He who tip-toes cannot stand; he who strides cannot walk.

Obedience to our Heavenly Father starts with our loving service to a needy brother.

William Arthur Ward

[T]he nature of science is not that of a steady, linear progression toward the Truth, but rather a tortuous road, often characterized by dead ends and U-turns, and yet ultimately inching toward a better, if tentative, understanding of the natural world.

Massimo Pigliucci

To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy.

Leonardo DiCaprio

You will find out that Charity is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than the kettle of soup and the full basket. But you will keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give soup and bread. This the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor, always smiling and good-humored. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting master you will see. And the uglier and the dirtier they will be, the more unjust and insulting, the more love you must give them. It is only for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the bread you give to them.

St Vincent De Paul

Jessamyn West

The secret of success is to do all you can do without thought of success.

Source Unknown

Our lives are like the talents in the parable of the three stewards. It is something that has been given to us for the time being and we have the opportunity and privilege of doing our best with this precious gift.

George Vaillant

So there he is at last. Man on the moon. The poor magnificent bungler! He can't even get to the office without undergoing the agonies of the damned, but give him a little metal, a few chemicals, some wire and twenty or thirty billion dollars and, vroom! there he is, up on a rock a quarter of a million miles up in the sky.

Russell Baker

Easy, breezy.
