quote by Pearl Buck

There were many ways of breaking a heart.

Stories were full of hearts broken by love,

but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream -- whatever that dream might be.

quote by A Neilen

If you have not often felt the joy of doing a kind act,

you have neglected much,

and most of all yourself.

Experience by Jane Merchant

I found this poem in the book "Think About These Things" copyrighted 1956.  Whatever was going on in the world when the poem was written still sounds like the world today.

What happend today?
The newsmen tell
The tidings so:
A government fell,

A statesman was killed,
An airplane crashed,
A city cowered,
Hurricane-lashed.

But here upon
This quite street
An old, old lady,
Grave and sweet,

Handed a rose
To a crying child,
And sunlight sparkled
As they smiled.

I must believe
The clamorous, raw
News; but the smile
Is what I saw.

Chinese Proverb

The glory is not in never failing,

but in rising every time you fail.

quote by Dr Wayne W Dyer

         Forgiveness is the most
         powerful thing you can
         do for yourself on the
         spiritual path.  If you 
         can't learn to forgive,
         you can forget about getting
         to higher levels of awareness.
