Words for Quiet Moments
“We must be meek and loving, even toward ourselves, especially toward ourselves.”
Thomas Merton
“Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with all its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“A story that guides is a story that opens a door and offers us space in which to search and boundaries to help us find what we seek; but it does not tell us what to do or how to do it.”
Henri Nouwen
