My favorite (right now)
The sky is deep, the sky is dark
The light of stars is so damn stark.
When I look up, I fill with fear
If all we have is what lies here.
This lonely world, this troubled place
Then cold dead stars and empty space.
Well, I see no reason to persevere
No reason to laugh or shed a tear.
No reason to sleep or ever to wake
No promises to keep, and none to make.
And so at night I still raise my eyes
To study the clear but mysterious skies
That arch above us as cold as stone.
Are you there, God? Are we alone?
The Book of Counted Sorrows
the one I share the most...
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson
others...
…sometimes things work out just because you think they will work.
It’s a good a definition of faith as any.
Stephen King
How many legs does a dog have if you call its tail a leg?
Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.
Groucho Marx
He that dies pays all debts.
Shakespeare
The more you say, the less people remember.
The fewer the words, the greater the profit.

"I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires."
"What you should say to outsiders is that a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our Association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself shall not stand upon it."
"The religious persecution of the ages has been done under what was claimed to be the command of God."

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. Or had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring & a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He listens. He lives anywhere in the universe, but He chose your heart. Face it, friend, He is crazy about you! He didn't promise days without pain, laughter, sorrow, sun, or rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, & light for the way......

He who hesitates is lost.
To thine ownself be true, for thou canst be false to any man.
It's not the size of the dog in a fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Ask and you shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you.

If we remember that we could be mistaken, we would endeavor, even in minor things, to maintain self restraint.
