Kurt VonnegutHorses make a landscape look beautiful.

Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.
Ralph Waldo EmersonLet us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God – the rest will be given.

Baruch SpinozaI know I got angels watchin me from the other side.
Kanye WestSaints need sinners.

Maya AngelouWe are time’s subjects, and time bids be gone.

Baruch SpinozaGod writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
Martin LutherI can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.
Helen KellerLet man live at a distance from God, and the universe remains neutral or hostile to him. But let man believe in God, and immediately all around him the elements, even the irksome, of the inevitable organize themselves into a friendly whole, ordered to the ultimate success of life.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinNothing on this earth is standing still. It’s either growing or it’s dying. No matter if it’s a tree or a human being.

John MuirHe who looks the higher is the more highly distinguished, and turning over the great book of nature (which is the proper object of philosophy) is the way to elevate one’s gaze.
Galileo GalileiI read poetry to save time.
Marilyn MonroeIt ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.

Isaac NewtonFor me, I used to be shy towards journalism because it wasn’t poetry. And then I realized that the events that I covered in essays that became journalism were actually great because they inspired me, and they became my muse.
Alice WalkerOnly God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.

Edmund HillaryThe devil is a peace stealer, and he works hard to set us up to get upset. But we can learn how to change our approach so we don’t live upset all of the time. And Jesus gives us the best example to follow.
Joyce MeyerI just think that trusting God means we’re going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we’re never going to understand them all.
Joel OsteenI would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty.
Edgar Allan PoeMy sorrow, when she’s here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane.
