All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand.
Is love supposed to last throughout all time, or is it like trains changing at random stops. If I loved her, how could I leave her? If I felt that way then, how come I don't feel anything now?
The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.
By learning to discover and value our ordinariness, we nurture a friendliness toward ourselves and the world that is the essence of a healthy soul.
We rocked to a stop still on a downslope.
Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.
Ask a deeply religious Christian if he?d rather live next to a bearded Muslim that may or may not be plotting a terror attack, or an atheist that may or may not show him how to set up a wireless network in his house. On the scale of prejudice, atheists don?t seem so bad lately.
