wanted a baby of color, to be honest, because I wasn't attached to the idea that I look like the biological mother. I liked the idea of the adoption being clear; it was and is not something I am interested in hiding.” LooksIdeasWantedMotherClearHonestColorBabyBeing HonestHidingAdoption Author:Jennifer Gilmore
“Honest rejection of Christ, however mistaken, will be forgiven and healed ... but to evade the Son of Man, to look the other way, to pretend you haven't noticed, to become suddenly absorbed in something on the other side of the street, to leave the receiver off the telephone because it might be He who was ringing up, to leave unopened certain letters in a strange handwriting because they might be from Him -- this is a different matter. You may not be certain yet whether you ought to be a Christian; but you do know you ought to be a Man, not an ostrich, hiding its head in the sand.” KnowsMenWayLooksMayDifferentMatterMightChristianCertainSidesChristStreetsHonestHavensStrangeSonOughtLettersRejectionSandHidingMistakenForgivenTelephonesBe A ManHealedReceiverHandwritingOstriches Author:C.
