If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours, if they don%t, they never were. 'eauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. .onversation is feminine, debate is masculine. /trength doesn%t come from hysical ca acity. It comes from an indomitable will.

It can be ta#en only with a mind urified and com osed and with 5od as witness. -n error does not become truth by reason of multi lied ro agation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. 'efore the throne of the -lmighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. )or 5od alone reads our hearts. .onfession of errors is li#e a broom which swee s away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession. .ulture of the mind must be subservient to the heart. $ven if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth. $veryone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone. 5entleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the e7clusive ossession of no one race or religion. 5od sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless. ;a iness is when what you thin#, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide. ?rovidence has its a ointed hour for everything. !e cannot command results, we can only strive. Truth never damages a cause that is just. !e may have our rivate o inions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts9 !here love is, there 5od is also. $very beauty which is seen here below by ersons of erce tion resemble more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come.... +earn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and #now that everything in life has a ur ose. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart. Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just 5od, cannot retain it. 'elieve nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. Intuition will tell the thin#ing mind where to loo# ne7t. If something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an a roach to immortality.

It is better to be a lion for a day than a shee all your life. (ature is an unlimited broadcasting station, through which 5od s ea#s to us every hour, if we only will tune in.

There is no such thing as instant im rovement in life. -nd as you #now in agriculture, growth can only ha en little by little over time=.

If you don%t have the ersistence to do these small things consistently, you won%t be able to see the results over the long term. In three words I can sum u everything I%ve learned about life, it goes on. $very moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful. 0ust ut forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you. ;ow much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it. The ast must no longer be used as an anvil for beating out the resent and the future. /mall o ortunities are often the beginning of great enter rises. !e must be willing to let go of the life we have lanned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. (o man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle and good without the world being better for it, without somebody being hel ed and comforted by the very e7istence of that goodness. !hatever in society is good and great and sublime is the wor#ing out of love. !hatever in society is very bad F nay diabolical Fis also ill-directed, wor#ing out of the same emotion of love. It is this same emotion that gives us the ure and holy conjugal love as well as the sort of love which goes to satisfy the lowest forms of assion. It is the same feeling of love well or ill-directed that im els one man to do good and to give all he has to the oor, while it ma#es another man cut the throats of his brethren and ta#e away all their ossessions. The former loves others as much as the later loves himself. AG -(o"ert $rost.
