  • He would not stay for me, and who can wonder? He would not stay for me to stand and gaze. I shook his hand, and tore my heart in sunder, And went with half my life about my ways.

  • Television gives us the gift to see ourselves as we'd like to be seen.

  • There is not a command God gives to His children for which He does not provide the enablement for obedience.

  • Give me a land of boughs in leaf A land of trees that stand; Where trees are fallen there is grief; I love no leafless land.

  • There is a certain indolence in us, a wish not to be disturbed, which tempts us to think that when things are quiet, all is well. Subconsciously, we tend to give the preference to 'social peace,' though it be only apparent, because our lives and possessions seem then secure. Actually, human beings acquiesce too easily in evil conditions; they rebel far too little and too seldom. There is nothing noble about acquiescence in a cramped life or mere submission to superior force.

  • And I say, the meaning of life is what you make it. There will be as many different meaningful lives as there are people to live them.

  • The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple.

  • It's not the meaning of life we seek but our aliveness. Once we have that, the meaning of life is obvious.

  • Knowledge is sacred and the choice to be informed or merely entertained in today's world is a very revealing test of the times.  Expanding your mind to penetrate the deeper meanings of life is not only liberating, it is crucial to your well-being, for knowledge is power, and how you use your power inevitably determines the course of your personal and collective life.

  • The beautiful in life... Some talk of it in poetry, Some grow it from the soil, Some build it in a steeple, Some show it through their toil. Some breathe it into music, Some mold it into art, Some shape it into bread loaves... Some hold it in their hearts.
