['Percolating thoughts' is an on-going collection of quotes I have found and gained wisdom from. These are the ones that I've recently discovered and that I'm currently sitting with and reflecting on...]
“Compassion for the other comes out of our ability to accept ourselves. Until we realize both our own weaknesses and our own privileges, we can never tolerate lack of status and depth of weakness in the other.”
-Joan Chittister
"Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul."
-Mother Teresa
"Your attitude about who you are and what you have is a very little thing that makes a very big difference."
-Theodore Roosevelt
“The great aim of every human being is to understand the meaning of total love. Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.”
-Pauolo Coelho, Eleven Minutes
