You can't expect to prevent negative feelings altogether. And you can't expect to experience positive feelings all the time. The Law of Emotional Choice directs us to acknowledge our feelings but also to refuse to get stuck in the negative ones.
~ Greg Anderson ~
It is not our exalted feelings, it is our sentiments that build the necessary home.
~ Elizabeth Bowen ~
By starving emotions we become humorless, rigid and stereotyped; by repressing them we become literal, reformatory and holier-than-thou; encouraged, they perfume life; discouraged, they poison it.
~ Joseph Collins ~
You learn to put your emotional luggage where it will do some good, instead of using it to shit on other people, or blow up aeroplanes.
~ Margaret Drabble ~
If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.
~ Horace ~
The heart is half a prophet.
~ Yiddish Proverb ~
The young man who has not wept is a savage, and the old man who will not laugh is a fool.
~ George Santayana ~
Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits.
~ Bishop Fulton J. Sheen ~
The heart is forever inexperienced.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~
