Thursday Thoughts: Terry Pratchett, Friedrich Nietzche, and Walker Anderson

No matter how fast light travels it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it. Terry Pratchett

The doer alone learneth. Friedrich Nietzsche

“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.” Walker Anderson

Thursday Thoughts: Socrates, Oscar Wilde, and Stewart Udall

When I made the announcement, I said it would be “Thoughtful Thursday” I changed it to “Thursday Thoughts” Same type of post; be cool.

Thursday Thoughts is where I take a few simple quotes that, hopefully, lead you to sit down and think for a minute. Sometimes, I may add my own thoughts to a quote.

Here are the quotes:

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. Socrates

We have, I fear, confused power with greatness. Stewart Udall

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Oscar Wilde

Yeah, interesting start. As always, I’ll be looking to see what kind of tweaks and adjustments can be made to make it better. Anything you want to suggest will be looked into.

Remember one my 100th DGS, when I selected my favorites from 1-99? Welp, expect the same scenario. I’ll pick my favorites from 101-199. Just a heads up. Okay, on with the post.

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its  shoes. Charles  Spurgeon

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
Luke 12:2-3

It’s the middle of the week. I’ve been on a writing tear lately with 11 posts since Saturday. My Wedturday posts are going into November. Oh, Wedturday is a combination of Wednesday and Saturday which are the days I normally post non featured posts. Anyway, I should be slowing it down a bit as I get myself together with this cantata. I have a really cool helper this year. She helped me last year too so she’s got some experience too. I’ll let you know in a post in a week or two.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof. Khalil Gibran

Since an overseer is entrusted with God’s work, he must be blameless — not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. Titus 1:7-9

We adore chaos because we love to produce order. M. C. Escher

Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. Proverbs 18:12
