"We think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so. We never seem to acknowledge that we have been wrong in the past, and so might be wrong in the future. Instead, each generation writes off earlier errors as the result of bad thinking by less able minds - and then confidently embarks on fresh errors of its own."
- Michael Crichton, Prey.

people in your life who will say
all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not words, that matter."

afraid of the humans, but of
what is inhuman in them."

"The thirst for something other
than what we have…to bring
something new, even if it is
worse, some emotion, some
sorrow; when our sensibility,
which happiness has silenced like an idle harp, wants to resonate under some hand, even a rough one, and even if it might be broken by it."
~by Marcel Proust ,"Swann's Way"

"You are well aware that it is not numbers or strength that bring the victories in war. No, it is when one side goes against the enemy with the god's gift of a stronger morale that their adversaries, as a rule, cannot withstand them."

"I carried inside me a cut and bleeding soul, and how to get rid of it I just didn't know. I sought every pleasure - the countryside, sports, fooling around, the peace of a garden, friends, and good company, sex, reading. My soul floundered in the void - and come back upon me. For where could my heart flee from my heart? Where could I escape from myself?"
*Augustine's Quote
- Thomas Cahil, How the Irish Saved Civilization.

"Seemingly senseless pain and trauma engulfs much of life. If you seek to follow Him, you must be content to trust His character rather than your ability to understand. The difference between a knife in the hand of an assassin and a knife in the hand of a surgeon is intent: both inflict severe pain. You must decide whether God is an assassin or a surgeon. But remember, your choice does not change God, only your opinion."

Our Deepest Fear
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,gorgeous,handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to
be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not
serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as
children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God
within us.
It is not just in some; it is in
everyone.
And, as we let our own light
shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do
the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically
liberates others.
By Marianne Williamson

"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with the sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause... his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt, "Man in the Arena" Speech, (April 23, 1910).
