Quotations by Helen Keller
:candle: Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in the world. :candle: The true test of a character is to face hard conditions with the determination to make them better. :candle: The worst sorrows in life are not its losses and misfortunes, but its fears. :candle: Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. :candle: History is a record of the incessant struggle of humanity against ignorance and oppression. |
Joy Cometh in the Morning by D. A. Boskovich © 1998 The clouds may endure for a whileBringing forth their dismal rain;But then the rainbow appears--The beauty comes after the pain.The darkness may come in the eveningWith all the terrors of the night,But then cometh the morning,Bringing with it the light.Weeping may endure for the night,And sorrow may continue for long,But joy cometh in the morningAfer the sting is gone.Joy alone can come from sufferingAnd courage is born of fear,Though your path be strewn with evils,Remember--the light is near.(f) |
from Notes on Love and Courage by Hugh Prather
This day has been magical. I have been with three friends, one at a time, and I have learned that friends can transform you. The first held me up so I could see. My second friend made me gentle and earnest. The third friend turned me into a clown, a gesturer, a creator of quips. My friends don't know what they have done today. It's nothing to them, they do it so often. I expect I must also cause a change in them. And so we--each a separate we--exist only in each other's presence.

What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.
Michel Foucault |
"Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities, and so on."
- Dalai Lama |

I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer. My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music. It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips.
~Violette Leduc, Mad in Pursuit |

Hitopadesa No friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever. Francois Mauriac |

Dalai Lama
Developing genuine compassion for our loved ones is the obvious and appropriate place to start in our spiritual practice. The impact our actions have on our close ones will generally be much greater than on others, and therefore our responsibilities toward them are greater. Yet we need to recognize that, ultimately, there are no grounds for discriminating in their favor: all beings equally deserve our compassion.

Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. This applies to play as well as work. A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!(f) Og Mandino 1923-1996, American Motivational Author, Speaker |
