No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true.

Nathaniel Hawthorne
US author (1804 - 1864)

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.

- E.E. Cummings

The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

Lenz: inspiring words for someone who loves to travel and meet people!

God, a man of his word

My word is like the snow and the rain
that comes down from the sky to water the earth.
They make the crops grow
and provide seed for planting and food to eat.

So also will be the word that I speak -
it will not fail to do what I plan for it;
it will do everything I send it to do.

Isaiah 55:10-11

Money should not be a major factor in influencing one's outlook and attitude in life.

You cannot run away from a weakness; you must sometimes fight it out or perish. And if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?

Robert Louis Stevenson
Scottish author (1850 - 1894)

God does not need to receive but human beings need to give. - wise saying

There are no certainties I know of in life except for God.

It is not His existence which is uncertain but our beliefs about Him that is.

Does He exist? Is He against or for us? Is He watching over us?

It is our fickle yes and no that contributes to our insecurity in this life.

Any better place to invest our faith and hope other than the Lord?

so i say to the non-religious that you may not believe in a god, but do not stop believing in the possible immensity of Love.

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night
and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest
battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.

-- E. E. Cummings
