Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
-Confucius
God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
-Swami Vivekananda
We consider Christmas as the great, historical and decisive encounter between God and mankind. He who has faith knows this truly; let him rejoice.

- John O'donohue
If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.
-Anthony J. D'angelo
