“As a writer, I am not goddess of the universes I create. I am at most a stage manager of the plentiful gifts which tumble out of the horn of plenty, which is to say there is a source so sweet and forgiving and generous that I pray every day to let that source be my guide.” UniverseStageSweetSourcePrayingForgivingGuidesPlentyManagersGenerousGoddessHornsI PrayPlentifulStage Managers Author:Rebecca Wells
“Oh! if you could only hear Intemperance with drunkards' bones drumming on the top of the wine cask the Dead March of immortal souls, you would go home and kneel down and pray God that rather than your children should ever become the victims of this evil habit, you might carry them out to Greenwood and put them down in the last slumber, waiting for the flowers of spring to come over the grave-sweet prophecies of the resurrection. God hath a balm for such a Wound, but what flower of comfort ever grew on the blasted heath of a drunkard's sepulcher?” IfsShouldChildrenSoulHomeMightLastsEvilWaitingSweetFlowerGrewPrayingHabitComfortSpringOur ChildrenDown AndVictimWineBonesWoundsGravesYour ChildrenImmortalMarchResurrectionProphecyDrunkennessPraying To GodSlumberDrunkardsDrummingImmortal SoulIntemperance Author:Thomas De Witt Talmage

“Longhaired preachers come out every night, Tryin' to tell us what's wrong and what's right. But when asked about something to eat, They will tell you in voices so sweet. You will eat (You will eat!) By and by, (By and by!) In that glorious land in the sky. (Way up high!) Work and pray, live on hay, You'll get pie in the sky when you die.

“We are not isolated islands, we are connected links in a chain. Each kind word, each smiling face, each good action, benefits our neighbor, nation, world.

Tuning our minds to the supreme consciousness, let us open our hearts and chant the words, "May everyone everywhere be happy."” WorldMindHeartKindMayActionTogetherFacesNationsConsciousnessSweetPrayingHolyBenefitsHarmonyUnityConnectedNeighborSupremeChainsIslandsLinksShoreIsolatedFragranceVibrationsKind WordsTuningGood ActionsSmiling Faces Author:Mata Amritanandamayi
“I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.” ThinkingLooksMayMadeEarthNatureTreeSweetHairArmsFoolPrayingSummerMouthsRainLovelyHungrySnowForestsLike MeLiftsBreastsNestsBosomsRobinsNature BeautyForests And TreesNature And BeautyGod And NatureNature's BeautyArbor DayInspirational TreeGod Nature Author:Joyce Kilmer
