“Continue to make the demands of the day your immediate concern, and take occasion to test the purity of your hearts and the steadfastness of your spirits. When you then take a deep breath and rise above the cares of this world and in an hour of leisure, you will surely win the proper frame of mind to face devoutly what is above us, with reverence, seeing in all events the manifestation of a higher guidance.” WorldMindHeartCareFacesSpiritWinningHoursAttitudeSeeingEventsThis WorldHigherDemandConcernTestsBreathsOccasionsGuidanceManifestationPurityReverenceLeisureRise AboveDeep BreathFrame Of MindTake A Deep BreathSteadfastness Author:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Calvin's theocentric irrationalism eventually revealed itself as the cunning to technocratic reason which had to shape its human material. Misery and the poor laws did not suffice to drive men into the workshops of the early capitalistic era.

“In my opinion what distinguishes the Bible from the other books is its sense of time. Its first concern is to establish a calendar. Then it traces a genealogy. It imposes rhythms, it orders, it operates, it does not abandon the earth where its destiny must be fulfilled and whose own destiny must be fulfilled by it. Its history will be that of men and not of idle gods. The whole spirit must become incarnate and explore the possible.” MenFirstsDoeBookWholeEarthSpiritOrderOpinionDestinyBibleConcernRhythmAbandonFulfilledIdleCalendarsGenealogy Book:The Very Rich Hours of Adrienne Monnier Source: The Very Rich Hours of Adrienne Monnier
“The gospel is a thing of joy. It provides us with a reason for gladness. Of course there are times of sorrow. Of course there are hours of concern and anxiety. We all worry. But the Lord has told us to lift our hearts and rejoice. I see so many people...who seem never to see the sunshine, but who constantly walk with storms under cloudy skies. Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine.” PeopleHeartReasonSeemsJoySpiritCoursesHoursWalksAttitudeLordWorrySkyDivineSorrowGoodnessAnxietyConcernOptimismStormLiftsSunshineRejoiceTestimonyGladnessNature BeautyCloudyThose You LoveCloudy Skies Author:Gordon B.

“The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.” IfsNeedsHumansKindArtSpiritCreativityObjectsFineExerciseUnderstoodArt IsConcernAbsolutesProductionsCraftsDivisionRequirementsFine ArtsRepercussionsHuman NeedsIndirectCraftsman Author:Jacques Maritain
