"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty"
- Albert Einstein

"Consult not your fears
....but your hopes and dreams

Think not about your frustrations
….but your unfulfilled potential

Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in
....but with what is still possible for you to do"
- Pope John XXIII

"Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you...If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you, and even if it is troublesome for a time, it will gradually fade out, if you sincerely bless it."

"As we express our gratitude
we must never forget
that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words
but to live by them"
