When will our consciences grow so tender
that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
- Eleanor Roosevelt

you should put a good deal of thought
into the happiness that you are able to give.
- Eleanor Roosevelt

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves.
The process never ends until we die.

by doing the things he fears to do,
provided he keeps doing them until he gets

not even your child's.
The influence you exert is through your own life,
and what you've become yourself.

in which I must stop and look fear in the face.
I say to myself, I've lived through this
and can take the next thing that comes along.

You can't move so fast that you try to change
the mores faster than people can accept it.

I used to tell my husband that,

I think, at a child's birth,
if a mother could ask a fairy godmother

that gift should be curiosity.

One must never, for whatever reason,
turn his back on life.

it would cease to be life,

Important ideas can come from unexpected places.
We tend to label people - Genius, Idiot,
Socialist, Regressive, Wingnut, Revolutionary, Terrorist.

It is equally important to avoid accepting any idea
merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

only because one is looking at the bottom line,
at the budget of the company, seeking only profit -

Hold on... Joyfully.
Holding-on does not have to be

"this is just the nature of Life,
so I may as well enjoy it"
kind of holding-on.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

The River of Life just IS.
