    If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. (Thoreau)

    ********

    To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you somebody else is to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting. (e.e.cummings)


    *********

    This quote from Reinhold Niebuhr often keeps me rooted to reality and sanity:

    God grant me the serenity to
    accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can
    and Wisdom to know the difference.

    You will be happier if you spend less time insisting that everything be your way. Lord, help me remain objective and open to new ideas when they are presented, but at the same time give me the courage to not compromise my beliefs and values.

    Forgiveness is a wonderful way to lift yourself up and it is the best way to encourage yourself and others to do better. Lord, grant me greater understanding and wisdom so that I can move past my problems into a new day.

    Inspiration is a fragile thing... just a breeze, touching the green foliage of a city park, just a whisper from the soul of a friend. Just a line of verse clipped from some book. Inspiration... who can say where it is born, and why it leaves us? Who can tell the reasons for its being or not being? Only this... I can think. Inspiration comes from the Heart of Heaven to give the lift of wings, and the breath of divine music to those of us who are earthbound. Margaret Sangster

    The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.

    When things go wrong, it is far more productive
    to see if you can learn something from it rather
    than just getting upset.
    Lord, help me to remain peaceful and patient
    enough in my trying moments st that in some way
    I can grow from them.
