where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith;

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add color to my sunset sky.
- Rabindranath Tagore

As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
- Reinhold Niebuhr

Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...
It's about learning how to dance in the rain.
- Vivian Greene

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
- C. S. Lewis

There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.
- Albert Einstein

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
- although attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, this prayer first appeared (written in French) in 1912
