"Mark the passages that go deep into my heart, that move me deeply, that make sense, that express something which is already within my experience."
Robert Murray M'Cheyne
"You will never find Jesus so precious as when the world is one howling wilderness. Then He is like a rose blooming in the midst of the desolation, a rock rising above the storm."
Robert Murray M'Cheyne
"Set not your hearts on the flowers of this world. They fade and die. Prize the Rose of Sharon and the Lilly of the Valley. He changes not. Live nearer to Christ than to any person on this earth."
John Wesley
"Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with You my heart to share?
Lord, tear it out and reign alone
The Lord of every passion there
Then shall my heart from earth be free
When it had found its all in Thee."
That strives with You my heart to share?
Lord, tear it out and reign alone

"A noisy life not only competes with the Divine message, it distorts what it cannot drown out altogether."
Lloyd Lee Wilson
"God's presence is an ongoing personal conversation, not an intermittent and infrequent reception of a general broadcast. It is as if whenever we stop and listen, we discover that God is already speaking with us."
Kahill Gibran
"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet, and the winds long to play with your hair."
Pat DeWitt Thomas
"I want to be the kind of person that God would want to walk with in the garden, in the cool of the day. That is my quest; my one simple motive for what I do."
Barbara Tuchman
"I am a seeker of the small facts, not the big explanation; a narrator, not a philosopher."
John O'Donohue
"Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back. From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing that will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment. The eternal makes you urgent."
The Dalai Lama

Meister Eckhart
"People should not worry about what they do but rather what they are. If you are righteous, then what you do will also be righteous. We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, because it is not our works that sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.
Richard Leider
"The most fortunate people on earth are those who have found a calling bigger than they are...that moves them and fills their lives with constant passion, aliveness, and growth."
Dalai Lama
"We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us, and make us kinder. You always have the choice."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."
Pat DeWitt Thomas
"I was taught that when someone else is speaking I need to be silent and listen. God is never silent as He speaks through nature and through the Scriptures. When I am in their presence I need to be silent and listen."
Pat DeWitt Thomas
"My religion is my relationship with God. My spirituality is the fruit of that relationship. My religion sustains my spirituality. My spirituality sustains my religion. The two are as one."
E.F. Schumacher
"Perhaps we cannot raise the winds. But each of us can put up the sail, so that when the wind comes we can catch if."
Abraham Lincoln
"If there is anything that links the human to the divine, it is the courage to stand by a principle when everyone else rejects it."
