"When the morning's freshness has been replaced by the weariness of midday, when the leg muscles quiver under the strain, the climb seems endless, and, suddenly, nothing will go quite as you wish - it is then that you must not hesitate."
"Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean. The dream explains why we need to be forgiven, and why we must forgive. In the presence of God, nothing stands between Him and us - we are forgiven. But we cannot feel His presence if anything is allowed to stand between ourselves and others."
"How humble the tool when praised for what the hand has done."
"Maturity: among other things - not to hide one's strength out of fear, and consequently, live below one's best."
"Never, 'for sake of peace and quiet,' deny your own experience or convictions."
"Rumi: The lovers of God have no religion but God alone."
"Thomas a Kempis: Why do you seek rest? You were only created to labor."
"The everlastingness of things - an ironic commentary upon your claims of ownership"
-Dag Hammarskjold, Markings
