“This conference ? of, for and about women ? is, in itself, a rainbow in the clouds. When numerous women come together and show that they care, not only for themselves but also for each other, that is the occasion when a rainbow is shining down on somebody else.” ShowsCareTogetherShiningCloudsOccasionsRainbowConferencesShining Down Author:Maya Angelou
“My daily affairs are quite ordinary; but I'm in total harmony with them. I don't hold on to anything, don't reject anything; nowhere an obstacle or conflict. Who cares about wealth and honor? Even the poorest thing shines. My miraculous power and spiritual activity: drawing water and carrying wood.” CareSpiritualWaterWealthHonorActivityConflictOrdinaryHarmonyShiningAffairObstaclesWoodsDrawingRejectsWho CaresMiraculousPoorest Author:Layman Pang
“Being carefree, you can fit in anywhere. If you’re not carefree you keep on bumping up against things. Your life becomes so narrow, so tight; it gets very claustrophobic. Carefree means being wide open from within, not constricted. Carefree doesn’t mean careless. It is not that you don’t care about others, not that you don’t have compassion or are unfriendly. Carefree is being really simple, from the inside. Dignity is not conceit but rather what shines forth from this carefree confidence.” IfsMeanCareSimpleCompassionFitDignityShiningDon't CareWideBeing RealCarelessConceitCarefreeUnfriendly Author:Tsoknyi Rinpoche
“The old man has been long at the fair. He is acquainted with the jugglers at the booths. His curiosity has been satisfied. He no longer cares for the exceptional, the monstrous, the marvelous and deformed. He looks through and beyond the gilding, the glitter and gloss, not only of things, but of conduct, of manners, theories, religions and philosophies. He sees clearer. The light no longer shines in his eyes.” MenLooksLongHas BeensPhilosophyLightEyeCareTheoryFairsShiningCuriositySatisfiedMannersHis EyesOld ManMarvelousExceptionalDiscernmentMonstrousGlitterGlossJugglers Book:Miscellany Source: Miscellany

“Genius! thou gift of Heav'n! thou Light divine! Amid what dangers art thou doom'd to shine! Oft will the body's weakness check thy force, Oft damp thy Vigour, and impede thy course; And trembling nerves compel thee to restrain Thy noble efforts, to contend with pain; Or Want (sad guest!) will in thy presence come, And breathe around her melancholy gloom: To Life's low cares will thy proud thought confine, And make her sufferings, her impatience, thine.” WantArtBodyLightCarePainSufferingCoursesForceEffortDangerDivineProudGeniusLowsWeaknessShiningBreatheNobleChecksTheeMelancholyNervesGuestsDoomImpatienceGloomTremblingDamp Book:Tales Source: Tales
“Artificiality is one curse that will drop away the moment we kneel at Jesus' feet and surrender ourselves to His meekness. Then we will not care what people think of us so long as God is pleased. Then what we are will be everything; what we appear will take its place far down the scale of interest for us. Apart from sin we have nothing of which to be ashamed. Only an evil desire to shine makes us want to appear other than we are.” PeopleThinkingWantLongMomentsCareDesireEvilJesusInterestSinFeetShiningScalesSurrenderCurseAshamedMeeknessArtificiality Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
