If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,
and not to worry cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these.

I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.

We all should choose our friends carefully.
I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.
If you think like that, you surround yourself with
other people who are willing to tell you who you are,
which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.
- Jewel
Love bravely, live bravely, be courageous;

There's no wrong you can't make right again,
so be kinder to yourself;
have fun, take chances. There are no bounds.

I need to figure out how to be happy...
and I'm willing.

Gather yourself by the sea shore and I will love you there.
Assemble yourself with wild things,
with songs of the sparrow and sea-foam.
Let mad beauty collect itself in your eyes
and it will shine - Calling me.

A man who will Kiss the Flame.

You always feel better when you sing.
Music touches people's hearts.
You know, it doesn't go through your mental capacity,
it just moves you and it will let you cry.

and move yourself at the same

I'm having a bad day. I am not size six.
My legs are not skinny as sticks,
and dammit, someone's got to pay.
I'm afraid that I can't satisfy myself

I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall.
You're so shallow.

Maybe I could have loved you better.

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men
who walked through the huts comforting others,

can be taken from a man but one thing:
to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances,
to choose one's own way.

I know that all work is Thy work, and that no task is too difficult
or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.
