Mark Twain inspirational quote: Always do right…

“Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”

~ Mark Twain

I love Mark Twain–his tongue-in-cheek pronouncements, his outrageous books, such as Letters from Earth.

Video: Children remember past lives – Reincarnation research by Ian Stevenson

Children can have verifiable past life memories that can be independently corroborated. They can present specific names, places and events that they never can had a chance to know about. These specifics can be confirmed by going back years in the public records. Birth marks and birth defects can show up in situ of weapons wounds that caused their often violent or traumatic death.

Has your child/grandchild mentioned a previous life?

Einstein inspirational quote on the intuitive mind versus the rational mind

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Carol Chapman at The Villages in Florida

I enjoyed speaking at The Villages. This was a new experience for me as I have never spoken at a retirement community before. I’ve spoken in Unity churches, private living rooms, spiritualist churches, activity centers, libraries, and a nursing home.

The Villages is located in the middle of Florida. Even though it is called, “The Villages,” it is actually a city 12 miles square. It looks like a resort, with beautifully manicured walkways. Golf carts grace parking lots. There are restaurants, activity centers, heated outdoor pools, golf clubs, and many fit, attractive-looking seniors walking around.

I had a rapt, engaged audience and enjoyed being there very much.

My visit to The Villages was part of my southeast tour in which I am speaking on Have Your Heart’s Desire, inspired by my latest book of the same name.

Inspirational quote: “Oh, Great Spirit…” by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark

“Oh, Great Spirit

Whose voice I hear in the winds,

And whose breath gives life to all the world,

Hear me, I am small and weak,

I need your strength and wisdom…”

~Translation by Chief Yellow Lark, Lakota Sioux, 1887

Inspirational quote: Oscar Wilde on beauty . . .

“I have found that all ugly things are made by those who strive to make something beautiful, and that all beautiful things are made by those who strive to make something useful.”

~ Oscar Wilde

What is he talking about? It’s a nice quote, and certainly, it makes you think. But, really? What about Greek statues? They are perfectly beautiful, and they were not made to be useful.

Oscar Wilde must have had something in mind when he wrote this.
