Some personal thoughts and go-to quotes of others, including the Bible (which I have no real experience with so I only quote what I've heard and agree with):
When a proud man hears another praised, he thinks himself injured. -- English proverb
If it is true, as Rohr says, that we get to God by doing it wrong rather than by doing it right, then Trump in a hundred years may well be remembered as a saint.
Where people differ from you and aren't shy about letting you know it, don't run away. Move closer to them.-- Eknath Easwaran, "Words to Live By," October 1
You do not need to believe in God to be a good and decent person...but until I did, I wasn't.
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment. -- Meister Eckhart
According to me, attack thinking is nothing more nor less than self-pity weaponized.
As soon as people are comfortably enjoying the fruits of the established system, they don’t normally want any truth beyond their comfort zone. -- Fr Richard Rohr
If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. -- Gloria Steinem
Loose it and let it go. -- John 11:44
Go beyond reason to love. -- "The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment," by Thaddeus Golas
The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook. -- William James
A man had not yet given up everything for God as long as he held on to the moneybag of his own opinions. -- St Francis
Thank you.
