Sunshine
When a bit of sunshine hits ye,
After the passing of a cloud,
When a fit of laughter gits ye
An’ yer spine is feeling proud,
Don’t fergit to up and fling it
At a soul that’s feelin’ blue,
For the minite that ye sling it
It’s a boomerang to you.
Captain Jack Crawford

Beyond your Powers

Life Energy
Life energy sleeps in the mineral, dreams in the plant, awakes in the animal and becomes conscience in Man.
Oriental Saying
I Disagree
I disagree with everything you have said but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Moving
I find a great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
What will people say?
In all we do almost the first thing we think about is what will people say? And nearly half the trouble and worries of life may be traced to our own anxiety on this score.

No sorrow
Conquer your foe by force and you add to his enmity; by love, and you reap no after sorrow.
The Budda
Slow and Steady
Slow me down Lord, Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with the vision of the eternal reach of time. Give me, amid the confusion of the day, the calmness of the everlasting hills. Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the smoothing music of the streams that live in memory. Lift my eyes in to the branches of the towering trees, let me know that they grow slowly and well. Slow me down Lord, and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life’s enduring values that I may grow towards the stars of my greater destiny. Amen
