Anxiety is the poison of human life; the parent of many sins and of more miseries.

Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

C.S. Lewis

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Maya Angelou

In this age of the rule of brute force, it is almost impossible for anyone to believe that any one else could possibly reject the law of the final supremacy of brute force
