In the face of deep disappointment, we tend to become too discouraged, too soon. There may be something we need to learn that hasn�t yet sunk in. Maybe we should complain less and listen more. One plain fact of life is that we often think deeper and learn faster when we hurt. It sometimes takes a disaster to turn our minds and spirits into the sponges required to absorb the things that God is waiting for us to learn. ~David S. King, "Dealing Successfully with Change", Ensign, February 1981 |

It is human to want our solutions quick, easy, and simple, but that isn�t the kind of a world we live in. The answers to our problems are not always a matter of plugging a standard solution into our lives. ~David S. King, "Dealing Successfully with Change", Ensign, February 1981 |

... there are many historical examples where faith has been intensified in direct proportion to the intensity of affliction. When the storms of adversity begin to howl, the Lord�s people react by wrapping their faith, like a warm mantle, more tightly around them. ~David S. King, "Dealing Successfully with Change", Ensign, February 1981 |

... To withdraw into our private sanctuaries not only deprives others of our love, our talents, and our service, but it also deprives us of chances to serve, to love, and to be loved. ~Neal A. Maxwell |

My son, the eagle said, the life of a man is a happy time, but it is also a time to suffer and endure. Pain is able to teach courage and without courage there is nothing good: In times of fear and pin the proud heart dies, and then the power of Wanken tanka will come in and live in that heart, giving it the true courage that fears nothing, seeks not for praise, and strives for the good of all. Give many thanks for fear and pain. They are friends, and they will be yours often, often enough that you will become the man you are to be. ~The Wndwalker by Blain M. Yorgasen |

My son, a man will never learn all he needs to know with just one experience. Experiences must pile up, as boulders do at the foot of the cliff of a man's life. And as they pile up, each one will give him insight into the others, giving him the time he needs to evaluate and to think about them. In that way only will a man learn the lessons Wanken tanka would have him learn from the experiences he chooses to give him. ~The Wndwalker by Blain M. Yorgasen |

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs you must not have heard the news yet. ~Adam Smith, The Money Game |

|
|

|
Still the fair vision lives! Say nevermore that dreams are fragile things. What else endures Of all this broken world save only dreams! |
||||||||
|
|

|
For out of ourselves we can never pass, nor can there be in creation what in the creator is not. ~Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist |

|
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpeted in common hours. Henry David Thoreau, Walden |
||||||||
|
|

|
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions -- the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment and the countless infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling. ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character. ~James Rusdell Lowell |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Happy the man, and happy he alone, He who can call today his own; He who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have liv'd today. ~John Dryden, Initiation of Horace |
||||||||
|
|

|
If the day and night be such that you can greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance of flowers and swet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more immortal -- that is your success. All nature is your congratulations, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. ~Henry David Thoreau, Walden |
||||||||
|
|

|
Be like the bird That, pausing in her flight Awhile on bough too slight, Feels them give way Beneather her and yet sings, Knowing that she has wings. ~Victor Hugo |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
There is no season such delight can bring As summer, autumn, winter and spring. ~William Browne |
||||||||
|
|

|
Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakeably meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, Success |

|
No heaven can come to us unless our hearts first rest in it today. Take Heaven. The gloom of the world is but a shadow; behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. Take joy. ~Fra Giovanni |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
We live, as we dream -- alone. ~Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Beloved Pan and all ye gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul, and may the outward and the inner man be at one. ~Socrates |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
In the life of each of us, I said to myself, there is a place remote and isolated, and given to endless regret or secret happiness. ~Sarah Ome Jewitt |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. ~John Donne |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
On the plains of Hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who at the dawn of victory, sat down to wait ... and waiting died. ~Unknown |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides and following them you will reach your destiny. ~Carl Schulz |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. ~Robert Louis Stevenson |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
At Christmas I no more desire a rose Than wish a snow in May's newfangled mirth. ~Shakespeare |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain. ~Shakespeare |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
A home without a cat -- and a well-fed, well-petted and properly revered cat -- may be a perfect home, perhaps, but how can it prove title? ~Mark Twain |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
The only gift is a portion of thyself. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
The finest thing in the world is knowing how to belong to oneself. ~Michel de Montaigne |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
I lived with visions for my company, Instead of men and women, years ago, And found them gentle mates, nor thought to know A sweeter music than they played to me. ~Elizabeth Barett Browning |
