Brene Brown Quotes

Compassion is not a virtue–it is a commitment.  It’s not something we have or don’t have–it’s something we choose to practice.

What we know matters but who we are matters more.

Brene Brown (born 1965) is an American researcher and author.  Much of her work has studied courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy.

Haim Ginott Quotes

Empathy, a parent’s ability to understand what a child is feeling, is an important and valuable ingredient of child rearing.

It is said that nature always sides with the hidden flaw.  Teachers have the opposite role; to side with the hidden asset, to minimize a child’s deficiencies, intensify his experience, and enlarge his life.

Haim Ginott (1922-1973) was an Israeli-born school teacher and child psychologist.  He pioneered techniques about how to converse with children.

Time’s New Lease

Photo by Rafael Minguet Delgado on Pexels.com

Sunrise brightens this day

Framing with precious light

Adventure comes this way

Guiding morning’s delights

 

Clearest blue sky above

Releasing gentle voice

Blessed with Creator’s love

Calling self to rejoice

 

Stillness of ocean’s breeze

Finding life’s missing piece

Each hour dissolves unease

Unlocking time’s new lease

 

Peaceful waters spread out

Prevailing winds called forth

Navigation’s new route

Setting compass true north

W. Somerset Maugham Quotes

You cannot write well or much (and I venture the opinion that you cannot write well unless you write much) unless you form a habit.

Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young.

W. (William) Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was a French-born English writer.  His writings published quite an impressive collection of short stories, novels, and plays.
