The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children. Dietrich Bonhoeffer If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be. Maya Angelou Scars remind us of where we’ve been, they don’t have to dictate where we’re going. Criminal Minds Do one thing every day that scares you. Eleanor Roosevelt I’ll play it first, and tell you what it is later. Miles Davis Do not fear mistakes. There are none. Miles Davis I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones. John Cage I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special. Shelby, Steel Magnolias We should handle it the best way we know how and get on with it. That’s what my mind says, I just wish somebody would explain it to my heart.

——– More than a Quote: Late one evening, DL Moody, the premier American evangelist of the 1800s, arrived home from speaking at a meeting. Emma, his wife, was already asleep. As her exhausted husband climbed into bed, she rolled over and murmured, “So how did it go tonight?” “Pretty well,” he replied. “Two and a half converts.” His wife lay silently for a moment pondering this response, then finally smiled. “That’s sweet,” she replied. “How old was the child?” “No, no, no,” Moody answered. “It was two children and one adult! The children have their whole lives in front of them. The adult’s life is already half-gone.” (from Too Small to Ignore by Wess Stafford)
