Cause To Hope

The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die. ~Edward Kennedy

A strong mind always hopes, and has 

always cause to hope. ~Thomas Carlyle

Just Believe

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond

the power of reason to believe. ~Voltaire

Faith is to believe what you do not see; 

the reward of this faith is to see what 

you believe. ~Saint Augustine

Battle for Bravery

Bravery is the capacity to perform properly

even when scared half to death. ~Omar N. Bradley

Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery.

Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice.

The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in 

the power of love. ~Morihei Ueshiba

Troubles Away

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.

Some come from ahead and some come from behind.

But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.

Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me! ~Dr. Seuss

Drag your thoughts away from your troubles... 

by the ears, by the heels, or any other way 

you can manage it. ~Mark Twain

Healing Power

The power of love to change is legendary, but

in folklore, common sense, and everyday

experience. Love moves flesh, it pushes

matter around... Throughout history, "tender

loving care" has uniformly been recognized

as a valuable element in healing. ~Larry Dossey

Health is a large word. It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well... and not today's pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a woman. ~James H. West 

Strongest Souls

A hero is an ordinary individual who finds

the strength to persevere and endure in spite

of overwhelming obstacles. ~Christopher Reeve

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest

souls; the most massive characters 

are seared with scars. ~Khalil Gibran

Hope in the Darkness

Hope is being able to see that there is light

despite all of the darkness. ~Desmond Tutu

Hope is important because it can make the

present moment less difficult to bear. If we

believe that tomorrow will be better, we 

can bear a hardship today. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
