Quote by Donna Goddard

“When fears rise supreme, we remember that in spite of any picture to the contrary, our greatest protection is to understand that we are under no laws but God’s. God’s laws are love, strength, order, and harmony. They are invisible, yet, mighty and powerful. They silently but surely bring the hand of peace and order into seeming turmoil and fear. They are an unseen medicine bringing quiet, sure healing and stability. Such is our mainstay through all of the human experience. To the extent that we understand that we are under no laws but God’s, our fear disappears. It is not possible to be afraid when all the Universe and beyond is working under the infinitely good orchestration of the Divine. Armed with these simple truths, we radiate a firm and unshakeable knowledge that there is, in every situation, an inner and higher reality which is unmarred by the many, different human dramas. We help those around us with our serenity and trust. Each one of us is loved greatly. No person or event or anything on Earth and beyond can take this from us.”

“My friend Peter Schneider, the great novelistic chronicler of Berlin life, once researched and wrote a true story about a wartime episode. It involved the sheltering of those Berlin Jews who had violated the Nazi race laws by marrying Aryans. Some hundreds of these people were saved, in an informal arrangement whereby some thousands of ordinary Berliners provided a bed for the night here, a ration book there. Peter thought that the publication of this account would be well-received; there is always a market for stories about decent Germans. Instead the reaction was a surly one. It took him some time to realise that by describing the brave and generous but low-level and unheroic conduct of so many citizens, he had undermined the moral alibi of many thousands more, whose long-standing excuse for their own inaction had been that, under such terror, no gesture of resistance had been possible. This depressing discovery need not blind us to the true moral, which is that everybody can do something, and that the role of dissident is not, and should not be, a claim of membership in a communion of saints. In other words, the more fallible the mammal, the truer the example.”

“Fearlessness is a great enabler; it helps you to live intelligently, to live happily. What if you are willing to fail, to lose, to even die? How would you then live your Life? That Life is possible – if only you chose to be fearless by looking your fears in the eye. Doing this will awaken you to a whole new world where social definitions and labels of success and failure don’t matter anymore. When you are fearless, you need no external validation. In that state, you are truly happy – no matter what the circumstances are!”

“Our  truest  selves  will  always  be  found  through  our worst  times  in  our  lives.  Through  the  worst  and darkest  time,  I  met  a  gentle  soul,  but  powerful woman  of  God.  She  was  one  of  those  warriors battling  for  God’s  sons  and  daughters.  She became  my  spiritual  mentor,  more  so,  a  great woman  that  imparted  in  me  a  bravery,  that  spoke life  and  endurance  into  my  spirit.”

“There  are  moments  in  our  lives,  we  sometimes  forget  who  we  were  born  to  be  and  there  are times  we  lose  sight  of  that  person,  but  then  something  happens  and  you  realize  that  you’ve  gotten your  second  chance,  a  new  beginning,  hope  to  be the  best  version  of  yourself.  You  realize  that  the person  you  once  were,  is  part  of  the  history;  part  of what  makes  all  this  great,  because  for  once  I,  Alex, believe  in  the  immensity  of  who  I  truly  am.”

“I realized then what had happened. She had turned us--all of us, except for Mouse--into great, gaunt, long-legged hounds. Wonderful!" Lea said, pirouetting upon one toe, laughing. "Come, children!" And she leapt off into the jungle, nimble and swift as a doe. A bunch of us dogs stood around for a moment, just sort of staring at one another. And Mouse said, in what sounded to me like perfectly understandable English, "That bitch.”
