"I don't like work--no man does--but I like what is in the work--the chance to find yourself."

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature--trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...We need silence to be able to touch souls."

Mother Teresa

“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one."

"A quiet morning with a loving God puts the events of the
upcoming day into proper perspective."

John Muir

“Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
