Feeling QuotesFeeling quotes discuss the importance of paying attention to your feelings. Ideas without feelings to propel them, will sit undeveloped. Feelings help us unfold our full potential. Tell me what you feel in your room when the full moon is shining upon you and your lamp is dying out, and I will tell you how old you are, and I shall know if you are happy. Henri Frederic Arniel They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. Carl W. Buechner The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Leo Buscaglia The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain. Lord Byron People say that what we are all seeking is meaning for life. I think that what we're really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innnermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive. Joseph Campbell If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds most grow. Rachel Carson Remember, in our inmost being, we are all completely lovable because spirit is love.

Be what you feel. Melissa Etheridge No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or emotional appeal. Marilyn Ferguson Work has to include our deepest values and passions and feelings and commitments, or it's not work, it's just a job. Matthew Fox Every beauty and greatness in this world is created by a single thought or emotion inside a man. Every thing we see today, made by past generations, was, before its appearance, a thought in the mind of a man or an impulse in the heart of a woman. Kahlil Gibran Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions. Elizabeth Gilbert It is the mind which creates the world around us, and even though we stand side by side in the same meadow, my eyes will never see what is beheld by yours, my heart will never stir to the emotions with which yours is touched. George Gissing Enjoyment is not a goal, it is a feeling that acompanies important ongoing activity. Paul Goodman Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear which is inherent in a human situation. Graham Greene I must tell you, at the risk of seeming ridiculous, that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love. Ernesto "Che" Guevara God disguised as myriad things, and playing a game of tag has kissed you and said, "You're it. I mean you're really it. Now it does not matter what you believe or feel. For something wonderful, something major-league wonderful, is someday going to happen." Hafiz It’s surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you’re not comfortable within yourself, you can’t be comfortable with others. Sidney J. Harris Everything we feel deeply must be expressed. Han Hartung If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. James Herriot When you are praising, when you are appreciating, when you are acknowledging value, when you are looking for positive aspects, when you are laughing, when you are applauding, when you are joyous, when you are feeling that feeling of appreciation pulsing through you, in those times, there IS NO RESISTANCE within you. You are, in those moments, vibrationally up to speed with who you really are. Abraham-Hicks The me I see is the me I'll be, but the me I feel is the me that's real. Brian Hill Concern should drive us into action, not into depression. Karen Horney Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. Storm Jameson You are innately designed to use your personal power. When you don't, you experience a sense of helplessness, paralysis, and depression-which is your clue that something is not working as it could. You, like all of us, deserve everything that is wonderful and exciting in life. And those feelings emerge only when you get in touch with your powerful self. Susan Jeffers The trick is not how much pain you feel but how much joy you feel. Any idiot can feel pain. Life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses. Erica Jong One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched out human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. Carl Jung When you realize that suffering and discomfort are the call to inquiry, you may actually begin to look forward to uncomfortable feelings. You may even experience them as friends coming to show you what you have not yet investigated thoroughly enough. Byron Katie Your brain controls how you feel. It’s the biggest playground in the world. What we think and feel creates secretions from the brain which in turn cause biochemical changes throughout the body. When we laugh and play, our body releases endorphins, the body's natural opiates. Ellie Katz The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched …but are felt in the heart. Helen Keller So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it. Krishnamurti Rustout is the slow death that follows when we stop making the choices that keep life alive. It’s the feeling of numbness that comes from always taking the safe way, never accepting new challenges, continually surrendering to the day-to-day routine. Rustout means we are no longer growing, but at best, are simply maintaining. It implies that we have traded the sensation of life for the security of a paycheck…Rustout is the opposite of burnout. Burnout is overdoing. Rustout is underbeing. Richard Leider Creative expression requires an ability to work with feelings and channel them. Frustration, dissatisfaction, and even a sense of desperation may help you access an eloquence you never knew existed. Shaun McNiff In grief we know the worst of what we feel but who can tell the end of what we fear? Hannah More Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself--and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to--letting a person be what he really is. Jim Morrison He who cannot give anything away cannot feel anything either. Friedrich Nietzsche The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment. Earl Nightingale One's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results. Florence Nightingale Fostering creativity within yourself and others revitalizes the ability to feel, express, and act constructively – crucial competencies for our world. Natalie Rogers When I feel the joy of receiving a gift my heart nudges me to join creation's ballet, the airy dance of giving and receiving, and getting and giving again. Lewis Smedes Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression. Dodie Smith Creativity is more about taking the facts, fictions, and feelings we store away and finding new ways to connect them. Twyla Tharp Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it. Vincent van Gogh I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him. Booker T. Washington A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy man but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world. Dudley White Every day, passion speaks to us through our feelings. That’s why when you allow yourself to become anesthetized by what others think, you literally block yourself from living the life you were called to live. I promise you that if you make a choice that doesn’t please your mate, your friends, your mother, or whoever, the world will not fall apart. The people who truly love you want you to love yourself.
