The Bible is one, Old and New, in my particular tradition.
The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.
Unless we love the truth we cannot know it.
Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls; and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image on men's souls, and a beautiful image it is.
I am learning to live close to the lives of my friends without ever seeing them. No miles of any measurement can separate your soul from mine.
Those who avoid the tough choices of life, live a life they never chose.
Toil and risk are the price of glory, but it is a lovely thing to live with courage and die leaving an everlasting fame.
Artists, writers and people in creative fields are entrepreneurs by necessity. Nobody gives them a paycheck or picks up their medical insurance. The ones who succeed learn to think and act like 'independent operators. ' I think people who are technically 'employees' have to think this way as well. The company is not looking out for you.
