All our life is but a going out to the place of execution, to death.

No Spring nor Summer beauty hath such grace As I have seen in one Autumnal face.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.

Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes.

Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

Busy old fool, unruly Sun, why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?

Twice or thrice had I loved thee before I knew thy face or name, so in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, angels affect us oft, and worshiped be.

What gnashing is not a comfort, what gnawing of the worm is not a tickling, what torment is not a marriage bed to this damnation, to be secluded eternally, eternally, eternally from the sight of God?

Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

More than kisses, letters mingle souls.

When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.

Once you witness an injustice, you are no longer an observer but a participant.” ~ June Callwood.

One person can and does make a difference.

Let's fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope, for "our life is what our thoughts make it."

Rest as soon as there is pain.

A nice, steady job I don't need that bad. I'm not that satisfied with it.

Being spiritual is a far more intelligent way to exist. It means being in tune with the intelligence of the Creator.

Thinking well is integral to acting righteously. Truth and spirituality are of a piece: to know the truth is to do it. There is no dichotomy between the two. To be spiritual is to know/do the truth.

We found ourselves wanting to hurry time along, which was not in the long run good for our health. Everybody was trapped in this contradiction but nobody ever dared to articulate it.

All suffering goes just as it came. So it is with the glories and tragedies of the world.

Love every part of yourself. Even the things that frustrate you. They make you who you are!
