“In some inland post feel the savagery, the utter savagery, had closed round him--all that mysterious life of the wilderness that stirs in the forest, in the jungles, in the hearts of wild men. There's no initiation either into such mysteries. He has to live in the midst of the incomprehensible, which is detestable. And it has a fascination, too, which goes to work upon him. The fascination of the abomination--you know.

“A brotherly person rejoices on my account when he approves me, but when he disapproves, he is loving me. To such people I will reveal myself. They will take heart from my good traits, and sigh with sadness at my bad ones. My good points are instilled by you and are your gifts. My bad points are my faults and your judgements on them. Let them take heart from the one and regret the other. Let both praise and tears ascend in your sight from brotherly hearts, your censers. ...But you Lord...Make perfect my imperfections.” PeopleHeartPersonsPerfectLordSadnessTearsRegretAccountsSightPraiseFaultsJudgementAccountabilityImperfectionRejoiceTraitsSighBrotherlyLoving Me Author:Saint Augustine
“Father, One day, a woman walked into my life. I hurt her deeply with the harshest words possible. I pushed her away as much as I could. But, she still came back to me. She is so much like me; I look at myself often when I look at her. She has the physical wounds that I have. The tears that fill my brain are flowing through her heart as well. I gave her those wounds. I made her cry. I should not have met her. I should not have allowed her to come into the life of a guy like me. Father, I'm regretting it. This is the first time... that I have ever regretted anything in my life.” ShouldFirstsWellsLooksHeartMadeStillsGuyFatherHurtBrainCryTearsRegretDramaMetsOne DayFirst TimeWoundsLike Me Author:Ma-Roo

“I once picked up a woman from a garbage dump and she was burning with fever; she was in her last days and her only lament was: My son did this to me. I begged her: You must forgive your son. In a moment of madness, when he was not himself, he did a thing he regrets. Be a mother to him, forgive him. It took me a long time to make her say: I forgive my son. Just before she died in my arms, she was able to say that with a real forgiveness. She was not concerned that she was dying. The breaking of the heart was that her son did not want her. This is something you and I can understand.” WantHeartLongI CanRealMomentsAbleLastsMotherDyingSonRegretArmsLong TimeConcernedMadnessDiedForgivingBurningMy SonGarbageFeverDumpLast DayLamentYour Son Author:Mother Teresa
“Almost all men are over anxious. No sooner do they enter the world than they lose that taste for natural and simple pleasures so remarkable in early life. Every hour do they ask themselves what progress they have made in the pursuit of wealth or honor and on they go as their fathers went before them till weary and sick at heart they look back with a sigh of regret to the golden time of their childhood.” MenWorldLooksHeartMadeAsksFatherHoursLosesNaturalWealthSimplePleasureProgressChildhoodRegretHonorTasteSickPursuitGoldenRemarkableAnxiousWearySighSimple PleasuresEarly LifePursuit Of Wealth Book:Italy, a Poem Source: Italy, a Poem
