Here's to starting a thread of great thought provoking quotes. Here's one to start us off:

one of my all-time favorite quotes...

~Malcom Muggeridge
little ants struggling with breadcrumbs..
spring into summer into fall into winter..and one day back to Spring again. :HeartThrob:
the lotus flower rising up through the muck..
on and on and on... parables everywhere.
God speaks to all, even those who cannot see or hear, even those the rest of the world calls "fools".
"God loved the birds and invented trees.
Man loved the birds and invented cages."
~Jacques Deval

"We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams."
- Jeremy Irons

Speaking concerning the lie of eternal torment based on self-determination.
"People who do not know who we are
will assume we are more than we are
and think our choices are bigger than we are.
Our finite choices can only have finite consequences"
