“When the mind remains the ally of our heart, and the gut is the brain's brother-at-arms, we can tackle the challenging situations, be inspirational appeasers, and stay honest to a fault. If we want to satisfy our quest for the 'real moment,' we must be honest with ourselves and honest to the others and ready to reconcile all intricate contentions. ("Quest for the real moment")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Your opponent's wrong doesn't automatically make you right. Most fights aren't about who's right; they are contention over degrees of wrongness.”

“An alarm rings again again.
It's still the same again again.
Still the season of COVID-19 (variant three and maybe four).
Still the season of political instability.
Still so much to contend with.

Groundhog Day Again Again.”

“Contention with all its variations is one of the most destructive forces in home and society. Lying and stealing are only extensions of basic problems in the home environment. Some psychologists of the day would label such malfunctions as 'normal.' 'Ignore it,'they say. 'It's a normal stage which children will outgrow.'
The fact is that quarreling, lying, and stealing are not necessary or normal to proper growth and development and are as much a menace to society as to the home and the individuals. Almost all children have some of these feelings in their makeup. Nut learning to control feelings rather than letting the feelings control the person is the secret to happiness.”
― Clyde F. Boyle

“Life is a race against time”
― Sunday Adelaja

“Contention is a bile that when stirred becomes malevolence.”

“Shetani hawezi kusoma ndani ya mioyo ya wanadamu mpaka wanadamu wenyewe wamwonyeshe. Ukionyesha tamaa ya ngono, Shetani atakupa ngono. Ukionyesha tamaa ya ulevi, Shetani atakupa ulevi. Ukionyesha tamaa ya wizi, Shetani atakupa wizi. Ukionyesha tamaa ya chuki, Shetani atakupa chuki. Ukionyesha tamaa ya upendo, Mungu atakupa upendo. Kama kuna ubishi kati ya moyo wako na akili yako, fuata moyo wako.”
― Enock Maregesi
