Okay, a few of my favorites that I try my best to live by. It's not always easy, human here, but I do try.

“Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.”

"you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world unless you understand the most amusing”

“One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.”

“I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.”

[Fr_Chuck]

I live every day as if it will be my last.

When my first wife died the last words we had were bad ones. So I try to always deal with everyone just like I may never see them again

I have never heard that before. I think it is beautiful.

There is a fate more terrible than dying.

It really stuck with me. You only get one life, not to live it, well, you might as well be dead.

When I write it it doesn't sound as eloquent. ;)

I try to do that too Chuck, but I often fall short.

This too shall pass.

Helps me keep perspective on both the hard things in my life as well as reminding me to be in the moment for the joyful things.

I hate the word "closure", you hear it so often about death. I for one know there is no such thing as closure. There is however acceptance and learning to live with the grief. It gets easier and in time you smile and laugh again and even start to get back to everyday things. Still there is a part of you that is missing and though the pain has lessened you still miss that person and a smell or a song or a laugh in the crowd can bring back that hurt with a fury, but it passes. I don't know why I wrote this.Maybe because I know even though that person is gone from my life there is hope in seeing them again someday.

I like these. It is about FASTING, and FEASTING.

Fast from complaining, and feast on appreciation.

Fast from negatives, and feast on affirmatives.

Fast from hostilty, and feast on tenderness.

Fast from bitterness, and feast on forgiveness.

Fast from self concern, and feast on compassion for others.

Fast from the shadows of sorrow, and feast on the sunlight of serenity.

Fast from idle gossip, and feast on purposeful silence.

Fast from the emphasis on differences, and feast on the unity of life.

Fast from apparent darkness, and feast in the reality of light.

Fast from discontent, and feast on gratitude.

Fast from anger, and feast on optimism.

Fast from discouragement, and feast on hope.

Fast from the facts that depress, and feast on truths that uplift.

Fast from laziness, and feast on enthusiasm.

Fast from suspicion, and feast on truth.

Fast from thoughts that weaken, and feast on promises that inspire.

Fast from thoughts of illness, and feast on the healing power of God.

The Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi


Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

[Catsmine]

If God is infinite, why do people try to use different Names?

Desiderata


Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.


If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.


Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.


Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.


Strive to be happy.


--- Max Ehrmann, 1927
