However softly we speak, God is near enough to hear us.

Let nothing Disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, Though all things pass, God does not change. Patience wins all things. But he lacks nothing who possesses God; For God alone suffices.

Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.

Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.

It is not a matter of thinking a great deal but of loving a great deal, so do whatever arouses you most to love.

Remember that you have only one soul; that you have only one death to die; that you have only one life. . . . If you do this, there will be many things about which you care nothing.

When we accept what happens to us and make the best of it, we are praising God.

Desire to see God, be fearful of losing Him, and find joy in everything that can lead to Him. If you act in this way, you will always live in great peace.

We may speak of love and humility as the true flowers of spiritual growth; and they give off a wonderful scent, which benefits all those who come near.

May God protect me from gloomy saints.

A poet is someone whose words can grasp & pull the thread of a person's soul & make them unravel with delight.

This is why people are so hard to understand. I cannot even estimate their gravitational pull.

The so-called culture nowadays is only a fake one with a superficial front. It is an empty lie.

My background is deep and set in deep time, and in a narrow space, oral traditions going back a long, long time, which I inherited by osmosis.

Let every man judge according to his own standards, by what he has himself read, not by what others tell him.

As hipster chicks age, and their skin starts to sag, tramp stamps sink below waistbands, like the sun slipping into the sea.

It only takes one profound experience to change somebody's life.

I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy as long as I can paint.

Chimps are far too much human to be my favorite animal.

The beginning of peace is a smile
