  • Life is a festival only to the wise.
          ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


    "You can measure a man by the opposition it takes to discourage him."
      -- Robert C. Savage


    Human kindness shines like blazing torches. Kindness is an act of mercy given away responsibly by a person who has every right to express wrath.
          Alwyn Pereira, church-based youth leader


    We all belong to one human family.
          Irene, rescuer of Jews during World War II.


    My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
          Tenzin Gyatso (b. 1935) The Tibetan Buddhist philosophical leader


    Every child is an artist; the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
          Pablo Picasso (b. 1881) Spanish artist


    The voyage of discovery lies not in finding new landscapes but in having new eyes.
          Marcel Proust (b. 1871) French writer


    Creativity belongs to the artist in each of us. To create means to relate. The root meaning of the word art is "to fit together" and we all do this every day. Not all of us are painters but we are all artists. Each time we fit things together we are creating - whether it is to make a loaf of bread, a child, a day.
          Corita Kent (b. 1918) American muralist

  • Kindness is the best religion, indeed.

  • I agree with NFP...kindness is a gift that returns tenfold

  • Being kind counts. So does standing up for yourself. I have been blessed to be able to do the first many, many times. The second one has stood me in good stead MOST of the time!

  • The voyage of discovery lies not in finding new landscapes but in having new eyes.

    This one stands out for me - a new perspective changes so much of the way we are used to looking at things, brings out a whole different understanding, yes it can be a great voyage of discovery inside ourselves.
