    Every spirit builds itself a house ,
    and beyond its house a world , and
    beyond its world a heaven. Know then
    that world exists for you .

    Here's another one from Emerson - it helped me thru many days:

    What lies behind us and What lies before us are small matters compared to What lies within us.

    To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived — this is to have succeeded.
    ~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

    "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore–Dream–Discover." Mark Twain

    Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. Louisa May Alcott

    People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within.

    When you are lonely i wish you Love,

    I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next..... Delicious Ambiguity.--Gilda Radner

    ...."Religions are different roads converging to the same point.
    What does it matter that we take different roads as long as we reach the same goal.
    In reality there are as many different religions as there are individuals".
