“However we may flatter ourselves to the contrary, our friends think no higher of us than the world do. They see us through the jaundiced or distrustful eyes of others. They may know better, but their feelings are governed by popular prejudice. Nay, they are more shy of us (when under a cloud) than even strangers; for we involve them in a common disgrace, or compel them to embroil themselves in continual quarrels and disputes in our defense.” ThinkingKnowsWorldMayFeelingsEyeCommonHigherPrejudiceCloudsStrangerDefenseContraryShyDisputesQuarrelsDisgrace Book:Liber Amoris and Related Writings Source: Liber Amoris and Related Writings
“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
“Like all passions, anger has degrees, ascending from slight vexation through deepening clouds to rage, and finally to fury, which is a black and horrible tempest. In its mid-region, where it is neither too little to be motive nor too furious to be ungovernable, it has usefulness. For all feeling is as fuel, and where there is none life has no fire, and then no flame of ascent.” LittlesFeelingsPassionBlackFireDegreesAngerCloudsRageHorribleFlamesMotiveFuelRegionsFuryUsefulnessFuriousTempestAscentVexationAscending Author:James Vila Blake
