Que je suis loin des êtres humains lorsque je suis parmi eux ! Et qu’ils sont proches de moi quand je suis loin d’eux !
"Michelangelo said the best way to judge the essential elements of a sculpture is to throw it down a hill and the unimportant pieces will break away. Sometimes life is like that. It tosses us down a hill. But when we reach the bottom and only the important things are left, that's when our vision clears. That's when we hold on tight to what we know, while hope stirs inside us. It's all a matter of perspective."
If I can open a new corner in a man's own heart to him I have not lived in vain. Life itself is the thing, not joy or pain or happiness or unhappiness. To hate is as good as to love - an enemy may be as good as a friend. Live for yourself - live your life. Then you are most truly the friend of man.
I am ignorant of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honour and my reward.
The significance of man is not in what he attains, but rather in what he longs to attain.
Your saying to me, "I do not understand you," is praise beyond my worth, and an insult you do not deserve. How mean am I when life gives me gold and I give you silver, and yet I deem myself generous.
Jésus sur la route du Calvaire est bien tombé trois fois, tu ne voudrais pas tomber cent fois, s'il le faut, pour lui prouver ton amour en te relevant avec plus de force qu'avant ta chute? (LT 89) Sainte Therese de Lisieux
Whenever my enemy provokes me to combat, I try to behave like a soldier.
Sainte Therese de Lisieux
Is there no way out of the mind? -Sylvia Plath
Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I've taken for granted. -Sylvia Plath
“Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak”
Thomas Carlyle
"I have loved to the point of madness; that which is called madness, that which to me, is the only sensible way to love." - Francoise Sagan
"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burne...Expand for more

“Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.”
The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not PROTECT you...
"Keep your face to the Sunshine
and you will not see the Shadows."
"Although the world is full of suffering,
it is also full of the overcoming of it."
~ Helen Keller ~
“Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All thing pass; God never changes. Patience attains All that it strives for. He who has God Finds he lacks nothing:God alone suffices.”
~Saint Teresa of Avila~
He that hath no sin among you, let him cast the first stone...
<3~Jesus<3~
“What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim? Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!” - Alfred Adler-
"Never does our suffering make Him happy, but it is necessary for us, and so He sends it to us, while, as it were, turning away His face.... I assure you that it costs Him dearly to fill us with bitterness. The good God, who so loves us, has pain enough in being obliged to leave us on earth to fulfill our time of trial, without our constantly telling Him of our discomfort; we must appear not to notice it...Far from complaining to Our Lord of the cross which He sends us, I cannot fathom the infinite love which has led Him to treat us this way...What a favor from Jesus, and how He must love us to send us so great a sorrow! Eternity will not be long enough to bless Him for it." -(Joy In Suffering..St. Therese de Lisieux)
Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself up for me"
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own
1 Corinthians 6:19
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
“Every day is a fresh beginning, Every morn is the world made new”".
More about Cynthia:"“In the darkest hour the soul is replenished and given strength to continue and endure.”
"In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer."
-- Albert Camus
Tough times never last, however, tough people
“Distrust all those who love you extremely upon a very slight acquaintance and without any visible reason.”
"They remember me as this shy girl sitting under the table. But they obviously didn't know what was going on in my head."".
