“True friends see who we really are, hear our words and the feelings behind them, hold us in the safe harbor of their embrace, and accept us as we are. Good friends mirror our best back to us, forgive us our worst, and believe we will evolve into wise, wacky, and wonderful old people. Dear friends give us their undivided attention, encourage us to laugh, and entice us into silliness. And we do the same for them. A true friend gives us the courage to be ourselves because he or she is with us always and in all ways. In the safety of such friendships, our hearts can fully open.” PeopleWayGivingBelieveHeartFeelingsFriendshipBehindsAttentionAcceptingLaughingWiseWonderfulWorstSafeMirrorsSafetyEmbraceForgivingDearEvolveGood FriendOld PeopleTrue FriendHarborsOur WordsDear FriendWackySillinessUndivided AttentionSafe Harbor Author:Sue Thoele
“The rules that I shall propose concerning secrecy, and from which I think it not safe to deviate without long and exact deliberation, are, never to solicit the knowledge of a secret,--not willingly, nor without many limitations, to accept such confidence when it is offered; when a secret is once admitted, to consider the trust as of a very high nature, important as society and sacred as truth, and therefore not to be violated for any incidental convenience, or slight appearance of contrary fitness.” ThinkingLongImportantSecretAcceptingSafeSacredAppearanceContraryLimitationSecrecyConvenienceProposeDeliberationDeviate Book:The Works of Samuel Johnson, LL.D.: With An Essay on His Life and Genius Source: The Works of Samuel Johnson, LL.D.: With An Essay on His Life and Genius
“Let us build a structure of peace in the world in which the weak are as safe as the strong in which each respects the right of the other to live by a different system in which those who would influence others will do so by the strength of their ideas, and not by the force of their arms. Let us accept that high responsibility not as a burden, but gladly gladly because the chance to build such a peace is the noblest endeavor in which a nation can engage.” WorldIdeasDifferentStrongForceNationsPeaceChanceResponsibilityAcceptingInfluenceArmsSafeWeakStructureBurdenLive ByEndeavor Author:Richard M.

“Human beings are more alike than unalike. Whether in Paris, Texas, or Paris, France, we all want to have good jobs where we are needed and respected and paid just a little more than we deserve. We want healthy children, safe streets, to be loved and have the unmitigated gall to accept love. If we are religious, we want a place to perpetuate God. If not, we want a good lecture every once in a while. And everyone wants someplace to party on Saturday nights.” IfsWantHumansChildrenLittlesJobsNightReligiousHuman BeingsPartyAcceptingStreetsNeededHealthySafeDeservePaidFranceParisTexasSaturdayGood JobLecturesSaturday NightHealthy Children Author:Maya Angelou
“The office of Speaker is almost as ancient as Parliament itself. It emerged in the Middle Ages when the Commons - the ordinary people - of England needed a spokesman in their dealings with the King, someone who would voice their grievances and present their petitions.

“Whatever the particular call is, the particular sacrifice God asks you to make, the particular cross He wishes you to embrace, whatever the particular path He wants you to tread, will you rise up, and say in your heart, "Yes, Lord, I accept it; I submit, I yield, I pledge myself to walk in that path, and to follow that Voice, and to trust Thee with the consequences"?
