The simple heart that freely asks in love obtains.

For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'.

A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near, A little gift from one held dear, Best wishes for the coming year. These make a merry christmas!

Through this broad street, restless ever, ebbs and flows a human tide, wave on wave a living river; wealth and fashion side by side; Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.

Swan flocks of lilies shoreward lying, In sweetness, not in music, dying.

Along the river's summer walk, The withered tufts of asters nod; And trembles on its arid stalk the hoar plum of the golden-rod.

Alas for him who never sees The stars shine through his cypress-trees Who, hopeless, lays his dead away, Nor looks to see the breaking day Across the mournful marbles play!

All the windows of my heart I open to the day.

Behind the cloud the starlight lurks, Through showers the sunbeams fall; For God, who loveth all his works, Has left his Hope with all.

If thou of fortune be bereft, and in thy store there be but left two loaves, sell one, and with the dole, buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.

Green calm below, blue quietness above.

Think and then think what you have thought. Is it really what you had thought. Think again.

Give someone more time and they'll appear to have done more with it.

Like I said, I'm more worried long term about the environmental issues then the use of arms.

Stereotypes fall in the face of humanity. We human beings are best understood one at a time.

You are not copying nature, but responding to nature in full awareness, to the way nature expresses itself in that object.

Don't buy into the notion that mistakes can somehow be avoided. They can't be.

The mortification of indwelling sin remaining in our mortal bodies, that it may not have life and power to bring forth the works or deeds of the flesh is the constant duty of believers.

Anybody who's in the dressing room after the show always says, "Oh, my God, I was kind of worried that the show was going to be sleepy because you were half asleep, yawning, and not really present."

I may not be the most physical player, that's not my nature. But I am a competitor and I play as hard as I can.

A good wine has many qualities I think. If drunk moderately, it is healthy and good for your heart.
