“Life was not intended to be simply a round of work, no matter how interesting and important that work may be. A moment’s pause to watch the glory of a sunrise or a sunset is soul-satisfying, while a bird's song will set the steps to music all day long.” MayLongImportantSoulMatterMomentsSongInterestingStepsWatchesGloryBirdRoundsSunsetSatisfyingSunrisePauses Book:Little house in the Ozarks: a Laura Ingalls Wilder sampler : the rediscovered writings Source: Little house in the Ozarks: a Laura Ingalls Wilder sampler : the rediscovered writings
“We should, to begin with, think that God leads a very interesting life, and that he is full of joy. Undoubtedly he is the most joyous being in the universe. The abundance of his love and generosity is inseparable from his infinite joy. All of the good and beautiful things from which we occasionally drink tiny droplets of soul-exhilarating joy, God continuously experiences in all their breadth and depth and richness.” ThinkingShouldSoulBeautifulJoyUniverseInterestingDrinkInfiniteDepthTinyGenerosityAbundanceBeautiful ThingsHis LoveVery InterestingRichnessJoyousInseparableExhilaratingBreadthInteresting LifeDropletsJoy God Author:Dallas Willard
“As to the pretty girls who went past, from the day on which I had first known that their cheeks could be kissed, I had become curious about their souls.

“Curiosity is natural to the soul of man and interesting objects have a powerful influence on our affections. Let these influencing powers actuate, by the permission or disposal of Providence, from selfish or social views, yet in time the mysterious will of Heaven is unfolded, and we behold our conduct, from whatever motives excited, operating to answer the important designs of heaven.” MenImportantSoulHeavenSocialNaturalAnswersInterestingViewsPowerfulInfluenceDesignObjectsCuriosityAffectionExcitedSelfishMysteriousMotiveProvidencePermission Author:Daniel Boone
“Perhaps the history of the errors of mankind, all things considered, is more valuable and interesting than that of their discoveries. Truth is uniform and narrow; it constantly exists, and does not seem to require so much an active energy, as a passive aptitude of the soul in order to encounter it. But error is endlessly diversified; it has no reality, but is the pure and simple creation of the mind that invents it. In this field the soul has room enough to expand herself, to display all her boundless faculties, and all her beautiful and interesting extravagancies and absurdities.” MindDoeSoulEnoughRealitySeemsBeautifulOrderEnergySimpleInterestingRoomsMankindCreationFieldsTruth IsPureDiscoveryAll ThingsErrorsValuableActiveEncountersFacultyDisplayPassiveUniformsAbsurdityBoundlessAptitude Author:Benjamin Franklin
