Quote Left How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need; by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath. Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. Quote Right
Quote Left Language is the soul of intellect, and reading is the essential process by which that intellect is cultivated beyond the commonplace experiences of everyday life. Quote Right
Quote Left This life's dim windows of the soul Distorts the heavens from pole to pole And leads you to believe a lie When you see with, not through, the eye. Quote Right
Quote Left Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul. The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of Artist. Quote Right
Quote Left Wisdom and spirit of the Universe Thou soul is the eternity of thought That giv'st to forms and images a breath And everlasting motion Not in vain By day or star-light thus from by first dawn Of childhood didst thou intertwine for me The passions that build up our human soul, Not with the mean and vulgar works of man, But with high objects, with enduring things, With life and nature, purifying thus The elements of feeling and of thought, And sanctifying, by such discipline Both pain and fear, until we recognize A grandeur in the beatings of the heart. Quote Right
Quote Left I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you. Here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart). Quote Right
Quote Left Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul. Quote Right
Quote Left One ship sails east and another sails west With the self-same winds that blow. Tis the set of the sail and not the gale Which determines the way they go. As the winds of the sea are the ways of fate As we voyage along through life, Tis the act of the soul that determines the goal, And not the calm or the strife. Quote Right
Quote Left A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. -- ` Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood .' -- Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood. Quote Right
Quote Left I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver. Quote Right
Quote Left Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul Quote Right
Quote Left Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs. We are, and must be, one and all, burdened with faults in this world: but the time will soon come when, I trust, we shall put them off in putting off our corruptible bodies; when debasement and sin will fall from us with this cumbrous frame of flesh, and only the spark of the spirit will remain, - the impalpable principle of light and thought, pure as when it left the Creator to inspire the creature: whence it came it will return; perhaps again to be communicated to some being higher than man - perhaps to pass through gradations of glory, from the pale human soul to brighten to the seraph! Surely it will never, on the contrary, be suffered to degenerate from man to fiend? No; I cannot believe that: I hold another creed: which no one ever taught me, and which I seldom mention; but in which I delight, and to which I cling: for it extends hope to all: it makes Eternity a rest - a mighty home, not a terror and an abyss. Besides, with this creed, I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last: with this creed revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low: I live in calm, looking to the end. Quote Right
Quote Left Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the words without the tune, and never stops at all. Quote Right
Quote Left The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest. Quote Right
Quote Left What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real. Quote Right
Quote Left To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body; it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body. Quote Right
Quote Left I’ve seen too much hate to want to hate, myself, and every time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear. Somehow we must be able to stand up against our most bitter opponents and say:”We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you.... But be assured that we’ll wear you down by our capacity to suffer, and one day we will win our freedom. We will not only win freedom for ourselves; we will appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory. Quote Right
Quote Left The realization of our soul has its moral and its spiritual side. The moral side represents training of unselfishness, control of desire; the spiritual side represents sympathy and love. They should be taken together and never separated. The cultivation of the merely moral side of our nature leads us to the dark region of narrowness and hardness of heart, to the intolerant arrogance of goodness; and the cultivation of the merely spiritual side of our nature leads us to a still darker region of revelry in intemperance of imagination. Quote Right
Quote Left Be comforted, dear soul! There is always light behind the clouds. Quote Right
Quote Left Character can not be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Quote Right
Quote Left Sweet fire the sire of muse, my soul needs this; I want the one rapture of an inspiration. O then if in my lagging lines you miss Quote Right
Quote Left I have said that the soul is not more than the body, And I have said that the body is not more than the soul, And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's self is. Quote Right
Quote Left The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. Quote Right
Quote Left If we were to bring creativity down to earth, it would not have to be reserved for exceptional individuals or identified with brilliance. In ordinary life creativity means making something for the soul out of every experience. Quote Right
Quote Left Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all Quote Right
Quote Left Hope is a thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without words And never stops at all. Quote Right
Quote Left Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject. Quote Right
Quote Left Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul. And sings the tune Without the words, and never stops at all. Quote Right
Quote Left Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose- a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. Quote Right
Quote Left Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength. Quote Right

Quote Left Where laughter and stories mingle, a sacred spark ignites the journey of the soul. Quote Right
Quote Left Love is universal language of the soul. Quote Right
Quote Left LOVE: Love is like a gentle whisper that lingers on the edge of a cool breeze, then unexpectedly, it touches you and slowly caresses its way through to the depths of your heart and slips right into your Soul. Quote Right
Quote Left Be mindful of what you consume, for it shapes your being. Nourish your vessel with compassion, as your diet influences your inclinations. Choose your music judiciously, for rhythm resonates deeply with your soul. Be mindful of what you read, as words penetrate straight to your heart. Always practice prudence, for the devil’s trickery often hides in the guise of necessity. Quote Right

Quote Left If one captures the human heart...it can often imprison a penitent soul. Quote Right

Quote Left This is not a poem; this is a piece of my soul. Quote Right
Quote Left Dancing makes physical the elation of my soul. Quote Right
Quote Left Winners and Losers are false concepts created by the human mind. The only competition that exists is made up by the ego against its own Soul. Quote Right

Quote Left Music is the alter ego of poetry. And poetry, the artful expression of the soul. Music. Art. Poetry.. Quote Right
Quote Left A stolen heart is perhaps the most profound of any larceny ... its theft removes any joy that once flourished, and places anguish inside an empty soul. Quote Right
Quote Left I believe God has a plan...and all will work-out in His way and time. I don't believe that He wants animals to destroy one another in order to survive. We are missing something in our understanding of creation and Divine Purpose. Free Will is not interpreted correctly, speaking of man's profound relationship to his social and physical environments. We have far more control over things, than mankind sees, and when he does, is willing to consciously admit to his soul. Quote Right
Quote Left A clean body and a perceptive mind are reflection of one's soul. Keep them from metals, ink and perversion. Honor life and their Creator. Quote Right
Quote Left "Many say, how beautiful the face or body is. Making beauty all about the appearance. Real beauty is about the heart and soul." Quote Right

Quote Left Like a welcome interlude, silence rescues me from the exhaustion of the constant demands of daily life. As a soothing massage to an aching body, she cradles me in your her and restores my body and soul. Quote Right
Quote Left Truth is familiar to the soul...even when not heard before. Quote Right
Quote Left The glow and glitter of the body conceals not the dark of the soul. Quote Right
Quote Left Words are the outlet of the soul. Quote Right
Quote Left The existence of God is the most satisfying response to the longing of the human heart, the quest of the human mind, and the aspiration of the human soul. Without God, there is no reason to believe that we have a destiny, that we have a purpose, or that we have a hope. God is the most reasonable inference from the evidence of design, order, and purpose in nature. Without God, there is no reason to believe that the universe is intelligible, that life is meaningful, or that beauty is real. Quote Right
Quote Left The second chance is not promised, What you do in the morning has an effect On your evening. Remember all that you have is your soul. Quote Right
Quote Left Ignorance can be a window to the soul. Quote Right
Quote Left "Run to the refuge who is the anchor of your soul." Quote Right
Quote Left Sit comfortably in a quite and lowly lit place. place both hands over your and feel your heartbeat. Take in a deep breath slowly and feel your heart beat Slowly exhale feeling your Heartbeat. Take in another deep breath and feel Love encompassing your heart. Exhale slowly letting Love permeate your heart. Take in another deep breath and now feel your Love spread through out your body and soul. Exhale slowly and and feel the intensity of your love light your life. After all you are Love. Quote Right
