Favorite Big Book Quotes 
Modified By CrazyMom  on 4/4/2008 5:13:51 PM)

Here is my favorite Big Book Quote:

 

"When we saw others solve their problems by a simple reliance upon the Spirit of the Universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God. Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did."

 

What is yours?

Re: Favorite Big Book Quotes 

That is a great one! Here is one that I really like:

 

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation.” – Herbert Spencer

Re: Favorite Big Book Quotes 

"I was soon to be catapulted into what I like to call the fourth dimension of existence. I was to know happiness, peace, and usefulness, in a way of life that is incredibly more wonderful as time passes."

 

I like this one because my sponsor read it to me and said "Ok, just pretend like someone has come up to you and offered you a new kind of drug and described it like this. What would you do." I'll take it! I will take the steps!

"So our rule is not to avoid a place where there is drink, if we have a legitimate reason for being there. That includes bars, nightclubs, dances, receptions, weddings, even plain ordinary whoopee parties."

 

Stay away from those whoopee parties!
