Thank you again for your emails with quotes. They seem to always speak to me when I need to hear them most. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
John Rohn’s quote stuck out to me today. I really enjoy a few people and take their thoughts and comments into serious consideration. This quote helps me realize I need many sources of input, even if I may not like the person or his/her ideas. Both types of people challenge me and help me grow.
I meant Jim Rohn.
I loved them and I always look forward to seeing more quotes.
Yes , there should have variations in all fields of life…that makes the life more interesting. But we should not have variations when it comes to relations like husband and wife, true friendships etc. We cannot afford to change it every season….
Once again, I love the quotes, every time I read one, its always seems to relate to my sister – she needs a lot of motivation and prayer.
Keep’em comin’

I have some to share:
I, ever knowing the living beings
Who tread the Path and those who do not
In response to those who may be saved
Preach to them a variety of dharmas,
Each time having this thought:
‘How may I cause the beings
To contrive to enter the Unexcelled Path
and quickly to perfect the Buddha-body?’
Buddha (563 – 483 BC)
Diversity is not an abnormality but the very reality of our planet. The human world manifests the same reality and will not seek our permission to celebrate itself in the magnificence of its endless varieties. Civility is a sensible attribute in this kind of world we have; narrowness of heart and mind is not.
~ Chinua Achebe, 1930- ~
Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was him too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustable variety of life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896 – 1940)
A Garden, an Elaboratory, a Work-house, Improvements and Breeding, are pleasant and Profitable Diversions to the Idle and Ingenious: For here they miss Ill Company, and converse with Nature and Art; whose Variety are equally grateful and instructing; and preserve a good Constitution of Body and Mind.
William Penn (1644 – 1718)
The secret of love is seeking variety in your life together, and never letting routine chords dull the melody of your romance.

In things to be seen at once, much variety makes confusion, another vice of beauty. In things that are not seen at once, and have no respect one to another, great variety is commendable, provided this variety transgress not the rules of optics and geometry.

Our sight is the most perfect and most delightful of all our senses. It fills the mind with the largest variety of ideas, converses with its objects at the greatest distance, and continues the longest in action without being tired or satiated.
Joseph Addison (1672 – 1719)
The physical rhythm of life established through sensitivity to qualitative time mirrors the ebb and flow of water. Maintaining rhythm is dependent on our daily decisions concerning vocation, recreation and work. Using the image of water roots Watershed Spirituality in diversity and pluralism. Life in a “variety of forms” implies an emphasis on inter-religious appreciation and the universalist vision.
Arthur Paul Patterson
Variety is the soul of pleasure.
Aphra Behn (1640 – 1689)
Here hills and vales, the woodland and the plain Here earth and water seem to strive again, Not chaos-like together crushed and bruised, But, as the world, harmoniously confused: Where order in variety we see, And where, though all things differ, all agree.
