I used a quote from Rabbi Harold Kusher's excellent book today in my devotion titled 'the power of pain'. Though you might enjoy reading some other quotes from books by the rabbi.
“One of the basic needs of every human being is the need to be loved, to have our wishes and feelings taken seriously, to be validated as people who matter.” “I'm not perfect, ... But i'm enough”
“When facing a dilemma, choose the more morally demanding alternative.”
“Forgiveness is a favor we do for ourselves, not a favor we do to the other party.”
“Pain is the price we pay for being alive. Dead cells—our hair, our fingernails—can’t feel pain; they cannot feel anything.”
“The purpose in life is not to win. The purpose in life is to grow and to share.”
“Good people will do good things, lots of them, because they are good people.
They will do bad things because they are human.”
“One man alone can't defeat the forces of evil, but many good people coming together can.”
“God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes, but everybody who looks at it sees something different.”
“If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul”
“God is the light shining in the midst of darkness, not to deny that there is darkness in the world but to reassure us that we do not have to be afraid of the darkness because darkness will always yield to light.”
