Quote by Raymond D. Longoria Jr.

“Somewhere down the winding road that leads through the valley of Love, Wisdom and Understanding, you'll realize that you're truly ready, that you've grown so much, that fear is a fading memory because of the Faith that has taken its place. You'll know when this happens because you will find yourself fully grateful and accepting of EVERYTHING that you have ever experienced, you will feel comfortable in your skin, comfortable in silence having no need for wasteful distractions. You'll realize that you trust, and are no longer desperate for ANYTHING except to serve in the raising up of your fellow beings.”

“Начинът, по който ме пита дали му вярвам, сякаш моето доверие е най-важното нещо в целия му свят ме карат да се чувствам като най-специалното същество на планетата и не мисля много, преди да му отговоря. - Вярвам ти. И аз също те обичам. Целуваме се. Бавно и страстно, сякаш имаме цялото време на света. Притегля ме по-близо към себе си и аз зарявам пръсти в косата му, изолирайки всичко останало, сякаш всяко нещо извън нас и този момент е изкривена фантазия, а не реалност. После устните му се местят от моите, надолу по шията ми, по раменете ми. Притискам лице във врата му, така че да усетя аромата му и се замислям, че на света няма по-съвършено усещане. Всяка болка, всеки страх и всяка заплаха си струват момента и няма нещо, което да може да ме убеди в обратното.”

“I cling to him, wishing I could ease his pain. I wish I could take his burdens and make them mine. "It's weird, isn't it?" he says. "What is?" "If we were naked right now, I'd be dead." "Shut up," I say, laughing against his chest. We're both wearing long sleeves, long pants. As long as my face and hands don't touch his skin, he's perfectly safe. "Well, it's true." "In what alternate universe would I ever be naked with you?" "I am just saying," he says. "Shit happens. You never know." "I think you need a girlfriend." "Nah," he says. "I just need a hug from my friend." I lean back to look at him. Try to read his eyes. "You're my best friend, Kenji. You know that, right?" "Yeah, kid." He grins at me. "I do. And I can't believe I got stuck with your skinny ass.”

“Thus I set off at a venture, having no resource but in the Lord's mercy and faithfulness; and, indeed, what other can we wish for? Presently my subject opened; and I know not when I have been favoured with more liberty. Why do I tell you this? Only as an instance of His goodness, to encourage you to put your strength in Him, and not to be afraid even when you feel your own weakness and insufficiency most sensibly. We are never more safe, never have more reason to expect the Lord's help, than when we are most sensible that we can do nothing without Him.”

“Loss of trust matters because distrust leads people to disengage from their communities, reduce commitment to their workplace and lose the degree to which they share important information with each other. In short, without trust, people focus on self-protection and become unwilling to make themselves vulnerable. (...) People who lack trust are limited in what they can accomplish together.”
