All quotes by John Powell: Children Love Today more...
  • Love demands that I learn how to focus my attention on the needs of those I love.

    Love   Focus   Needs  
    John Powell (1978). “Unconditional love”
  • Human beings, like plants, grow in the soil of acceptance, not in the atmosphere of rejection.

    John Powell (1990). “Will the Real Me, Please Stand Up?: Twenty-Five Guidelines for Good Communication”, Thomas More Association
  • God isn't calling us to a lonely, joyless existence with the promise of a delayed reward. God is calling us to live, to love and enjoy the challenge. God's formulas are roadmaps to freedom and peace. God is saying to us: "The only way to live is to be free. So save your heart for love and save your love for persons. Don't ever let any 'thing' own you. Don't let money or fame or power or the pursuit of pleasure put a ring in your nose and lead you around. Love persons and use things." And of course, this is the only way to live, to be free.

    God   Lonely   Heart  
  • Loneliness is the prison of the human spirit. When we are lonely, we pace back and forth in small, shut-in worlds.

    John Powell, Loretta Brady (1985). “Will the real me please stand up?: so we can all get to know you! : 25 guidelines for good communication”, Thomas More Pr
  • When Marconi suggested the possibility of wireless transmission of sound (the radio),he was committed to a mental institution. But people like Lincoln, Edison, and Marconi were strongly motivated. So they didn't give up. They somehow knew that the only real failure is the one from which we learn nothing. They seemed to go on the assumption that there is no failure greater than the failure of not trying, and so they continued to try in the face of repeated failures.

    Giving Up   Real   People  
    John Powell (1990). “Will the Real Me, Please Stand Up?: Twenty-Five Guidelines for Good Communication”, Thomas More Association
  • You have a unique message to deliver, a unique song to sing, a unique act of love to bestow. This message, this song, and this act of love have been entrusted exclusively to the one and only you.

    John Powell (1995). “A Life-Giving Vision: How to Be a Christian in Today's World”, Thomas More Press
  • I have to be honest in asking myself: Do I really want to know and do God's will? Or is it rather that I want God to do my will? Do I go to God with the assurance that I want only to know and do his will? Or do I rather first make my own plans and then insist that God make my dreams come true?

    Dream   Prayer   Asking  
    John Powell (1989). “Through Seasons of the Heart”, Thomas More Association
  • He who has no inclination to learn more will be very apt to think that he knows enough.

  • God is to us like the sky to a small bird, which cannot see its outer limits and cannot reach its distant horizons, but can only lose itself in the greatness and immensity of the blueness.

    Greatness   Sky   Bird  
    John Powell (1995). “A Life-Giving Vision: How to Be a Christian in Today's World”, Thomas More Press
  • Attitudes are capable of making the same experience either pleasant or painful.

  • There is no such thing as a peace of soul approach to religion. It makes of God a gigantic Bayer Aspirin; take God three times a day and you won't feel any pain.

    Wisdom   Pain   Soul  
  • What is disgraceful and outrageous is that 18,000 children die of hunger every day, every one of them a preventable death. That's what the controversy should be about.

  • Growth is always a gradual process, a bridge slowly crossed and not a corner sharply turned.

    John Powell (1995). “A Life-Giving Vision: How to Be a Christian in Today's World”, Thomas More Press
  • When we contact each other, we change each other. We are constantly making each other.

    Contact  
  • Old cranks have practiced all their lives, just as old saints have likewise practiced all their lives. They just practiced different life principles.

    John Powell (1995). “A Life-Giving Vision: How to Be a Christian in Today's World”, Thomas More Press
  • More than 90 percent of all the prisoners in our American prisons have been abused as children.

    Children   Abuse   Prison  
  • A life of love is difficult, but it is not a bleak or unrewarding life. In fact, it is the only true human and happy life, for it is filled with concerns that are as deep as life, as wide as the whole world, and as far reaching as eternity. It is only when we have consented to love, and have agreed to forget ourselves, that we can find our fulfillment. This fulfillment will come unperceived and mysterious like the grace of God, but we will recognize it and it will be recognized in us.

    Love   Happy Life   Grace  
  • If you knew me yesterday, please do not think that it is the same person that you are meeting today.

  • Pain is a teacher from whom we can learn much.

    John Powell (1990). “The Secret of Staying in Love: Loving Relationships Through Communication”, Thomas More Association
  • God alone can make a man a believer. Our part is to accept or reject his initiative.

  • There are only two potential tragedies in life, and dying young isn't one of them. These are the two real tragedies: If you go through life and you don't love ... and if you go through life and you don't tell those whom you love that you love them.

    Real   Two   Tragedy  
  • By afflictions God is spoiling us of what otherwise might have spoiled us. When he makes the world too hot for us to hold, we let it go.

    Let It Go   Hot   World  
  • A person can grow only as much as his horizon allows.

    JOHN POWELL (1967). “WHY AM I AFRAID TO LOVE?”
  • We must be trying to learn who we really are rather than trying to tell ourselves who we should be.

    Trying   Should  
    John Powell (1990). “Will the Real Me, Please Stand Up?: Twenty-Five Guidelines for Good Communication”, Thomas More Association
  • What are the "ifs" and "buts" that limit my enjoyment of life?

    John Powell (1995). “A Life-Giving Vision: How to Be a Christian in Today's World”, Thomas More Press
  • There is no fixed, true and real person inside of you or me, precisely because being a person necessarily implies becoming a person, being in process.

    Real   Becoming   Process  
  • Communication works for those who work at it.

    John Powell, Loretta Brady (1985). “Will the real me please stand up?: so we can all get to know you! : 25 guidelines for good communication”, Thomas More Pr
  • Love is not a feeling to be felt, it's an action to be learned.

    Love   Feelings   Action  
  • Love supposes, is, and does many things, but basically it is practiced in the act of sharing.

    Doe  
    John Powell (1990). “The Secret of Staying in Love: Loving Relationships Through Communication”, Thomas More Association
  • If you knew me in the past, please do not think that I am the same person that you are meeting today. I have experienced more of life, I have encountered new depths in those I love, I have suffered and prayed and I am different.
