Words form the thread on which we string our experiences.

You're the only one that I would be glad to be close to forever, because all your secrets are bright and good and I love you for them.

Never wound a snake; kill it.

Harriet Tubman

The Lord builds up Jerusalem,And gathers nations to his Name:His mercy melts the stubborn soul,And makes the broken spirit whole.He form'd the stars, those heavenly flames,He counts their numbers, calls their names:His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound,A deep where all our thoughts are drown'd.Great is our Lord, and great his might;And all his glories infinite:He crowns the meek, rewards the just,And treads the wicked to the dust.Sing to the Lord, exalt him high,Who spreads his cloud all round the sky,There he prepares the fruitful rain,Nor lets the drops descend in vain.He makes the grass the hills adorn,And clothes the smiling fields with corn,The beasts with food his hands supply,And the young ravens when they cry.What is the creature's skill or force,The sprightly man, the warlike horse,The nimble wit, the active limb?All are too mean delights for him.But saints are lovely in his sight;He views his children with delight:He sees their hope, he knows their fear,And looks and loves his image there.

Isaac Watts, Psalm 147

My father taught me that you can you read a hundred books on wisdom and write a hundred books on wisdom but unless you apply what you learned then its only words on a page. Life is not lived with intentions but action.

Shannon L. Alder

The dog is the most faithful of animals and would be much esteemed were it not so common. Our Lord God has made His greatest gifts the commonest.

Bod said, I want to see life. I want to hold it in my hands. I want to leave a footprint on the sand of a desert island. I want to play football with people. I want, he said, and then he paused, and thought. I want everything.

Neil Gaiman

I've known too many men who never quite felt married no matter how many wives they'd been through. Their own and otherwise.

Orson Scott Card

I wear my Pen as others do their Sword. To each affronting sot I meet, the word Is Satisfaction: straight to thrusts I go, And pointed satire runs him through and through.

John Oldham, Satire upon a Print

A doctor must work eighteen hours a day and seven days a week. If you cannot console yourself to this, get out of the profession.
