Anyone who's ever been in therapy with me
will tell you (perhaps with a groan!) that I love
quotes and use them often in session. So
here are some of my favorites from a HUGE
collection I have. I plan to update them on a
regular basis, so come back every now and
then for more of what this therapist says!
And feel free to share some of yours with me,
too! I may add a page of visitor quotes!
See below for my changing list, or see here for
the quote that I think so much of that I've
carried it around for many years. And here's a
quote that eloquently explains why I like
quotes!
I love quotations because it is a joy to find
thoughts one might have, beautifully
expressed with much authority by someone
recognized wiser than oneself.-Marlene Dietrich
You must give some time to your fellow men. Even
if it's a little thing, do something for others -
something for which you get no pay but the
privilege of doing it.-Albert Schweitzer
When you can't have what you choose, you just
choose what you have.-Owen Wister
Success consists of going from failure to failure
without loss of enthusiasm.-Winston Churchill
Our feelings are our most genuine paths to
knowledge.- Audre Lorde
A sense of duty is useful in work, but offensive in
personal relations. People wish to be liked, not be
endured with patient resignation.- Bertrand Russell
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be
achieved by understanding.-Albert Einstein
Genuine beginnings begin within us, even when
they are brought to our attention by external
opportunities.- William Bridges
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and
silence, and I learn whatever state I am in,
therein to be content- Helen Keller
Let tears flow of their own accord: their flowing is
not inconsistent with inward peace and harmony.
-Seneca
As long as you derive inner help and comfort from
anything, keep it.-Mahatma Gandhi



-Life shrinks or
expands in
proportion
to one's courage.
-Anais Nin
