Quote of the Day

Timothy Keller (1950-2023)@timkellernyc (June 5, 2023) Pride makes empathy nearly impossible. Pride keeps us from really noticing people, from putting ourselves in their shoes, from recognizing when they are hurting and unhappy. It keeps us absorbed with our own agenda and needs.

Quote of the Day

Steven D. Greydanus@DecentFilms (June 6, 2023) The first law of decency, if you get nothing else right: When people are hurting, when they’re suffering loss or grief, at the very least give them space. Respect other people’s pain. Kick someone when they’re down, weaponize their pain, and I have no use for your moral ideas. (Yes, this was inspired by cruel comments weaponizing the pain of someone the attackers see as an enemy. They think he gets Christianity wrong, so from their point of view he might as well not even be human. Which is, you know. Quintessentially getting Christianity wrong.) And yes, I have posted this before, or very nearly. It’s not a new problem, and it bears repeating.

Steve Skojec@SteveSkojec (June 6, 2023)

And don’t forget your underwear!

Quote of the Day

Adam Grant@AdamMGrant (June 11, 2023)
Trust requires more than honesty. We count on people who live with integrity.

It’s one thing to be truthful in what you say today. It’s another to uphold your commitments tomorrow.

Honesty is being candid as you talk. Integrity is honoring those words as you walk.

Because I live in RI, I must include this quote.

Dan of The Hour@ZJoyfulCatholic (June 11, 2023) Fun fact about Rhode Islanders. Half of our personality is talking about the fact that we live in Rhode Island and/or telling people the random quirks about this state.
