"Move within, but not the way that fear makes you move...

Keep walking though there's no place to get to,
Don't try to see through the distances - that's not for human beings to know.."

"Commit yourself to a daily practice,
your loyalty to that is a ring on the door.

Keep knocking
and eventually the joy
that lives inside
will look out to see
whose there!"

Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.

Succeed Anyway

If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway

someone who comforts, and you will know peace.

Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand, and you will be wise. Be
someone kind, someone considerate, and you will be admired. Be someone

There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.

Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect. -

There has been only one Christmas - the rest are anniversaries.

Wisdom is weightier than gold... and kindness triumphs over vasts amounts of knowledge... For when one knows they are loved... Love is what they retun

Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself.

There can be no peace of mind, without strength of mind.

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.
