I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd advertise — you know!
How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
~ Emily Dickinson
c. 1861
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is
born with potential. Without courage, we cannot
practice any other virtue with consistency.
We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
~ Maya Angelou
~ For Someone Thoughtful ~
It only takes one smile to offer welcome...
and blessed be the person who will share it.
It only takes one moment to be helpful...
and blessed be the person who will spare it.
It only takes one joy to lift a spirit...
and blessed be the person who will give it.
It only takes one life to make a difference
and blessed be the person who will live it.
~ Amanda Bradley
COURAGE
Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows it not, knows no release
From little things;
Knows not the livid loneliness of fear,
Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear
The sound of wings.
~ Amelia Earhart
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —
~ Emily Dickinson
c. 1868
If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury;
but if you injure him you will always remember.
~ Kahlil Gibran
