Great quotes and article!

I like some of the quotes within Max Erhmann's Desiderata. Here is a bit of it:

"Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here."

"In the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul."

"With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world."

Some quotes in the Bible really move me as well.

Burt,
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the article.

Debbie,
Thank you!
I love that first quote. Beautiful.

One of my favorite quotes is:

"Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world´s estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences." ~ Susan B. Anthony

I can never remember it - go figure, but I just put it under "Inspiration" and up it pops

"Love is concerned with giving, abundantly and lavishly."

~Dorothy Carnegie
