Off to the Upper Mississippi

"Along the Upper Mississippi every hour brings something new. There are crowds of odd islands, bluffs, prairies, hills, woods and villages--everything one could desire to amuse the children. Few people ever think of going there, however."

--Mark Twain

Light

"Let us not ask of the Lord deceitful riches, nor the good things of this world, nor transitory honors; but let us ask for light."

To love

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."

Give something

"Give something, however small, to the one in need. For it is not small to one who has nothing. Neither is it small to God, if we have given what we could."

Forsake thyself

Forsake thyself, resign thyself, and thou shalt enjoy a great inner peace.  Give all for all;  seek nothing;  call for nothing back;  stand purely and with a full confidence before Me, and thou shalt possess Me.

--from The Following Of Christ

Really love

"We cannot really love anyone with whom we never laugh."
--Agnes Repplier
