QUOTES

Sumner's Notable Quotes:

"Living your life through Gratitude, is not one of comparing how you are better than someone else; or Gratitude only for what you own or obtain or achieve. Living your life through Gratitude, is standing still in the moment and seeing that the world would be missing something very valuable if you were not in it." ~ Original quote, from book: the "G" Spot, The ecstasy of life through Gratitude, by Sumner M. Davenport, plus co-contributors ~

"I believe that its not what happens to you or for you that makes you grateful, it's how you respond to what is happening, that shows your belief about gratitude."

"Of the blessings you discover in your life, none are any greater than the other. Each has equal value in and of itself to be appreciated for what it is.”

"When you grow and rise above the masses, you will always become a target. Just as the flower grows above the grass, it becomes a target for the nourishment of the rays of sunshine, it also becomes a target for attempts to be cut down."

"The investments we make in ourselves, will always deliver the most profitable returns TM."

"Never fear having your ideas stolen. Your creative idea is a image you are painting like a picture on a canvas, they may "steal" your idea, however they cannot steal your paints."

"Struggle ends where commitment begins."  (Sumner's quote was voted to be included in the Top 10 Healthy Thoughts of 2007)

"Living your life through Gratitude, is seeing that the world would be missing something very valuable if you were not in it”

"Your 'Self” was created in the image and likeness of your Creator. How can you believe that your 'Self' needs to be or can be improved? Self improvement is contradictory to your creation."

Sumner's Favorite Quotes: 

"Sometimes the dues we pay to maintain integrity are pretty high, but the ultimate cost of moral compromise is so much higher." (Inspiration by Michael Josephson, Institute of Ethics)

"Honesty is more important than victory"

“You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”
 ~
Zig Ziglar ~

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death".
~Robert Fulghum ~

"What you don't oppose, you approve."
~ Viktor Frankl ~

"Your life is a occasion - rise to it"
Mr. Edward Magorium, Avid Shoe-Wearer (Dustin Hoffman) 
movie: Mr. Magorium Magic Emporium

 

 "People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it."
~ Author Unknown ~

“A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited  in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of comparison to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security” - Albert Einstein ~

"Success is like wrestling a gorilla. You don’t quit when you’re tired, you quit when the gorilla is tired." ~ Robert Strauss

"It's not our abilities that show what we really are, it's our choices" ~ Albus Dumbledore
