will affect your life in the most profound way."

because we just can’t help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them because
we owe them at least that much."
Meredith Grey

Spirtuality
"Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It
is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask
ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing
small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are
all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the
glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in
everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give
other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our
own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is
a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

"You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith."

"A great swindle of our time is the assumption that science has made religion obsolete. All science has damaged is the story of Adam and Eve and the story of Jonah and the Whale. Everything else holds up pretty well, particularly lessons about fairness and gentleness. People who find those lessons irrelevant in the twentieth century are simply using science as an excuse for greed and harshness. Science has nothing to do with it, friends."
Kurt Vonnegut
"What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family"
Mother Teresa
"Be strong and of good courage: Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: For the Lord is with thee withersoever thou goest"
Joshua 1:9
"I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much"
Mother Teresa
"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop"
Mother Teresa
"God doesn't play dice"
Albert Einstein
 "Humor is one of God's most marvelous gifts. Humore gives us smiles, laughter, and gaiety. Humore makes our heavy burdens light and smoothes the rough spots in our pathways"
Sam Ervin
"The rainbow of God's promises is always above the trials and storms of life"

Funny Quotes
 “Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
