Please enjoy these quotes about Scratch from my collection of quotes and sayings.
If something is important to you,
attend to it immediately, and regularly.
If something is not really important to you,
that's great also -
just scratch it off your to-do list forever,
and never worry about it again.
Choose how you invest your time, and honor your choices.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.
- Ogden Nash
Patience is an ever present alternative
to the mind's endemic restlessness and impatience.
Scratch the surface of impatience and what you will find
lying beneath it, subtly or not so subtly, is anger.
It's the strong energy of not wanting things to be the way they are
and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it.
This doesn't mean you can't hurry when you have to.
It is possible even to hurry patiently, mindfully,
moving fast because you have chosen to.
- Jon Kabat-Zinn
Our faith gives us knowledge of something better.
- E. F. Schumacher

Loneliness is not what it seems.
One does not feel lonely because one is alone,
but because of a feeling of lack -
a feeling that something is missing.

of how many other humans are around.
It has much more to do with one's self-esteem -
one's sense of inherent worth.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
To oppose something is to maintain it.
- Ursula K. Le Guin

I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

When you see something done,
know that you intended it.
If you don't like what you see,
then deeply examine your intentions.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Always question WHY you are doing something.
Is it a free-will gift or an obligation?
That which is done out of a feeling of obligation
is unworkable as a substitute for a gift.
Obligation creates a feeling of resentment on your part,
and evokes resentment rather than gratitude
on the part of the recipient.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
You can't do anything about the length of your life,
but you can do something about its width and depth.
- Evan Esar
Unless you try to do something
beyond what you have already mastered,
you will never grow.

When a person doesn't have gratitude,
something is missing in his or her humanity.
A person can almost be defined by
his or her attitude toward gratitude.
- Elie Wiesel
In times of great stress or adversity,
it's always best to keep busy,
to plow your anger and your energy
into something positive.

If you can't change it, change your attitude

But rather something to be achieved.

We never NEED anything; we never NEED to do something.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Stand up to your obstacles

You will find that they haven't
half the strength you think they have.
- Norman Vincent Peale
If you love something, set it free;

if it doesn't, it never was.

Expectation (demand) is always a cause of suffering.
Rather than "expecting" to be repaid
when we "loan" something to someone,
consider the "loans" we make to be forward payments
for the "loans" we received from
our ancestors, nurturers and others.
Request that any "loan" that we make be repaid FORWARD,
when the recipient is able,
and then completely forget about the "loan."
It is no longer our business if, when, or how
the "loan" is repaid - or is not repaid.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Praying is important when you wake up

feeling sick from eating something dumb the day before.

(it really is something separate from yourself).

"My life begins TODAY.
I am like a newborn.
I have what I have today;
I have my fingers, my toes,
some people in my life,
some material and financial state.
Yesterday is only a dream -
perhaps a nightmare,
perhaps a cherished memory,
but only a dream - nothing more.
I will make all decisions and actions based solely
on what I have today as a starting point."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

touch a new fear, a new anger,

find an ample measure of my own joy.
