A Thought for the Week

“A show of strength is not always honest. It is not always a genuine expression of who you are.” ~ Marianne Williamson

“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more ‘manhood’ to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.” ~ Alex Karras

“This above all else: to thine own self be true.” ~ William Shakespeare

Start as you mean to go on…

A Thought for the Week

“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” ~ Buddha
