Committed Quotes

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!”
― William Hutchison Murray

“Even when it seems that there is no one else, always remember there's one person who never ceased to love you - yourself.”

“Never REJECT yourself due to the sins you have committed. REGRET will do nothing; REPENT and do something!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“Patriotism is a thing difficult to put into words. It is neither precisely an emotion nor an opinion, nor a mandate, but a state of mind -- a reflection of our own personal sense of worth, and respect for our roots. Love of country plays a part, but it's not merely love. Neither is it pride, although pride too is one of the ingredients.

Patriotism is a commitment to what is best inside us all. And it's a recognition of that wondrous common essence in our greater surroundings -- our school, team, city, state, our immediate society -- often ultimately delineated by our ethnic roots and borders... but not always.

Indeed, these border lines are so fluid... And we do not pay allegiance as much as we resonate with a shared spirit.

We all feel an undeniable bond with the land where we were born. And yet, if we leave it for another, we grow to feel a similar bond, often of a more complex nature. Both are forms of patriotism -- the first, involuntary, by birth, the second by choice.

Neither is less worthy than the other.

But one is earned.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

― Michelle Jacobik, The Path To Profits: An Entrepreneur's Guide To Having It All... And Still Having A Life!

“We felt helpless, and yet this wasn't linked to the growing inequality and social isolation of the 1980s postwelfare state. The aggressive backlash to the gains of feminism and the civil rights movements of the sixties. We needed help and felt shame for asking. We had failed in some sense of an American individualist imperative. We had an obligation to recover. The narrative of progression. This was not only for the medical-pharmaceutical establishment which required our before and after stories, but also for a culture that locates mental illness in the self and not the society. If it doesn't quite work this way, there was no acknowledgment of that. There weren't stories of the ones who don't recover, or get better and worse over and over again.”
― Suzanne Scanlon, Committed: On Meaning and Madwomen

“I may have said: it is the perfect escape, isn’t it? To lose your mind. To go mad. To fall apart, go crazy, all of it. To become a patient. To need help and to receive help. To be cared for. I would have added: the perfect escape becomes a trap. You learn this soon enough. You escape and then you begin to play the part, people respond to you that way, the role you are in. And there you are, trapped. It might become your life.”
― Suzanne Scanlon, Committed: On Meaning and Madwomen

“When used in marriage, sex is a celebration of the fact that you’ve given one another everything and are committed to one another irrevocably. Since you’ve already given each other your time, trust, money, income, home, bank account, schedule, and everything else, giving each other your body is safe, natural, and enjoyable. Since you’ve committed to one another ‘for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part,’ you know that the other person will cherish you and will not just throw you out when you fail to perform to their standards.”
― Michael J Heil, Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose

“Getting older, which isn’t a decision so much as inevitable, if you stick around to find out. This isn’t transcendence but it is committing to life and sticking with it. It’s far more tedious than climactic…I did get better, in many large and small ways, and it is the reading and writing that sustained me, gave me another life. It is my life…All this thinking about books had made me into a person, an artist. This was real life, and I’d worked so long to make it real, more real than any diagnosis had ever been...”
― Suzanne Scanlon, Committed: On Meaning and Madwomen
