JULY 1, 2023 + BIRTHDAYS +
HELPING PEOPLE in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.
THE GREATEST PROBLEM IN THE WORLD TODAY IS INTOLERANCE. EVERYONE IS SO INTOLERANT OF EACH OTHER.
THE WORSE ILLNESS of our time, is that so many people have to suffer from never being loved.
ONLY DO WHAT YOUR HEART TELLS YOU.
I remember saying to my husband, “Why? Why have you got this lady around?” and he said, “Well, I refuse to be the Prince of Wales who never had a mistress.
A MOTHER’S ARMS are more comforting than anyone else’s.
FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD.
EVERYONE OF US NEEDS to show how much we care for each other and, in the process, care for ourselves.
I’D LIKE TO BE QUEEN OF PEOPLE’S HEARTS.
I KNEW what my job was; it was to go out and meet the people and love them.
I AM ALWAYS GOING TO BE TRUE TO MYSELF.
I FOUND MYSELF being more and more involved with people who were rejected by society — with drug addicts, alcoholism, batter this, battered that — and I found an affinity there.
LIFE IS JUST A JOURNEY.
I’D LIKE PEOPLE TO THINK OF ME AS SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT THEM.
I understand PEOPLE’S SUFFERING, people’s pain, more than you will ever know yourself.
MY FIRST THOUGHTS are that I should not let people down, that I should support them and love them.
I WORK ON INSTINCT. IT’S MY BEST ADVISER.
EVERYBODY NEEDS HUGS. HUGS can do great amounts of good — especially for children.
WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY YOU CAN FORGIVE A GREAT DEAL.
YOU HAVE SO MUCH PAIN INSIDE YOURSELF THAT YOU TRY & HURT YOURSELF ON THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE YOU WANT HELP.
THE PRESS IS FEROCIOUS. It forgives nothing, it only hunts for mistakes . . . in my position anyone sane would have left a long time ago.
. . . I’m much closer to the people at the bottom than the people at the top, and the latter won’t forgive me for it.
I WANT MY BOYS to have an understanding of people’s emotions, their insecurities, peoples’s distress, and their hopes and dreams.
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE.
I LIKE TO BE A FREE SPIRIT. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.
GEORGE SAND 1804-1876 “The Intimate Journal of George Sand”
THERE IS only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
LET US ACCEPT TRUTH, EVEN WHEN IT SURPRISES US AND ALTERS OUR VIEWS.
THE INTELLECT SEEKS, THE HEART FINDS.
IF PEOPLE WERE NOT WICKED, I SHOULD NOT MIND THEIR BEING STUPID; but, to our misfortune, they are both.
GUARD WELL within yourself that treasure, kindness. know how to give without hesitation, hoot lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.
LEARNED WOMEN are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.
TRY to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one’s talent, and one’s inner happiness.
SIMPLICITY is the most difficult thing to secure in this world; it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.
THE ARTISTS VOCATION IS TO SEND LIGHT INTO THE HUMAN HEART.
FAITH is like love; when you want it you can’t find it and you find it when you least expect it.
A CHILD motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame or true dignity.
THE LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE are always learned too late.
IT IS ALWAYS BEST FRIENDS who are neglected and ignored.
LOVE WITHOUT REVERENCE AND ENTHUSIASM IS ONLY FRIENDSHIP.
MASTERPIECES ARE ONLY LUCKY ATTEMPTS.
IT IS A MISTAKE to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. the reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.
SIMPLICITY is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
ADMIRATION AND FAMILIARITY ARE STRANGERS.
TO FORGIVE A FAULT in another is more sublime than to be faultless one’s self.
THE MOST HONEST OF MEN is the one who thinks and acts best, but the most powerful is the one who writes and speaks best.
AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
DAN AYKROYD “Blues Brothers” SNL “Ghostbusters”
WE MUST come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one. There is only one race, the human race.
MY WHOLE THING is to entertain, make people laugh and to forget about the real world for a while.
HEAVEN TO ME IS PERCUSSION AND BASS, A SCREAMING GUITAR AND A BURBLING HAMMOND B-3 ORGAN. IT’S A SOUP I LOVE BEING IMMERED IN.
I ACCEPT SKEPTICS, YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE CHALLENGES.
I BELIEVE that if a man dies with a single penny still sitting in the bank, he’s a fool.
I HAVE this kind of mild nice-guy exterior, but inside my heart is like a steel trap.
I AM A SPIRITUALIST, a proud wearer of the Spiritualist badge. Mediums and psychic research have gone on for many, many years.
I HAD A SLIGHT TOUCH OF TOURETTE’S, which means you talk to yourself and bark and cry out at night.
EVERYONE FEARS the cut of the blade. It doesn’t matter after that. I know the spirit survives as there is so much evidence of the survival of the personality in the afterlife.
I BELIEVE that at the moment of death, that the soul is released in a molecular form, that actually goes into the — the fabric of the universe, the structure of hydrogen and nitrogen because we’re electrically — we’re galvanic, we’re electrochemical.
AM I A TRANCE MEDIUM? NO. Have I got a gift psychically? Absolutely not. But I believe in the survival of consciousness after death.
AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR PSYCHICAL RESEARCH JOURNALS were all around the house when I was a kid.
GOOD WISHES TO THE WORLD!
