Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like the wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Ecclesiastes 7:8

’Tis the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the general flame of charity in the heart.
Washington Irving (1783-1859)

Even a small star shines in the darkness.
Danish Proverb

Imagination will often carry us into worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.
Carl Sagan (1934-96)

A talebearer reveals secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

“The deeper our faith, the more doubt we must endure; the deeper our hope, the more prone we are to despair; the deeper our love, the more pain its loss will bring: these are a few of the paradoxes we must hold as human beings. If we refuse to hold them in the hopes of living without doubt, despair, and pain, we also find ourselves living without faith, hope, and love.”
