Saving the World

Only love can save the world.

Guiding Light theme song

Happy Trails

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous,

leading to the most amazing view.

Edward Abbey

Simplicity

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Leonardo da Vinci

Changing, Curious, Interested, and Happy

In spite of illness, in spite of the arch enemy sorrow,

one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration,

if one is unafraid of change,

insatiable in intellectual curiosity,

interested in big things,

and happy in small ways.

Edith Wharton

Giving more than you take

It's a matter of givin' more to this world than you take away from it. So when you die you don't owe it anything. It's bein' able to love when you want to hate- to forgive them that work against you- to tell the truth even when it hurts- to share your bread no matter how hungry you are yourself. Dyin' comes easy when you know you've done all these things right.

The Learning Tree by Gordon Parks

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

And for the support of this Declaration,

with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,

we mutually pledge to each other

our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Declaration of Independence-1776

4th of July

I thank God for my country, and I pray for her each day.

May our people seek his guidance. Let our leaders show the way.

God has blessed my father's homeland, made her what she's come to be.

So I thank God for my country, and what she means to me.

Sunday School song lyrics

Risks Worth Taking

Don't you sit upon the shoreline and say you're satisfied.

Choose to chance the rapids and

dare to dance the tide.

Garth Brooks song lyrics

Nature and Art

Keep your love of nature,

for that is the way to understand art more and more.

Vincent Van Gogh

Easing the Burden

What do we live for; if it is not to make life

less difficult for each other?
George Eliot
