Famous Quotes about listening

John Predmore famous quote #48

Prayer is actually setting out a tuning fork. All you can really do in the spiritual life is to get tuned to receive the always present message. Once you are tuned you will receive and it as nothing do to with worthiness or the group you belong to but only the inner resonance and a capacity for mutuality. The Sender is absolutely and always present and broadcasting the only change is with the receiver station.

Shannon L. Alder famous quote #170

Never mistake the uncomfortable feeling of insecurity and the fear of the unknown with the Holy Ghosts promptings. Sometimes those feelings are simply Satan keeping you stuck where you are because he knows you will have a half-life there. He knows that you will spend half of your life disconnected discontented and convincing your mind of what its heart will never accept. He knows when you have settled gave up and didnt try. Inaction is his greatest weapon while regret is his second.

Jarod Kintz quote #26 from I had a dream about you 2

I had a dream about you. My pee was cloudy and I brought an umbrella to the urinal. You were the Coach of the Mens Room and you were giving me advice on how to be a better weatherman. But I didnt listen because I was the arrogant five-time MVP.

Shannon L. Alder famous quote #162

I existed on my own terms. I was different my entire life. Some called me divergent wild crazy unpredictable and unconformedan apostate to the rules of the majority. I called myself Gods creation and found purpose in the madness. When that day came I didnt allow other people to dictate how I should feel or act. I learned there was no shame in imperfection because history had shown being different had the power to change perspectives and eventually the world. This is when I realized that flaws had responsibility. This was the day that I learned I was truly BLESSED.

Jennifer Michael Hecht quote #93 from Doubt: A History: The Great Doubters and Their Legacy of Innovation from Socrates and Jesus to Thomas Jefferson and Emily Dickinson

Prayer is based on the remote possibility that someone is actually listening but so is a lot of conversation. If the former seems far-fetcher consider the latter even if someone is listening to your story and really hearing that person will disappear from existence in the blink of a cosmic eye so why bother to tell this perhaps illusory and possibly un-listening person something he or she is unlikely to truly understand just before the two of you blip back out of existence We like to talk to people who answer us intelligently if possible but we do talk without needing response or expecting comprehension. Sometimes the event is the word the act of speaking. Once we pull that apart a bit the action of talking becomes more important than the question of whether the talking is working-because we know going in that the talking is not working. That said one might as well pray.
