Lighting the Path Less Taken

"It is not work that kills men, it is worry.
Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade.
It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction."
-- Henry Ward Beecher

ahah good point Hermie!

"Work is the basis of living. I'll never retire. A man'll rust
out quicker than he'll wear out."

-- Harland Sanders
***************
Silence
In the ocean of silence you may discover your eternal treasures of peace, love and happiness.
In silence, you can let bad feelings and past sorrows dissolve. In silence you can hear the whisper of God saying "Come child and rest with Me.
You are a peaceful soul."
*******************

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others
without getting a few drops on yourself.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The most wasted of all days is one without laughter."

-- E E. Cummings

Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

At times our own light goes out
and is rekindled by a spark from another person. 
Each of us has cause to think
with deep gratitude
of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Albert Schwietzer
******************

I read and walked for miles at night along the beach,
writing bad blank verse and
searching endlessly for someone wonderful
who would step out of the darkness
and change my life.
It never crossed my mind that that person
could be me.
~ Anna Quindlen

"Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion,
for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric."

-- Bertrand Russell
******************

Let others lead small lives,
but not you.
Let others argue over small things,
but not you.
Let others cry over small hurts,
but not you.
Let others leave their future in someone else's hands,
but not you.

- Jim Rohn
