Enlightenment is not understanding quotes or using them.
But, some claim such things by using quotes.
It is up to you if you want to follow them.

Better to speak from your (one's) own ignorance and stupidity than quote someone else's wisdom.
This is my very own Zen quote for the day. Probably nonsense but it sounds good.

lots of beautiful yellow/golden leaves in the trees and drifting to the ground this fall
and have been seeing a lot of beautiful yellow frogs recently, on the leaf covered ground, the windows, on the deck
went in the back of the house to find a guitar tuner (to find a D to tune the guitar for Hey Hey My My by Neil Young) and under the ironing board was a yellow frog!
on a closer look it was a yellow leaf!
i d e n t i c a l
so I carefully picked it up and put it outside
free in as free out

Everyone who has come before me .... in the thousand years or so, many words have been spoken.
I doubt if what I have said is new.

i think love is when youre serving others so long you forget youre a self and you love unconditionally the other
theres a story about a family of birds who see some people below them, and thinking only of the others threw themselves in a fire so that the people could have food.

i was just reading an interesting article, there are two ways one is a path of self cherishing and ego and greed and materialsm, and the other way a path of cherishing others caring and loving them. One of them leads to ego, one of them leads to egolessness. The path of religion is not the ultimate, just a path, the ultimate is the golden rule: Love others as you love yourself. |

The golden rule is good to hear but rarely done in practice...
I think it is not practical..

I'm glad someone understands my nonsense and likes my English, even though I'm Welsh. And it's true, I am a rare person - there's only one of me.
I wish you'd explain it to me. Then again, maybe not.
But whatever you do, don't quote me. :)

Yes, it's magic !!
Here’s my ‘quote’ of the day Joe:
We should not
concern ourselves with the question of whether or not other people (or animals
for that matter) are enlightened or were enlightened or will be enlightened. We
must tend our own garden. I know I can’t stand it when someone else comes into
my garden without my permission and starts weeding it, even if it does need
weeding. Don’t they have their own garden, I ask them? And I send them away
with a flea in their ear.

Ooooops I didn't mean to quote in such large letters or shout too loud. I thought the site would automatically adjust text to a standard size.
I don't normally reply to myself. I guess there must be two of me after all. |

Just re-read my quote of the day. It’s nonsense. Don’t know what I was
thinking of. Nobody’s ever come into my
garden to weed it without my permission and no one ever will. They’d have to be crazy. I’ve always had to pay people to do that.
I say the silliest things. So please don’t quote me.

Well, it would appear that I have fallen into self-contradiction.
Maybe I
can learn how to be totally consistent, non-self-contradictory and
non-paradoxical from you – but I somehow doubt it . Lol :)
