The power of one, if fearless and focused, is formidable, but the power of many working together is better. |
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope. |
We never know the love of the parent till we become parents ourselves. |
The God of the Bible is a moral monstrosity. |
Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude! |
Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven. |

Love is the wine of existence. |
Nothing is so sensitive as love-and the greater, the more sensitive. It cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed from out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low. |
Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable. |
