Words For The Day


 

Service is the rent we pay for
the privilege of living on this earth.

It is the very purpose of life, and
not something you do in your spare time.

Shirley Chisolm

 

 

At first dreams seem impossible,

then improbable, then inevitable.

Christopher Reeve

 

 

In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen,

we can hear the whisper of the heart

giving strength to weakness,

courage to fear, hope to despair.

Howard Thurman

 

 

The coin that pays for ecstasy
is always stamped despair.

One cannot love empathically
until one wanders there.

 Jane Krainin
