  • Words are the most powerful thing in the universe... Words are containers. They contain faith, or fear, and they produce after their kind.

    Faith   Powerful   Fear  
  • Victory always starts in the head. It's a state of mind. It then spreads with such radiance and such affirmations that destiny can do nothing but obey.

    Douchan Gersi (1987). “Explorer”, Tarcher
  • Being 'one flesh' in marriage means that the relationship is not the source of security, affirmation, control, or value. Those issues of identity need to be rooted in Christ.

    Love   Marriage   Mean  
  • Remember, what you continually talk about, comes about.

  • Isn't it grand, isn't it good, that language has only one word for everything we associate with love - from utter sanctity to the most fleshly lust? The result is perfect clarity in ambiguity, for love cannot be disembodied even in its most sanctified forms, nor is it without sanctity even at its most fleshly. Love is always simply itself, both as a subtle affirmation of life and as the highest passion; love is our sympathy with organic life.

    Love   Passion   Perfect  
    Thomas Mann (1995). “The magic mountain: a novel”, Random House, Inc.
  • To talk about the need for perfection in man is to talk about the need for another species. The essence of man is imperfection. Imperfection and blazing contradictions-between mixed good and evil, altruism and selfishness, cooperativeness and combativeness, optimism and fatalism, affirmation and negation.

    Men   Essence   Optimism  
    Norman Cousins (1953). “Who Speaks for Man?”, New York : Macmillan
  • Maybe the American Dream is too rich for us now in the U.S. Maybe we're losing it because we are not like our Swedish grandmother who came across the plains, hacked down the trees, and took the Spanish words she encountered and made them hers. Now her great-great-grandchildren sit terrified, wondering what to do with all these Mexicans. The American Dream is an impossible affirmation of possibility. And maybe native-born Americans don't have it anymore. Maybe it has run through their fingers.

  • An affirmation states that a goal is already happening. I'm not crazy about this because, often when we affirm something that is not yet real, the little voice in our head usually responds with This isn't true, this is BS...On the other hand, a declaration is not saying something is true, it's saying we have an intention of doing or being something. This is a position the little voice can buy, because we're not stating it's true right now, but again, it's an intention for us ion the future.

    Crazy   Real   Hands  
    T. Harv Eker (2009). “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth”, p.16, Harper Collins
  • When the words ‘like a girl’ are used to mean something bad, it is profoundly disempowering. I am proud to partner with Always to shed light on how this simple phrase can have a significant and long-lasting impact on girls and women. I am excited to be a part of the movement to redefine ‘like a girl’ into a positive affirmation.

    Girl   Mean   Simple  
  • Affirmation of the world, which means affirmation of the will-to-live that manifests itself around me, is only possible if I devote myself to other life.

    Albert Schweitzer (1929). “Civilization and Ethics”
  • I am not a positivist. Positivism states that what cannot be observed does not exist. This conception is scientifically indefensible, for it is impossible to make valid affirmations of what people 'can' or 'cannot' observe. One would have to say 'only what we observe exists,' which is obviously false.

    People   Doe   Impossible  
    Albert Einstein (2010). “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein”, p.395, Princeton University Press
  • However much some journalists may criticize me, I know that I look, feel, and behave several decades younger than my actual age, and much of that is because I believe you are what you think you are. This is called positive affirmation, and it's a really strong tool.

    Joan Collins (2006). “The Art of Living Well: Looking Good, Feeling Great”, Sourcebooks Incorporated
  • If you're in music for the right reasons, you don't pay much attention to the grueling industry. For sure, it's great to have your work appreciated, but it should never be the driving factor. If you don't depend solely on affirmation from the industry to continue to find love in what you do, then you can have as along of a career as you want. I've always been in this for the music and that won't change.

  • When affirmation and negation came into being, Tao faded. After Tao faded, then came one-sided attachments.

  • Of course, even the general designation 'religious' includes various basic ideas or convictions, for example, the indestructibility of the soul, the eternity of its existence, the existence of a higher being, etc. But all these ideas, regardless of how convincing they may be for the individual, are submitted to the critical examination of this individual and hence to a fluctuating affirmation or negation until emotional divination or knowledge assumes the binding force of apodictic faith.

  • Affirmation literally means to validate or confirm. So when we think a thought over and over again, we are validating or confirming it as the truth.

    Robert Anthony (2004). “Beyond Positive Thinking: A No-Nonsense Formula for Getting the Results You Want”, p.76, Morgan James Publishing
  • We are always boosting or trying to prop up the ego by fulfilling some desire or other, and always craving affirmation from the outside.

    Ego   Desire   Trying  
    "'The Buddha' & the End of Human Suffering/Pankaj Mishra in Kathmandu, Nepal". Interview with Felix Holmgren, www.livefromplanetearth.org. 2008.

  • Every thought we think and every word we speak is an affirmation of what we believe about life and it's the same with magnetism.

  • Real greatness is often humble, simple, and unobtrusive. It is not easy to trust ourselves and our actions without public affirmation. Some of the greatest works of art and the most important works of peace were created by people who had no need for the limelight. They knew that what they were doing was their call, and they did it with great patience, perseverance, and love.

    Perseverance   Art   Real  
  • Nevertheless, the central affirmation of the Reformation stands: through no merit of ours, but by his mercy, WE HAVE BEEN RESTORED to a right relationship with God through the life, death, and resurrection of his beloved Son. This is the Good News, the gospel of Grace

    Son   Grace   Merit  
    Brennan Manning (2008). “The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out”, p.16, Multnomah
  • The emancipation of women is practically the greatest egoistic movement of the nineteenth century, and the most intense affirmation of the right of the self that history has yet seen.

    Ellen Key (2016). “The century of the child”, p.32, Ellen Key
  • Man can change his conditions by changing his words.

    Florence Scovel Shinn (2009). “The Game of Life and How to Play It”, p.14, Penguin
  • I think maintenance comes from a daily spiritual growth practice of some kind: prayer, meditation, affirmations. Something that keeps you in the consciousness of higher thoughts and energy. That's also how you make sure you don't do it again.

  • Art is an affirmation of life, a rebuttal of death. And here we blunder into paradox again, for during the creation of any form of art, art which affirms the value and the holiness of life, the artist must die. To serve a work of art, great or small, is to die, to die to self.

    Art   Self   Holiness  
  • I would far rather add a character who generates strong feelings than someone who just kind of floats along, generating medium-warmth smiles of gentle affirmation.

    "‘Parks and Recreation’ Mike Schur on the eventful season finale". Interview With Alan Sepinwall, uproxx.com. April 24, 2014.
  • Most of us have lost that sense of unity of biosphere and humanity which would bind and reassure us all with an affirmation of beauty. Most of us do not today believe that whatever the ups and down of detail within our limited experience, the larger whole is primarily beautiful.

  • Nevertheless, what was made in the hope of transforming the world need not be rejected because it failed to do so – otherwise, one would also have to throw out a good deal of the greatest painting and poetry of the nineteenth century. An objective political failure can still work as a model of intellectual affirmation or dissent.

    Robert Hughes (2013). “The Shock of the New”, Knopf
  • Current nationalism is merely the affirmation of the right of colonial elites to repeat historyand follow the road travelled by the rich toward the universal consumption of internationally marketed packages, a road which can ultimately lead only to universal pollution and universal frustration.

    Ivan Illich, Lionel Rubinoff (1971). “Tradition and Revolution”, Macmillan of Canada ; New York : St. Martin's Press
  • You affect your subconscious mind by verbal repetition.

    "Heal Yourself: Drug-Free Healing By the Power of New Science & Ancient Wisdom". Book by Phyllis Reardon (p. 53), January 16, 2014.
