To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour. William Blake |
Why do some people always see beautiful skies and grass and lovely flowers and incredible human beings, while others are hard-pressed to find anything or any place that is beautiful? Leo Buscaglia |

I wanted you to see what real courage is,
instead of getting an idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. Harper Lee |
I do not ask to walk smooth paths
Nor bear an easy load. I pray for strength and fortitude To climb the rock-strewn road. Give me such courage I can scale The hardest peaks alone, And transform every stumbling block Into a steppingstone. Gail Brook Burket |
It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them,
more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more "manhood" to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind. Alex Karras |

“When all is said and done, you are part of me. That's the way it was meant to be. People are brought together for a reason, everything happens for a reason. I believe the reason that you and me were brought together was because we complete one another. We fill in each other's missing spots with love. And if someday God decides to tear us apart, I trust that there is a reason. Cause if there is a reason for love, there is a reason for life beyond it.” - Author Unknown |
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

Some people think a miracle is only a miracle if it happens
instantaneously, but miracles can grow slowly and patience and faith can compel things to happen that otherwise never would have come to pass. Boyd K. Packer |
To love someone is to always see them as the miracle that they are;
as the miracle that they exist, the miracle that makes your own simultaneous existence seem fortunately improbable and therefore defiantly miraculous; is to show them, in your eyes and through the way in which you look at them, the limitless beauty of their true miraculous selves; is to say to them in every glance: "I believe in miracles because I believe in you." Philip Jason |
Miracles rest not so much upon healing power coming suddenly
near us from afar, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for the moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what has been there around us always. Willa Cather |

“Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.” Benjamin Franklin

Truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.
--Bob Marley |
we travel together, passengers on a little spaceship dependent on its vulnerable supplies of air and soil; all committed for our safety to its security and peace, preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and I will say the love we give our fragile craft --
— Adlai Stevenson a friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away -- — George Eliot |
"Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving." ~Kahlil Gibran . |
The most beautiful view is the one I share with you.
~Author Unknown |
I no longer feel that life is ordinary. Everyday life is filled with mystery.
The things we know are only a small part of the things we cannot know but can only glimpse. Yet even the smallest of glimpses can sustain us. Mystery seems to have the power to comfort, to offer hope, and to lend meaning in times of loss and pain. In surprising ways it is the mysterious that strengthens us in such times. I used to try to offer people certainty in times which were not at all certain and could not be made certain. I now just offer my companionship and share my sense of mystery, of the possible, of wonder. Rachel Naomi Remen |
Let mystery have its place in you; do not be always turning up your whole soil with the ploughshare of self-examination, but leave a little fallow corner in your heart ready for any seed the winds may bring. Henri Frederic Amiel |
The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face.
Jim Bishop |
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Roman Emperor |
You cannot have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever a man's actions are, such must be his spirit.
Demosthenes, Third Olynthiac Greek orator & politician in Athens |
