The desires of our youth are the riches of our old age.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
-Ravi Zacharias
Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
-Henry David Thoreau
It is in doing things and not reading about them that results come about.
-Stephen Richards
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
-Swami Vivekananda
There is a beauty in the world, though it's harsher than we expect it to be.
-Michael Cunningham
