Quotations & Poems



"If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it."
~ Margaret Fuller


Space

Space is the most important commodity
One person can ever give to another.
It is the ingredient necessary for lasting friendship;
For marriages to survive;
For parents to always keep their children near them;
And for each person to grow whether it be in a
Relationship or individually.
Space is openness one needs for spiritual growth.
It is the freedom needed for one to have the
Right to be wrong.
                                 Bon Summers

Youth is a state of mind

Youth is not a time of life: It is a state of mind;
it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips, and supple knees;
it is a matter of will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;
it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.

YOUTH means the predominance of courage over timidity,
of adventure over the love of ease.
This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.
Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.
We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, doubt, lack of self trust, fear, despair --
these bow the heart and turn the spirit back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart
the love of wonder,
the sweet amazement of the stars and the starlike things,
the undaunted challenge of events,
the unfailing childlike appetite for "what-next" in the joy of the game of living.

You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt,
as young as your self confidence, as old as your fear,
as young as your hope, as old as your despair.

You Deserve the Best

This life is yours

Take the power
to choose what you want to do
and do it well

Take the power
to love what you want in life
and love it honestly

Take the power
to walk in the forest
and be a part of nature

Take the power
to control your own life
No one else can do it for you
Nothing is too good for you
You deserve the best

Take the power
to make your life
healthy
exciting
worthwhile
and very happy

Take the power
to reach for your dreams
