Oh God, we go through life so lonely, needing what other people can give us, yet ashamed to show that need.  And other people go through life so lonely, hungering for what it would be such a joy for us to give.  Dear God, please bring us together, the people who need each other, who can help each other, and would so enjoy each other.

Children have more need of models than of critics.

Have courage for the great sorrows of life
and patience for the small ones;
and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task,
go to sleep in peace.
God is awake.

There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle. 

SHE walks in beauty, like the night

  Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

  Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

  Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

  Had half impair'd the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

  Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

  How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

  So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

  But tell of days in goodness spent, 

A mind at peace with all below,

  A heart whose love is innocent!

Not what, but Whom, I do believe,

     That, in my darkest hour of need,

     hath comfort that no mortal creed

     To mortal man give;--

   Not what, but Whom!

     For Christ is more than all the creeds,

     And His full life of gentle deeds

     Shall all the creeds outlive.

   Not what I do believe, but Whom!

     Who walks beside me in the gloom?

     Who shares the burden wearisome?

     Who all the dim way doth illume,

     And bids me look beyond the tomb

     The larger life to live? --

   Not what I do believe,

     But Whom!

     Not what,

     But Whom!      

You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

It is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies.

So often we get stuck in the future. In the world we live in we're always thinking about what we will be doing in 5 years from now, and how we will be doing 20 years down the road. But the wonderful things about our physical bodies is that it reminds us that we can only be here and now. We can only be exactly where we are. Remember we cannot exist in the future. Most of the things we worry about are the things that never come to be. May you all stay present in this moment of your lives and with true intentions, things will fall into place.

There is more to life than increasing it's speed
