Seeking out Inspiration

Wanted to share some quotes that have inspired me today. Inspiration comes not from waiting for it to show, but from seeking it out. Today I seek out inspiration and am inspired by what showed up.

A few quotes by Alphonse de Lamartine...

1. "A conscience without God is like a court without a judge."


2. "Experience is the only prophecy of wise men."


3. "Habit with it's iron sinews, clasps us and leads us day by day."


4. "Limited in his nature, infinite in his desire, man is a fallen god who remembers heaven."


5. "Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive."


6. "Private passions tire and exhaust themselves, public ones never."


7. "Providence conceals itself in the details of human affairs, but becomes unveiled in the generalities of history."


8. "Sometimes, only one person is missing, and the whole world seems depopulated."


9. "The people only understand what they can feel; the only orators that can affect them are those who move them."


But my most favorite of all...


10. "To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic."

So what I am inspired by is that I can be larger then I know myself to be. I aspire to be infinite in my desires and be closer to God in my actions. I can love for love's sake...
