The sensitivity of men to small matters, and their indifference to great ones, indicates a strange inversion.

Blaise Pascal

Orthodox criticism . . . is a murderer of talent. And because the most modest and sensitive people are the most talented, having the most imagination and sympathy, these are the first ones to get killed off.

Brenda Ueland

A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius, which is apt to be perturbable and to wear itself out before fruition.

Charles Horton Cooley

I have more awareness of other people and, I hope, more sensitivity to their needs. I also find that I'm more direct and outspoken.

Christopher Reeve

The young Cambridge group, the group that stood for "freedom" and flannel trousers and flannel shirts open at the neck, and a well-bred sort of emotional anarchy, and a whispering, murmuring, sort of voice, and an ultra-sensitive sort of manner.

D. H. Lawrence

The man of character, sensitive to the meaning of what he is doing, will know how to discover the ethical paths in the maze of possible behavior.

Earl Warren

Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.

Edgar Allan Poe

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.

Emily Post

In the true sense one's native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.

Emma Goldman

It is always safe to assume that people are more subtle and less sensitive than they seem.

Eric Hoffer

What a man does for pay is of little significance. What he is, as a sensitive instrument responsive to the world's beauty, is everything!

H. P. Lovecraft

It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.

Henry David Thoreau

Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain.

Leo Buscaglia

Hatred is a passion requiring one hundred times the energy of love. Keep it for a cause, not an individual. Keep it for intolerance, injustice, stupidity. For hatred is the strength of the sensitive. Its power and its greatness depend on the selflessness of its use.

Olive Moore

Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect - But tell me the truth.

Shel Silverstein

Illustration

Youth Guidance

Catch the child being good. Tell the child what behaviors please you. Respond to positive efforts and reinforce good behavior. An observing and sensitive parent will find countless opportunities during the day to make such comments as, "I like the way you come in for dinner without being reminded; I appreciate your hanging up your clothes even though you were in a hurry to get out to play."

... and you will find.” Six weeks later, more often than not, the patient would return with quite a new outlook, freed of a sense of grievance against life, and convinced that people had suddenly become more kind and friendly. (4) Science is confirming what sensitive souls like A. J. Cronin have known for a long time—the many benefits of an attitude of gratitude. Several years ago, two researchers at the University of California, Davis, conducted a study on the role of gratitude in a person’s sense of ...

King Duncan

... such as out-of-control viruses, who has not asked, “Why doesn’t God just come down and straighten the whole mess out? Then there would be no more starvation or war or oppression or sickness and death. Why don’t you come down?” Isaiah, the most sensitive of all the prophets of Israel, was struck to the very core of his being with the suffering of his people. Just as troubling, however, was the sinfulness of his people. Listen as Isaiah prays, “All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... baby brother.” “Oh no,” she answered, “I don’t like him.” Well, the parents were horrified, but they hadn’t given her time to finish her sentence. “I don’t like him,” she said, “I love him.” Even at that early age that little one is sensitive to what really counts in life—our relationship with those closest to us. How quick we are to forget that fact. We who are so busy working ourselves to an early grave so that we can give our families all the material blessings of life when all ...

... of you not doing your best. You must study hard, get the grades, hit the books." Do this, do that. Another way is for your mother to sit you down and tell you how proud she is of all that you are as a person of gifts, of sensitivity, and goodness. Be who you are. The parent stands at the door, bidding the son or daughter farewell and says, "Remember to act like somebody." My sister recalls, when she would leave home for some Saturday night adventure, our mother bidding her farewell with, "Remember, you are ...

Will Willimon

... means of eradicating it here. A mother weeps for her children who have died in a Mexico City barrio. "We are really going to do something about third world debt," we say to her. "I want my babies," she says. "Perhaps a new administrator will be more sensitive to the needs of Latin America," we say. I want my babies," she says. "The World Bank has big plans for Mexico," we say. "I want my babies." She knows, no matter how guilty the preacher manages to make us, no matter how motivated we become, the ...

1049. When We Are Weak

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Sermon

King Duncan

... through a kaleidoscope. The secret to Murray’s unique and beautiful paintings lies in the pain that she suffers. Bethany Noel Murray has suffered from chronic migraines for over 20 years. In addition to the intense pain of the headaches, she also experiences sensitivity to light and sound, and distortions in her vision during a migraine. Rather than give up her art and hide in bed, Murray turns her pain into beauty. As she says, “My paintings have been proof to myself of what I experience during ...

Jeremiah 33:14-16

Sermon

King Duncan

... see the folly of their ways? He tried to warn them about the consequences of their greed, their disobedience, their disregard of right living. But they would not listen. And because they would not listen, God had forsaken them. His country was now besieged. This lonely, sensitive prophet could have chided them derisively, “I told you so! I told you so, but you would not listen.” It would be easy for Jeremiah to do that and he would be justified, but that wasn’t the message the Lord had put into his ...
