Quotes to Live By!
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of
giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender
hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and
bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that
is a friend who cares.
Henri Nouwen
When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that its bottomless, that it doesnt
have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is
there, as well as how much space.
Pema Chodron
God may be invisable, but
He's in touch. You may not be able
to see Him, but he's in control. And that
includes what you just lost. That includes
what you've just gained. That includes all of
life- past, present, future.
-Charles Swindoll
I think only through suffering all our wonderful human qualities come out in us.
Unless and until you suffer, how will
you understand other's suffering?"
-Sree Chakravarti
