“Great occasions rally great principles, and brace the mind to a lofty bearing, a bearing that is even above itself. But trials that make no occasion at all, leave it to show the goodness and beauty it has in its own disposition. And here precisely is the superhuman glory of Christ as a character, that He is just as perfect, exhibits just as great a spirit in little trials as in great ones.” MindLittlesCharacterShowsSpiritChristPerfectPrinciplesGoodnessGloryTrialsOccasionsDispositionExhibitsLoftyGreat OnesSuperhumanBraces Book:Nature and the Supernatural: As Together Constituting the One System of God Source: Nature and the Supernatural: As Together Constituting the One System of God
“The thought of people in this day and age sitting down to listen to a radio variety show on Saturday evening is rather implausible and was even more so in 1974 when we started “A Prairie Home Companion.” Thank goodness Minnesota Public Radio was too poor to afford good advice or the show never would've got on the air. We only did it because we knew it would be fun to do. It was a dumb idea. I wish I knew how to be that dumb again.” PeopleIdeasShowsHomeWould BeAgeFunWishPoorAirAdviceGoodnessSittingRadioEveningVarietyDumbCompanionThis DaySaturdayGood AdviceSitting DownMinnesotaPrairiePublic RadioSaturday Evening Author:Garrison Keillor
“Dear God, Please teach me to forgive myself and others. Remove the walls that keep love out, behind which I am a prisoner. Heal my guilt and remove my anger, that I might be reborn. Make gentle my heart and strong my spirit and show me how to love. Please show me how to honor myself. Please teach me how to listen to myself. "Please program my mind to know itself, that I might at last be free. Teach me to appreciate your spirit that lives within me. Show me how to be good to myself, that I might know more fully the goodness of life.

“It's odd how a person always arouses admiration for his moral qualities among the relatives of another with whom he has sexual relations. Physical love, so unjustifiably decried, makes everyone show, down to the least detail, all he has of goodness and self-sacrifice, so that he shines even in the eyes of those nearest to him.” LovePersonsSelfShowsEyeQualityMoralSacrificeGoodnessRelationShiningDetailsOddAdmirationSelf Sacrifice Author:Marcel Proust
