resigned to the way they have to live than other
things do. Willa Cather |

There is no good arguing with the

We always admire the other person
more after we've tried to do his job. William

The great secret, Eliza, is not having bad manners
or good manners or any other particular sort of manners, but having
the same manner for all human souls: in short, behaving as if you
were in Heaven, where there are no third class carriages, and one
soul is as good as another.
George Bernard Shaw |
|
A human being is part of a whole,
called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He
experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated
from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This
delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal
desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task
must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles
of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature
in its beauty. Albert Einstein |
|
We have just enough religion to
make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another. Jonathan
Swift |
|
Belief consists in accepting the
affirmations of the soul; Unbelief in denying them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson |
|
Accept criticism and seek counsel of those who will
tell you your faults. Mere praise will never bring the improvement
you need. He that won't be counseled can't be helped.

We rely upon the poets, the philosophers
and the playwrights to articulate what most of us can only feel,
in joy or sorrow. They illuminate the thoughts for which we only
grope. They give us the strength and balm we cannot find in ourselves.
Whenever I find my courage wavering I rush to them. They give me
the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resilience to push on. Helen
Hayes |
