The more material we lose, the less we have. The less we have, the more we win.

The universe doesn't know good or bad, only less or more.

What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.

Scripture has the remedy for sinfulness.

We are but faint-hearted crusaders...our expeditions are but tours...half the walk is but retracing our steps. We should go forth on the shortest walks, perchance, in the spirit of stirring adventure, never to return, --prepared to send back our embalmed hearts only as relics to our desolate kingdoms...if you have paid your debts and made your will, and settled all your affairs, and are a free man, then you are ready for a walk.

Pope John Paul II once said as well, __ebanon is a message more than it is a country._ Now this diversity has turned into fragmentation and the richness into poverty, awaiting a miraculous remedy.
