Death, I've dreamed of it, I've desired it, but what real happiness can come from it?
~ Jonathan Anthony Burkett
I will not judge a person to be spiritually dead whom I have formerly judged to have had spiritual life, though I see him at present in a swoon as to evidences of the spiritual life. And the reason why I will not judge him so is this - because if you judge a person dead, you neglect him, you leave him; but if judge him to be in a swoon, though never so dangerous, you use all means for the retrieving of his life.
~ John Owen
If your life is like a tragedy it is because you have been neglecting something — most likely yourself.
~ Bryant Mcgill
This is why some relationships look so beautiful and some look so tragic — beauty belongs to the thoughtful, tragedy to the neglectful.
Abandoning civil society will leave the enemy in control, not by victory but by default.
~ Mike Klepper
The care of your body is one of the most important investments you can make. What good are expensive clothes, cars, and clutter when your body is sick from neglect? No purchase is worth more than the value of your wellness. Think about your priorities. Is an hour of browsing social media worth more than an hour of strolling peacefully through nature? Is having an unhealthy meal out worth more than eating a healthy home cooked meal? You choose what abuse and neglect to your body is worth it. You can choose to think that love for your life and your well being are worth more than anything else.
~ Avina Celeste
This boy was likely to die soon, but he died yesterday - because of a doctor's arrogance, his unwillingness to seek a consult, his neglect to get a full and thorough history. Arrogance! We are clinicians, scientists. We observe time-honored procedures and analyses - that's how we are trained. And this is what happens when we subjugate that training to arrogance!
~ Tirumalai S. Srivatsan
There is one clear urgency in your life that you must never neglect, and that is — you must be yourself.
The happy family is a myth for many.
~ Carolyn Spring
I wished, as it were, to procrastinate all that related to my feelings of affection until the great object, which swallowed up every habit of my nature, should be completed.
~ Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
I've decided the secret of parenting is benevolent neglect.
~ Barry Humphries
