There's never a tear drop, That God doesn't see,He knows when a sparrow falls from a tree,There's never a moment when God doesn't care.Never a time when he won't hear our pray

Friendship

Friends are the sunshine of life.


A joy shared is a joy doubled.


Friendship is one mind in two bodies. Unknown Friends are the siblings God never gave us.


A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship
And he answered saying:
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.


The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.

Fear of Failure

Go back a little to leap further.


It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Half of the failures in life come from pulling one's horse when he is leaping.

I failed my way to success.

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.

Happiness

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Happiness does not consist in pastimes and amusements but in virtuous activities.


Happiness resides not in posessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.

Inspiration from the Bible

Romans 12:19-21
19 Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord. 20 But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head. 21 Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good. Romans 12:14
14 Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you.
Matthew 6:14-15
14 For if you let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will have forgiveness from your Father in heaven. 15 But if you do not let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will not have forgiveness from your Father for your sins.
Matthew 6:12
12 And make us free of our debts, as we have made those free who are in debt to us.
Matthew 5:7
7 Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.
Matthew 5:39-42
39 But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned. 40 And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe from him. 41 And whoever makes you go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.
Matthew 26:28
28 Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.
Matthew 18:21-22
21 Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times? 22 Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Till seven times; but, Till seventy times seven.
Mark 11:25
25 And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven.
Luke 6:27-37

To know Happiness

"Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention."
