“Forgiveness is key to enchanted love because it is key to living right, period. It is the capacity to see beyond the veil of personality and worldly illusions. No one is perfect or attractive every day. Forgiveness means we are capable of relating to someone on a deeper level than the ordinary self. And that we are committed to doing so no matter what the appearances are, no matter what the situation is.” MeanSelfMatterPerfectLove IsLevelsSituationKeysPersonalityPeriodsCapableOrdinaryIllusionCapacityNo Matter WhatCommittedAppearanceDeeperAttractiveWorldlyVeilsEnchantedLiving Right Author:Marianne Williamson

“If a person is capable of rectifying his erroneous judgments in the light of new evidence he is not prejudiced. Prejudgments become prejudices only if they are reversible when exposed to new knowledge. A prejudice, unlike a simple misconception, is actively resistant to all evidence that would unseat it. We tend to grow emotional when a prejudice is threatened with contradiction. Thus the difference between ordinary prejudgments and prejudice is that one can discuss and rectify a prejudgment without emotional resistance.” IfsPersonsLightGrowsDifferencesSimpleEmotionalJudgmentCapableOrdinaryEvidencePrejudiceResistanceContradictionExposedBiasThreatenedMisconceptionNew KnowledgeRectify Author:Gordon Allport
“There is something about the Himalayas not possessed by the Alps, something unseen and unknown, a charm that pervades every hour spent among them, a mystery intriguing and disturbing.

“There is a great need for a new approach, new methods and new tools in teaching, man's oldest and most reactionary craft. There is great need for a rapid increase in the productivity of learning. There is, above all, great need for methods that will make the teacher effective and multiply his or her efforts and competence. Teaching is, in fact, the only traditional craft in which we have not yet fashioned the tools that make an ordinary person capable of superior performance. In this respect, teaching is far behind medicine, where the tools first became available a century or more ago.” MenNeedsFirstsPersonsFactsEffortBehindsTeacherTeachingCenturyApproachCapableOrdinaryToolsPerformancesIncreaseMethodMedicineAvailableProductivitySuperiorsTraditionalCraftsRapidsCompetenceReactionariesOrdinary PersonNew ApproachSuperior Performance Author:Peter Drucker

“I think that it is useless to fight directly against natural weaknesses. One has to force oneself to act as though one did not have them in circumstances where a duty makes it imperative; and in the ordinary course of life one has to know these weaknesses, prudently take them into account, and strive to turn them to good purpose; for they are all capable of being put to some good purpose.” ThinkingKnowsHappinessPurposeTurnsFightingCoursesForceNaturalDutyCircumstancesCapableOrdinaryWeaknessAccountsStriveOneselfUselessImperativesCourse Of Life Book:Waiting on God (Routledge Revivals) Source: Waiting on God (Routledge Revivals)
