Quotes on Life, Love and God

BY: LESTER TAGA CAPAS 
 

“Whenever I look up in awe of the skies, I can't help but raise an arm towards the clouds as if I can actually feel them. As I look on in admiration it doesn't take long to realize that they are far, far from my short reach and in reality I can only stand my ground, take a deep breath, close my eyes and pretend that I am up there with the clouds. Clouds in a way are like some people, far from my reach. I can talk to them and pretend the wind that blows from their direction is the reply. But there is no reaching them for they are far, far from my reach.”

“For an advocate of atheism you sure are lousy. Judging people who believe in god as if they are all the same. You hate on something you don't believe and mock what other people hold sacred yet you sit comfortably unwilling to lift a finger to help other people. You are quick to point out all the faults you see but never mention the good that you do see. Why don't you sit down in front of the mirror and write down all the imperfections you see in yourself and try not to lie about it? Things that happen, happen, and you have free will like everyone else. I don't know why things like cancer, violence and rape happens but I’m pretty sure we all have the free will to try and make a difference even if some things are out of our control, being pessimistic and judgmental, whiny and indifferent solves nothing. But prayer eases the heart and appeases the spirit.”

“Some People cheer violence and laugh at sincerity. Forgetting gratitude but strengthening their insecurities and minimizing trust. They jeer at a guy who has stumbled but won't budge to help them up. Mocking and questioning god when they have nothing to show for their pride and cold heart. Becoming less moral and more subversive as clothes get shorter and perfumes more tempting. Then you ask what is wrong with world? People, some people are what are wrong with this place.”

“You can't control how people will change but it is your choice to love them for whatever they become.”

“The criminal is not the person who steals for food. The criminal is the person who kills another man in the name of a misguided sense of patriotism and corrupted opinion of justice.”

“These people, who raise their hands in the sign of the devil, wear excessive make up, sell their souls for rock and roll and whatever they can sell it for. Going around with a silly pentagram and tattooing the number of the beast on their forehead as if it makes them look tougher. These aren't Satanists; these are just some poor stupid fools thinking the devil gives a damn about whether they dress up as a practitioner of black magic or a chicken suit. The real Satanists are the people who use the name of god, faith and country to further expand their power and multiply their riches while other people starve in the streets. A good example is that black b__d whose heart is blacker than his skin.”

Quotable Quotes on Love, Life and Anger

“One of the things you won't get from a book is experience.”

“People who love you for nothing will love you even when you've lost everything.”

“Wit is not measured by how much one can say and argue but by how much of it makes sense.”

“Some of the biggest prizes come after only the hardest of sacrifices.”

“Sometimes I sit and ask myself, when people are about to die? Do they ask in wonder of what comes after? Or do they just clasp their hands and hope they have done more right than wrong in their lives?”

“Right now you're angry but you won't be later. Right now you are confused but it will make sense later. Right now you are frowning but you may just be smiling later. So if you are angry, irritated or sad then keep calm and let it pass or you might just have a black eye later.”

“Why on earth would you fight fire with fire, knowing it could potentially cause higher casualties? If someone is burning with anger then grab a bucket of ice water and splash it continuously onto their face until they calm down. If you fight anger with anger then you are likely going to suffer many consequences.”

“You can't pass your skills on to another person but you can inspire them to develop their own and maybe they may even exceed you given time.”

“Yes you are clean, clean as a white piece of cloth without stain. But add a tiny speck and people will notice and judge you for your faults without looking at the parts that have no dirt. I am like a dirty rag, dirty regardless of how you clean it. No stain can add to my imperfections but though you may not want me, you will need me the next time you make a mess.”

“Don't ever be too confident in your own brilliance that it becomes arrogance. When a good person makes a mistake he is easily forgiven. When a proud man makes a mistake, many will be waiting to push down deeper.”

Original Quotable Quotes on Love, Education, and Life

“The best way to enjoy eating is to share your food with someone. Not only are you satisfying the hunger in your stomach but the hunger of the spirit to constantly do good to others.”

“I dislike conceited people who think everyone else is below them. Even if their brains were served to me on a golden plate drizzled with olive oil, lined with thyme, white truffles, and a beautifully blended sauce of apples, red wine and beef stock cooked to perfection, with a side dish of red ripe tomatoes and perfectly cooked small slice of steak. I would throw it out and feed it to the flea infested dogs that scavenge through waste cans for food. Before which I would beat it with a shovel like an empty soda can. No matter how you serve trash, it will always be the garbage that it is. Their brain on a plate no matter how garnished is excrement no less. Foul with pride and drenched in the repulsive stench of stupidity. Not even a desperate zombie in dire straits would waste time cracking open their skull to get to the emptiness within.”

“If you reject someone's apology because you are looking for trouble, do not be surprised when you get it.”

“A sincere apology is an admittance of humanity and example of one's strength in spirit. It is in no way a weakness for it is proof that we are responsible and aware of our actions.”

“You can't really expect other people to show the same level of kindness you have given them. But you can always look forward to someone doing worse than what you have done to them, intentional or not.”

“Give someone your heart and they might drop it. Hold it with them and it will be intact even if the other lets go.”

“You can teach a man to carve an artwork from a piece of wood but their work and yours will never be exactly the same. He can never make a piece of art with the same effort that you have put into yours but he may one day hone his skills to exceed yours. Never expect another person to be able to fill in your place the exact same way you did. But you can look forward to them doing better.”

“The foundations of our humanity are built on our ability to help and love others in the name of Charity, conscience and good will. Without which you are something other than human.”

“Just say what you have to say and be careful how you say it. Tell people what you need them to hear not what you think will please them. It is better for you to be honest about a leak you can't fix than have an ugly water bill after.”
