“Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something” - Proverb |
“This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.” - Walt Whitman |
“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” –Theodore Roosevelt

Joy is even greater when it comes unexpected.
Theophile de Viau |
The sheer rebelliousness in giving ourselves permission to fail frees a childlike awareness and clarity. . . . When we give ourselves permission to fail, we at the same time give ourselves permission to excel.
Eloise Ristad |
For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. Fr. Alfred D'Souza |
Unfortunately, all is not beauty and peace. I don't believe I've ever met a person who hasn't been challenged or wounded by something. Difficulties present choices: we can either waste away from our wounds or use them to grow our souls. My husband, for example, is a survivor of the Second World War. As a child, he suffered through six years of bombings, near-escapes, and concentration camps. Part of his soul work has been the gradual transformation of this deep well of grief and pain. As he heals himself, he also participates in healing that terrible idea of war in others. I have always said that no one heals alone--we heal through and for one another.
Joan Borysenko |
People are never helped
in their suffering by what they think for themselves, but only by revelation of a wisdom greater than their own. It is this which lifts them out of their distress. C.G. Jung |
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision. I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace. Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same. Helen Keller |
fabulous, indeed!
“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.” ~ Carrie Bradshaw, "Sex and the City"

"I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring."
~David Bowie |
"This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one." - George Bernard Shaw

The highest result of education is tolerance.
~Helen Keller |
"A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe." - Wayne Dyer |
"Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door." - Coco Chane l |
"A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble." - Mohandas Gandhi |
"She must find a boat and sail in it. No guarantee of shore. Only a conviction that what she wanted could exist, if she dared to find it." ~ Jeanette Winterson
