"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."--- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." -- Edward Everett

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.-Ramona L. Anderson-
I met a man who could not see. Yet he seemed happier than me. I asked him "Why?" without his sight, and everything as dark as night. He said, "To mourn what I have not, would cost me more than I have got." He then described a lovely scene. He must have witnessed in a dream. He spoke of a peaceful summer breeze. Of resting under big shade trees. Of flowers growing by a stream. A world that's calm and so serene. And as he spoke I realized, He saw these things without his eyes. The more he shared, I was to find, It was not he, that I was blind.--Randy Lee Richards
