Hafiz
Every child has known God,
Not the God of names,
Not the God of don'ts,
Not the God who ever does Anything weird,
But the God who knows only four words.
And keeps repeating them, saying:
“Come Dance with Me , come dance.”

The Road Ahead of Me
Thomas Merton
Beloved Creator, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me,
I cannot know for certain where it will end
Nor do I really know myself,and the fact that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this to you you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore I will trust you always
though I may seem to be lost
and in the shadow of death
I will not fear for you are with me
And you will never leave me to face my perils alone

Expectations
Fritz Perl
I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live
up to mine.

Getting Started
Author Unknown
No matter how intelligent or able you may be, if you don’t have a sense of urgency, now is the time to start developing it. The world is full of very competent people who honestly intend to do things tomorrow, as soon as they can get around to it. Their accomplishments, however, seldom match those of the less talented who are blessed with a sense of the importance of getting started now.
