"Not in achievement, but in endurance, of the human soul, does it show its divine grandeur and its alliance with the infinite."
Edward Hubbel Chapin "The moment I have realised God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds, vanishes, and I am free."
Swami Vivekananda "the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere." (James 3:17). "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." Jesus Christ "The best way to find out if you can trust someone is to trust them."
