Every person is really three people:
The person they think they are.
The person others think they are.
The person they really are.
We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are.
— Max DePree
***************
Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it.
Bitterness paralyses life; love empowers it.
Bitterness sours life; love sweetens it.
Bitterness sickens life; love heals it.
Bitterness blinds life; love anoints it eyes.
— Harry Emerson Fosdick
***************
(But I remembered Milton’s Paradise).
They took away what should have been my ears,
(Beethoven came and wiped away my tears).
They took away what should have been my tongue,
(But I had talked with God when I was young).
He would not let them take away my Soul –
Possessing that, I still possess the whole.
— Helen Keller
