More quotes by Criss Jami
Those who speak of progression but are afraid of change are self-repressed and therefore unable to reach any further than their eyes can already see.
Criss Jami
I think a lot of psychopaths are just geniuses who drove so fast that they lost control.
Criss Jami
One who enjoys finding errors will then start creating errors to find.
Criss Jami
Love is as simple as the absence of self- given to another. God, when invited, fills the void of any unrequited love hence loving is how one is drawn closer to God no matter its most horrific repercussions.
Criss Jami
Seemingly minor yet persistent things penetrate the mind over time making it difficult to ever realize the impact hence, though quite unfortunate, the most dangerous forms of corruption are those that are subtle and below the radar.
Criss Jami
I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong. In such cases inner peace is a permit for destruction: The unyielding optimist will pretend that the forest is not burning either because he is too lazy or too afraid to go and put the fire out.
Criss Jami
All the good stuff has already been said by someone somewhere at some point in time. You just have to find it. Today, communication pretty much comes down to understanding - saying what you have to say clearly and effectively...and then living it.
Criss Jami
Love does not dwell on how much one receives in return. If there is ever any balance in love, it is in a contest of who can love who more.
Criss Jami
You can't let the truth bring out the worst and let it get the best of you.
Criss Jami
Genius - the pursuit of madness.
Criss Jami
An encouraged person will eventually get his drive from encouragement he becomes more dependent. A person that never really receives encouragement learns to move out of spite he becomes more independent.
Criss Jami
The common man prays, 'I want a cookie right now!' And God responds, 'If you'd listen to what I say, tomorrow it will bring you 100 cookies.
Criss Jami
Women show men beauty in things beyond their ambitions. Women tell men to stop and smell the roses.
Criss Jami
Oftentimes winning can become an addiction, whether good or bad, to the point where you would rather lose it all before you lose at all.
Criss Jami
When we find that God's ways always coincide with our own ways, it's time to question who we're really worshipping, God or ourselves.
Criss Jami
If ever it's necessary to ride the bandwagon, it's done with one leg swinging out and eyes scoping the fields.
Criss Jami
In our worldly perceptions of Jesus, we tend to embrace the kindness of his love ('be encouraged') but not the discipline of his love ('and sin no more'). But with the whole scope of his love, or maturity in Christ, we begin relying on him for guidance where we would prefer him to walk beside us rather than behind us.
Criss Jami
I am thankful when I am hungry because then I know that when I eat, the food will taste better. Life has taught me that my true contentment rests in hope, and the pleasure itself is secondary. It is self-awareness, not happiness, that maintains peace.
Criss Jami
It is never just disagreement but always intellectual dishonesty that is the apologist's worst enemy. And its apprentice is ignorance.
Criss Jami
Trustful people are the pure at heart, as they are moved by the zeal of their own trustworthiness.
