A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself.
-Axel Munthe
I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
Loneliness, insomnia, and change: the fear of these is even worse than the reality.
-Mignon McLaughlin
Let love of the brethren continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Choose your own way, to suit your own taste, temperament and capacity. There’s no need to criticise or condemn those who follow a different path. Spiritual hunger is the same in all – the ‘food’ to satisfy their hunger may vary.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
Sometimes, on our way through the world, we meet someone who touches our heart in a way others don't.
-Philip Reeve
