O born in days when wits were fresh and clear, And life ran gaily as the sparkling Thames; Before this strange disease of modern life, With its sick hurry, its divided aims, Its heads o'ertax'd, its palsied hearts, was rife.

Keith Ablow

The rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate, God made them, high or lowly, and ordered their estate.

Cecil Frances Alexander

True love is not the helpless desire to possess the cherished object of one's fervent affection; true love is the disciplined generosity we require of ourselves for the sake of another when we would rather be selfish; that, at least, is how I have taught myself to love my wife.

Stephen L. Carter

I can find God in nature, in animals, in birds and the environment.
