“Words are really powerful. I don't believe that axiom at all - words can absolutely hurt you. Words can wound. They can do a lot of damage. I think they can do way more damage than sticks and stones. I'll take sticks and stones.” ThinkingWayBelieveCan DoHurtPowerfulStonesSticksDon't BelieveWoundsDamageAxiomsReally PowerfulSticks And Stones Author:Mary-Louise Parker
“It has become a common feeling, I believe, as we have watched our heroes falling over the years, that our own small stone of activism, which might not seem to measure up to the rugged boulders of heroism we have so admired, is a paltry offering toward the building of an edifice of hope. Many who believe this choose to withhold their offerings out of shame. This is the tragedy of the world. For we can do nothing substantial toward changing our course on the planet, a destructive one, without rousing ourselves, individual by individual, and bringing our small, imperfect stones to the pile.” WorldYearsBelieveFeelingsSeemsMightFallCoursesIndividualI BelieveCan DoCommonBuildingPlanetsHeroStonesTragedyShameActivismDestructiveImperfectOfferingHeroismEdificeRuggedBoulders Book:Anything We Love Can Be Saved: A Writer's Activism Source: Anything We Love Can Be Saved: A Writer's Activism
“If you're feeling alone, and your weariness has grown, look up above, and thank God for His love. There's nothing you can do, to change His love for you; hold on friend, it's not the end. Something beautiful will come, the clouds will part for the sun, the skies will break for the Son, and the Father will say 'Well done.' But until then, until then, you're not alone. He can make bread from stone. Hold on to Him, and He'll hold on to you. Take one day at a time, pray for faith and be kind, and when forgetful becomes your mind, remember what He said, 'You are mine.'” IfsMindWellsLooksKindSaidEndsDoneFeelingsBeautifulRememberFatherCan DoBreakSunSkyMinesSonPrayingOne DayStonesCloudsBreadLook UpBe KindThank GodHis LoveNot AloneWell DoneWearinessSomething BeautifulOne Day At A TimeForgetfulFeeling AloneTake One Day At A Time Author:Nick Vujicic

And with many people the wisest thing you can do, is to resolve to make use of those whom you cannot alter.” PeopleUseCan DoPathStonesAngryFoolishResolveWisestIndignant Author:Arthur Schopenhauer
