understanding

Learning isn't acquiring knowledge so much as it is trimming information that has already been acquired.

To live, pray. To learn, read. To love, give. To listen, pay attention. But to be wise, apply all that you have acquired

Compassion is all inclusive. Compassion knows no boundaries. Compassion comes with awareness, and awareness breaks all narrow territories.

Whenever you can__ balance what you see with what you believe you have conflict.

What we call the Lord's prayer is actually the Disciple's Prayer because It says "Forgive us our trespasses" and Our LORD Jesus had no sin. Selah

Prayer is knowing that what I ask for is always far bigger than what I could ever articulate, but it is never too big for God to understand nor is it ever too vast for Him to deliver.

My father taught me that you can you read a hundred books on wisdom and write a hundred books on wisdom, but unless you apply what you learned then its only words on a page. Life is not lived with intentions, but action.

Old words are reborn with new faces.

There is nothing that we are enduring that Jesus does not understand, and He waits for us to go to our Heavenly Father in prayer. If we will be obedient and if we are diligent, our prayers will be answered, our problems will diminish, our fears will dissipate, light will come upon us, the darkness of despair will be dispersed, and we will be close to the Lord.

Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?

A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight andunderstanding.

it has to be emphasized that if the pain were readily describable most of the countless sufferers from this ancient affliction would have been able to confidently depict for their friends and loved ones (even their physicians) some of the actual dimensions of their torment, and perhaps elicit a comprehension that has been generally lacking; such incomprehension has usually been due not to a failure of sympathy but to the basic inability of healthy people to imagine a form of torment so alien to everyday experience.

We understand more than we know.

True friends never turn you away when all you need is someone to talk to. Ever. It's not the only thing that helps, but it's the only thing that works. Real friends never walk away, letting you slip deeper into the pit of despair.

Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil.

He who doesn't understand history is doomed to repeat it.

Sometimes it's not enough to know what things mean, sometimes you have to know what things don't mean.

I like the sound of words, but I don't ever really expect my slow, slanted impression of the world to change by what I read.
