Joy in Life
“Joy is what we are,not what we must get.Joy is the realization that all we want or need in life has been etched into our souls.Joy helps us see not what we are “going through,” but what we are “growing to”-a greater sense of understanding,accomplishment,and enlightenment.Joy reveals to us the calm at the end of the storm,the peace that surpasses the momentary happiness of pleasure. If we keep our minds centered on joy,joy becomes a state of mind.”-Iyanla Vanzant
Life in Nature
“I have climbed several higher mountains without guide or path,and have found, as might be expected,that it takes only more time and patience commonly than to travel the smoothest highway.”- Henry David Thoreau
Vision in Life
“It is good to LOOK to the past to gain appreciation for the present and perspective for the FUTURE.It is good to look upon the VIRTUES of those who have gone before;to gain STRENGTH for whatever lies ahead.It is good to REFLECT upon the work of those who labored so hard and gained so little in this world,but out of whose DREAMS and early pains,so well nurtured,has come a great gravest of which we are the beneficiaries.Their tremendous EXAMPLE can become a compelling MOTIVATION for all of us.”-Gordon B. Hinckley
Thoughts in Life
“We do not belong to those who only get their thought from books,or at the prompting of books,– it is our custom to think in the open air,walking, leaping,climbing,or dancing on lonesome mountains by preference,or close to the sea,where even the paths become thoughtful.”- Friedrich Nietzsche
Dreams in Life
“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night.”- Edgar Allan Poe
Life with Nature
“Spirit is a land of high white peaks and glittering jewel-like lakes and flowers.Life is sparse and sounds travel great distances.”- Dalai Lama
Peace in Life
“When the moon shines very brilliantly,a solitude and stillness seem to proceed from her that influence even crowded places full of life.”- Charles Dickens
Beauty of Nature
“There is not a flower that opens,not a seed that falls into the ground,and not an ear of wheat that nods on the end of its stalk in the wind that does not preach and proclaim the greatness and the mercy of God to the whole world.”-Billy Graham
Light in Life
“Joy is like restless day;but peace divine like quiet night;Lead me,O Lord,till perfect Day shall shine through Peace to Light.”- Adelaide Anne Procter
