begin it ...

"Then indecision brings its own delays,
And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days.
Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute;
What you can do, or dream you can, begin it;
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

be kind ...

These words crossed my path today. I needed to hear them, thought I'd share.

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." — Plato

"Don't waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

a maze of passages ...

"Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of passages, through which we must seek our way, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley.

But always, if we have faith, a door will open for us, not perhaps one that we ourselves would ever have thought of, but one that will ultimately prove good for us."

– A.J. Cronin
