Composure

Inspiration.      Post by David Joel Miller.

“The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.”

― Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics

“The truly cultured are capable of owning thousands of unread books without losing their composure or their desire for more.”

― Gabriel Zaid, So Many Books: Reading and Publishing in an Age of Abundance

“Composure is the ruler of instability.”

― Lao Tzu

Wanted to share some inspirational quotes with you. Today seemed like a good time to do this. There are an estimated 100,000 words in the English language that are feelings related. Some emotions are pleasant, and some are unpleasant, but all feelings can provide useful information. I’ve also included some words related to strengths and values since the line between what we think and what we feel may vary from person to person. If any of these quotes strike a chord with you, please share them.

Poise.

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“At the age of eleven or thereabouts women acquire a poise and an ability to handle difficult situations which a man, if he is lucky, manages to achieve somewhere in the later seventies.”

― P.G. Wodehouse, Uneasy Money

“Always behave like a duck- keep calm and unruffled on the surface, but paddle like the devil underneath.”

― Jacob Braude

“When the odds are hopeless, when all seems to be lost, then is the time to be calm, to make a show of authority – at least of indifference”

― Ian Fleming, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
