Life will
always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.
-- Samuel Smiles
1812-1904, Scottish Author
To find the
point where hypothesis and fact meet; the delicate
equilibrium between dream and reality; the place where
fantasy and earthly things are metamorphosed into a work of
art; the hour when faith in the future becomes knowledge of
the past; to lay down one's power for others in need; to
shake off the old ordeal and get ready for the new; to
question, knowing that never can the full answer be found;
to accept uncertainties quietly, even our incomplete
knowledge of God; this is what man's journey is about, I
think.
-- Lillian Smith
1897-1966, American Author
There is one
thing that matters -- to set a chime of words tinkling in
the minds of a few fastidious people.

The end of

like Him.

Best to live
lightly, unthinkingly.

Not where I
breathe, but where I love, I live; Not where I love, but
where I am, I die.
