To Write

"Yes, it's hard to write, but it's harder not to." _Carl Van Doren

A Much Greater Hunger

The Heaviest Burden

"God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight." _Reggie White

Sure You Can

"You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on." _David Harkins

When We're Incomplete

"When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter." _Tom Robbins

Only Reality

"The belief that one's own view of reality is the only reality is the most dangerous of all delusions." _Paul Watzlawick

Every Man's Obligation

"It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it."
_Albert Einstein

Reality or The Dream

"Reality can destroy the dream; why shouldn't the dream destroy reality?"
_George Moore

"Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can." _John Wesley

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." _Mother Teresa

"Be happy. It's one way of being wise." _Sidonie Gabrielle

"A goal without a plan is just a wish." _Larry Elder

"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have." _Frederick Keonig

"Love wasn't put in your heart to stay. Love isn't love until you give it away." _Michael W. Smith

"Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses." _Lao Tzu
