Animate Quote of the Day

Welcome to these Animate Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.

Anger is something that each one of us has experienced -
some of us only occasionally, some almost daily.
Can we eliminate all anger? Probably not.
We will always have expectations,
and those expectations will often be unmet.
Disappointment is the principle cause of anger.
When we are disappointed, we look for someone to blame.

Anger is always directed at someone -
possibly toward God or the non-specific "they,"
but at some animate entity.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

you must be a person whose forgiveness matters.
Before you can have gratitude for your life,
you must believe that your life has value.

and Honor toward, Spirit and all creation,
you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity.
