Page 4 "Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. ~A.A. Milne If one dream should
fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick
one of those pieces up and begin again. ~Flavia Weedn, Flavia
and the Dream Maker Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine. ~Caskie Stinnett When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Oh, wouldn't the world seem dull and flat with nothing whatever to grumble at? ~W.S. Gilbert The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. ~Albert Einstein "As I stumble through
this life, help me to create The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. ~Sarah Ban Breathnach, Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy, 1996 "It is a curious
subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be
not the same thing at bottom. Each, in its utmost development,
supposes a high degree of intimacy and heartknowledge; each
renders one individual dependent for the food of his affections
and spiritual life upon another; each leaves the passionate
lover, or the no less passionate hater, forlorn and desolate by
the withdrawal of his object." A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ~Herm Albright
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~ Marianne Williamson "The
people in our lives aren’t always who we want them to be. Grace
accepts them for who they are. I'm not always the person I want
to be, and I need grace from others. I need people to accept me
for who I am, but love me too much to let me stay that way.
