| Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor… Let no one ever come to you without leaving better or happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; Kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, Kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting. ....by Mother Teresa |
| If |
| If I could hold you close to my heart And feel your warm breath on my breast And know that hurt is just a part Of living with the dark side of love If I could take away the years of pain I'd make them vanish so you'd be free And take away that anguished stain That lived within your life so long If I could give you the love you craved It would be pure and sweet and joyous And I would give you everything saved Inside of me, collected over ageless time But we must find our own love and pleasure Before we can invite someone to share And this will be the important measure To a life filled with passion and delight ....by Judith M.

| On Love |
| There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket – safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. |
....by C.S. Lewis The Four Loves, p. 169 |
| Colors of the Wind |
| You think the only people who are people, Are the ones who look and think the way you do, But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, You'll learn the things you never knew you never knew. ....from Pocohantas |
| Being Kind |
| So many gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, While just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs. ....by Ella Wheeler Wilcox |
| On Looking The Other Way |
| When Hitler attacked the Jews, I was not a Jew, therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the unions and the industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and I was not concerned. Then, Hitler attacked ME and the Protestant church-- and there was nobody left to be concerned. ....by Martin Niemoller |
| Friends |
|
Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man. Do not associate with one easily angered, Or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared. ....from Proverbs 22:24 of the Bible |
