We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.”
~ Mother Teresa
“I don’t really have
an office or anything,
and I like to have to move
location every two hours.
So I just kind of write
in a park, on a bench, in the library,
in a café, back to the library,
that kind of thing.”
~ Steve Toltz
“True friendship multiplies the good in life
and divides its evils.
Strive to have friends,
for life without friends
is like life on a desert island…
to find one real friend in a lifetime
is good fortune;
to keep him is a blessing.”
~ Baltasar Gracian
“Time is the coin of your life.
It is the only coin you have,
and only you can determine
how it will be spent.
Be careful lest you let
other people spend it for you.”
~ Carl Sandburg
“Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o’ lang syne!”
~ Robert Burns

like ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’
don’t really involve Santa.”

over this world,
and behold,
everything is softer

the Grinch thought,
doesn’t come from the store.”
