There May Be Times When We Are Powerless

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, 

but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. 

Elie Wiesel 

What We Shall Do

This is what you shall do:
love the earth and sun, and animals,
despise riches, give alms to every one that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others,
hate tyrants, argue not concerning God.

Have patience and indulgence towards the people,
take off your hat to nothing known or unknown,
or to any man or number of men;
go freely with the powerful uneducated persons,
and with the young, and mothers, of families:
read these leaves in the open air every season
of every year of your life:
lt is your soul.

Walt Whitman

We Are Immersed

We cannot think first and act afterward.
From the moment of birth we are immersed in action,
and can only fitfully guide it by taking thought.

Unknown

Time Is Free

Time is free, but it's priceless.
You can't own it, but you can use it.
You can't keep it, but you can spend it.
Once you've lost it you can never get it back.

Harvey MacKay

Nature's Most Beautiful Gift

Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift.

Albert Einstein

The Best Day Of Your Life

The best day of your life is the one on which you
decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses.
No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.
The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey -
and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.
This is the day your life really begins.

Bob Moawad

The Heart Of Life

When you reach the heart of life, you shall find beauty in all things,
even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.

Kahlil Gibran
