Henry Ward Beecher

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Let us keep this truth before us. You say you have no faith? Love--and faith will come. You say you are sad? Love--and joy will come. You say you are alone? Love--and you will break out of your solitude. You say you are in hell? Love--and you will find yourself in heaven. Heaven is love.
In Search Of The Beyond, Carlo Carretto

Co-existing with any living creature, even one of your own species, requires endless compromise and grace, and a certain desire to redeem an affirmation of life from your most deadly inclinations.

Robert Fulghum

I am learning to live close to the lives of my friends without ever seeing them. No miles of any measurement can separate your soul from mine."
John Muir
~~~~~~~~~~

If you really want to be happy, nobody can stop you.
Sister Mary Tricky

If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
