Courage doesn't always roar.


You don’t have the power to make life “fair,”
but you do have the power to make life joyful.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Having a personal opinion is great.
Believing that one’s personal opinion is absolute truth leads to most of the world’s troubles.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Joy increases and suffering decreases as one masters
the distinction between events and one’s feelings about those events.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Be a passionate Observer of Life.
See the events, feel the emotions, and recognize the difference.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Honor your being,
Release each and every struggle,
Gather strength from life’s storms,
Relax into the arms of spirit.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
I forgive everyone for every “wrong” that I believe they have ever inflicted upon me.
I forgive them for my own sake, that I may release the venom -
the anger and resentment within myself -
and regain my joy and serenity.
I have compassion for everyone who has ever been a player upon the stage of my life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Lord, grant comfort, joy and health to those I call friend,
to those I call enemy,
and to those I have cursed by my indifference.
Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience.
Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.
- Hal Borland
Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day, saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."
- Mary Anne Radmacher
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it,
we can never do anything wise in this world.
- Helen Keller
