Words to Ponder:

Where there is Great Love, There are Always Miracles.-Willa Cather

People are unreasonably illogical and self-centered, LOVE THEM ANYWAY.
If you do good people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives, DO GOOD ANYWAY
If you are successful you will win false friends and true enemies, SUCCEED ANYWAY
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable, BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY
People really need help, but may attack you if you help them, HELP THEM ANYWAY
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth, GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU HAVE ANYWAY.
From a sign on the wall of Mother Theresa's orphanage in Calcutta

For everyone that asketh, recieveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.-Matthew 7:7,8

Living people are soft and tender. Corpses are hard and stiff. The ten thousand things, the living grass, the trees, are soft, pliant. Dead, they are dry and brittle. So hardness and stiffness go with death; tenderness, softness, go with life. And the hard sword fails, the stiff tree's felled. The hard go under. The soft and weak stay up.-Lao Tzu

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them-that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.-Lao Tzu
