Teilhard de Chardin

I'm very happy to say that my home life is my haven.

Derek Acorah Quote

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice.

Meister Eckhart

When the act of reflection takes place in the mind, when we look at ourselves in the light of thought, we discover that our life is embosomed in beauty.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The highest knowledge is to know that we are surrounded by mystery. Neither knowledge nor hope for the future can be the pivot of our life or determine its direction. It is intended to be solely determined by our allowing ourselves to be gripped by the ethical God, who reveals Himself in us, and by our yielding our will to His.

Albert Schweitzer

The mistake made by all previous systems of ethics has been the failure to recognize that life as such is the mysterious value with which they have to deal. All spiritual life meets us within natural life. Reverence for life, therefore, is applied to natural life and spiritual life alike. In the parable of Jesus, the shepherd saves not merely the soul of the lost sheep but the whole animal. The stronger the reverence for natural life, the stronger grows also that for spiritual life.

Albert Schweitzer

Our personal consumer choices have ecological, social, and spiritual consequences. It is time to re-examine some of our deeply held notions that underlie our lifestyles.

Denis Waitley

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

Anne Frank

We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end.

Benjamin Disraeli

We are not here merely to make a living. We are here to enrich the world.

Woodrow Wilson

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Carl Jung

Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.
