Check out some of the Great Quotes below:
"Forgiveness does not mean condoning or agreeing with a horrendous act. It is a decision to no longer attack one's self. Forgiveness is, quite simply, the decision not to suffer. To forgive is to make the decision to be happy, to let go of judgments, to stop hurting others and ourselves, and to stop recycling anger and fear."
- Gerald Jampolsky -
"A healthy relationship is one in which each person is free to be honest with the other, in loving ways. In a healthy relationship, each person's needs are respected."
- Doreen Virtue -
These are just some of the quotes you will discover in 'The Great Big Quote Book: Over 401 Inspirational Quotes on Happiness, Forgiveness, Relationships & More '
Cameron M. Clark will be the first to tell you he is no 'master' at Love, but rather an ever-learning student on the subject. In fact, he does mention this fact in the Preface to 'The Great Big Love Quote Book.'
On the heels of publishing Book 1 of 'The Great Big Quote Book' series, Clark has drawn from his collection of thousands of inspirational quotes he's kept over the years and organized them into over 60 categories related to that mysterious thing called 'Love.'
However, as he will be first to tell you, Clark thought a book of over 401 quotes on just the subject of Love might be too repetitive, uninspired and a little boring. That's why he broke up the text and organized it into different categories that he felt applied to the different areas of how Love is applied to strangers, our family members and others with whom we associate on a daily basis. His hope when starting the project was that the reader would feel as though they were reading a story about Love and all of her attributes rather than just a book with a bunch of quotes shoved together randomly.
In 'The Great Big Love Quote Book, ' you'll find words of Wisdom related to Communication, Compassion, Forgiveness, Honesty, Loss, Self Control, Sincerity, Trust and of course, Love. This makes the book an easily searchable tome for preparing for speeches, talks, wedding & anniversary toasts or just inspiring a friend who is going through a difficult time.
In accordance to the quality standards set by Paul St. George Press, Clark was required to choose quotes of substance that actually instructed and/or inspired the reader. This led to the deletion of many sources originally included in the text, because the quotes didn't really offer much to the conversation about Love.
Along with that stringent requirement, Clark was also required to research the credibility of his sources. The last thing he or his publisher wanted to do was include quotations from men and women who either had vapid, superficial advice or lived lives that seemed to contradict said advice. While nobody is perfect, most of the men and women quoted in the following volume lived lives of some accomplishment, some virtue, had something important to say, or all of the above.
In a book of more than 401 quotes, Clark was able to draw on the words of famous women and men as Mother Teresa, Francis Bacon, Maya Angelou, Dr. Martin Luther King, Dr. Phil McGraw, Brian Tracy and Atul Gawande. Lesser-known, but people with just as important things to say about the subject include Doreen Virtue, M. Scott Peck, Gerald Jampolsky and George MacDonald. Of course, ancient philosophers and teachers such as Confucius, the Buddha, Cicero and others were not left out.
