When the power of love overcomes the love of power then the world will know peace.

If we live out of our memory, we're tied to the past and to that which is finite. When we live out of our imagination, we're tied to that which is infinite. Stephen R. Covey

Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"the imagination needs no outside stimulus"
- David Wiesner-

http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/aut … cess.shtml

The truth is that the imagination needs no outside stimulus. To watch children at play is to see the mind in all its uninhibited glory. Growing up in New Jersey, my friends and I re-created our world daily. The neighborhood would become anything from the far reaches of the universe to a prehistoric jungle. To believe that giant Pterodactyls were swooping down on us required only a small leap of faith.

MAKE NEW FRIENDS, AND OLD ONES.
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test --
Time and change--- are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray;
Friendship never knows decay.
For 'mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we reach and youth renew.
But old friends, alas! may die;
New friends must their place supply;
Cherish friendships in your breast--
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
-Joseph Parry-

Fear and Faith

Fear imprisons, faith liberates;
fear paralyzes, faith empowers;
fear disheartens, faith encourages;
fear sickens, faith heals;
fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable --
and, most of all,
fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life, while faith rejoices in its God.

--Harry Emerson Fosdick--

I didn't find my friends; the good God gave them to me.

It is awesome i found a book at Savers with 1064 quotes. This means i won't run out of good stuff for a long while, and they're all awesome, oh and did i mention it is in awesome condition from 1965. awesomeness. the last four i got from it, and here is another one.

I have four things to learn in life:
To think clearly without hurry or confusion;
To love everybody sincerely;
To act in everything with the highest motives;
To trust in God unhesitatingly.

Whoso draws night to God one step through doubtings dim, God will advance a mile in blazing light to him.

Courage is the price
that life extracts
for granting peace.
The soul
that knows it not,
knows no release
from little things.

Life is like a library owned by an author. In it are a few boooks which he wrote himself, but most of them were written for him.

Let nothing disturb thee,
Nothing affright thee;
All thingsare passing;
God neer changeth;
Patient endurence
Attaineth to all things.
Whom God possesseth
In nothing is wanting:
Alone God Sufficeth.

If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.

-Montesquieu

If we look at this, it can probably be substituted for almost anything else, like success.

Not that the nature of the thing has changed,

Um, what deal, seem record skip, what do? All you base mine, resistance futile, computer over.

You cannot play with the animal in you without becoming wholly animal, play with falsehood without forfeiting your right to truth, play with cruelty without losing your sensitivity of mind. He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn't reserve a plot of weeds. (Dag Hammarskjold)

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.

We have enough people who tell it like it is --
Now we could use a few who tell it like it can be.

When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body? Until the spirit of love for our fellow men, regardless of race, color, or creed, shall fill the world, making real in our lives and our deeds the actuality of human brotherhood -- until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.

Helen Keller

Shrug off the restraints
that you have allowed others
to place upon you.
You are limitless.
There is nothing you
cannot achieve.
There is no sadness in life
That cannot be reversed...
