A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate.
~ Seth Godin
In every day life, I try to communicate to sacred strangers in the bus, street, trains, neighbourhood, offices, shops, library, schools, university, colleagues…!
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
The most spectacular moment of my daily life is connection with a stranger by communication.
We could give each other a hope, if we communicate with each other in the school, supermarket, bus, train, plane….!
The symbol of the Lotus flower gives a precious teaching that can inspire us to deal with life in the best possible way. Its roots take nourishment from muddy waters and yet bloom in full delicacy and beauty on the surface. Similarly, to have a positive mindset is a beautiful quality; nonetheless to be transformational it needs to be rooted firmly in reality to then blossom with the value which can be created from the muddy problem(s)

Sometimes the simplest solution out of conflict is becoming someone’s friend, instead of saying goodbye forever.

Q: Why do I love thee, O Night?A: Because you know I will never answer.

Out of all the other gangs that were around, you could always have come to the reasoning table of the Rebellions without being fearful and present your case, and whatever is decided at the reasoning table you know that is what it will be, whether it’s war or peace. Unlike the other gangs that were around, you didn’t even know who to talk to. Scrooge, former leader of the Rebellion Raiders street gang that once boasted of having some ten thousand members
~ Drexel Deal
When we are able to offer to the other something of ourselves that can engage, nourish or sustain spirit then we most fully speak. Likewise, the forest is a bit more beautiful. The light finds its way in; reaching out to the ground guiding us to a heavenly place.
~ Ishan Khatri
The act of communicating with one another is the beginning of friendship.
We must begin to speak with each other in a gentle manner.
Love is the beginning of understanding.
Your pain is trying to tell you something. It is not an accident, a curse, or an inconvenience. Pain is a form of self-communication.
~ Vironika Tugaleva
The pain of one human being to another cannot be translated through words and for that I am certain, it will never be truly experienced again.
~ Benjamin Meadows
If someone were to ask whether communications skills or meekness is most important to a marriage, I'd answer meekness, hands down. You can be a superb communicator but still never have the humility to ask, 'Is it I?' Communication skills are no substitute for Christlike attributes. As Dr. Douglas Brinley has observed, 'Without theological perspectives, secular exercises designed to improve our relationship and our communication skills (the common tools of counselors and marriage books) will never work any permanent change in one's heart: they simply develop more clever and skilled fighters!
~ John Bytheway
Sometimes the one thing you need for growth is the one thing you are afraid to do.
So many television marriages -that playing out of lives against a background of the tube.Instead of two lives filing the room,There are their two lives and the eleven o'clock news withConstant commercial interruption.Instead of what you say and what I say.You don't laugh with me;I don't laugh with you.All the wit comes pouring out of the tube.And we laugh at it together.The more we avoid talkingthe more passive the relationship becomes.Television permits us to walk through lifewith minor speaking parts.And the more we fail to speak,the more difficult speaking becomes

Honey, when you say we can't communicate... what exactly do you mean?
~ Randy Glasbergen
True Love… it’s the most wonderful human emotion and one of the most elusive. We search for it, trying to find that one person in the whole world worthy enough to spend our lives with. When you look at the trail of broken hearts, the rivers of tears and the broken dreams, it’s quite obvious that it’s not an easy dream to achieve. Don’t we rightly call it the Quest for Love? That’s why when we think we’ve found the right person, we are giddy with happiness and relief. Finally! The answer to our prayers has come after such a long wait. We are safe. We are loved.A lot of women view marriage this way and I blame that on all the Walt Disney cartoons we watched as little girls. There’s this beautiful helpless princess locked away in a castle and here comes this handsome prince to save her from her miserable life. Classic. Then, after the grand wedding ball, the movie ends with:“And They Lived Happily Ever After.”That’s it? What happened afterwards? Nothing’s mentioned about that. We are made to think that it all ends there, that the couple’s happiness is secured and a given. They love each other, right? They went through all that trouble just to be together. So they’ll be happy. End of story.

Mathilde and Lotto held hands in the taxi going to brunch, communicating, not speaking.
~ Lauren Groff
He sat down in his chair by the fire and began to chat, as was his habit before he and his wife parted to dress for dinner. When he was out during the day he often looked forward to these chats, and made notes of things he would like to tell his Mary. During her day, which was given to feminine duties and pleasures, she frequently did the same thing. Between seven and eight in the evening they had delightful conversational opportunities. He picked up her book and glanced it over, he asked her a few questions and answered a few...
~ Frances Hodgson Burnett
A fundamental truth, is that there is simply no such thing as an inherently boring person or thing. People are only in danger of coming across as such when they either fail to understand their deeper selves or don’t dare or know how to communicate them to others.
~ Alain De Botton
...with electronic communication, what one writes in a moment, eternity will not erase.
~ Kent Alan Robinson
In the early days, I might have gotten on stage and begun to sing as a desperate attempt to communicate, but now I found that singing was both a physical and emotional joy. It was sensuous, a pure pleasure, which didn't take away from the emotions being expressed—even if they were melancholic. Music can do that; you can enjoy singing about something sad.
~ David Byrne
A performance must capture or communicate with the mood and feelings of that very moment.
~ Unarine Ramaru
A brilliant mind was first a listener that observed the actions of the people that loved and hated them, then found a way to express their feelings, when real communication was lost.
Words are the voice of the heart.
~ Confucius
The language of the heart is mankind's main common language.
~ Suzy Kassem
When you're having what you feel like is a bad day and then someone comes along out of nowhere and extends to you the simplest of kind gestures, you feel it so deeply within your heart.
~ Miya Yamanouchi
To pray is to communicate with the essence. Praying is calling home.
~ J.r. Rim
Love is never blind; it sees with ucute clarity. A closed mind, wounded heart, and a bitter disposition surely cannot perceive love's myriad ways of communicating.
~ T.f. Hodge
If you walk and talk with God, you will never miss the direction to your divine future. Be bold and offer your heart to be led by God.
~ Israelmore Ayivor
It is so easy at times for a lonely individual to begin fantasizing about what the people outside are saying about him and, in result, irrationally and fearfully, and sometimes angrily, fancy himself a villain.
~ Criss Jami
Passive aggressive behavior is counter productive. Communication is key to a healthy personal and work relationship.
~ Izey Victoria Odiase
Communicate at all times with the Creator.

Human interaction. The most complicated form of happiness I will never figure out.
~ Charlotte Eriksson
Others hide from being real by filling the air with words; the more words they throw out, the less actual communication happens and they are left with only an illusion of connection. This is the intimacy they so ardently seek but with these coping skills find so elusive.
~ David W. Earle
Putting labels on others creates a black hole of disregard where judgment thrives and schisms deepen.
Swirling in a squirrel cage of perpetual motion, the head-committee meets, argues, votes out the guidance available from emotions, and successfully keeps serenity at bay and chaos close at hand.
