quote by: Elie Wiesel

Just as despair can come to one only
from other human beings,
hope, too, can be given to one
only by other human beings.

quote by : author unknown

Everyone hears what you
have to day. Friends listen to
what you say. Best friends
listen to what you don't say.

poem by Edgar A Guest

The Struggle

Life is a struggle for peace,
A longing for rest,
A hope for the battles to cease,
A dream for the best;
And he is not living who stays
Contented with things,
Unconcerned with the work of the days
And all that it brings.

He is dead who sees nothing to change,
No wrong to make right;
Who travels no new way or strange
In search of the light;
Who never sets out for a goal
That he sees from afar
But contents his indifferent soul
With things as they are.

Life isn't rest --- it is toil;
It is building a dream;
It is tilling a parcel of soil
Or bridging a stream;
It's pursuing the light of a star
That but dimly we see,
And in wresting from things as they are
The joy that should be.

quote by David Rowbotham "The Creature in the Chair"

Let some of the
TRANQUILITY
of the cat
CURL into me.

quote by Marian Anderson

We lose a lot of
time hating people.

quote by Pearl Bailey

Everyone wants to do
something to help, but
nobody wants to be first.

quote by Pearl S Buck

I don't wait for moods.
You accomplish nothing if you do that.
Your mind must know it has got
to get down to earth.
