words of wisdom... jotted down by others...

"Real life is about reacting quickly to the opportunity at hand, not the opportunity you envisioned. Not thinking and scheming for the future, but letting it happen." - Conan O'Brien (comedian)

"Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future." - Lewis B Smedes (professor of theology and ethics at Fuller Theological Seminary)

"The quest for truth must be carried out by each person individually. It is life breathing, something which no one else can do for us." - Seyyed Hossein Nasr (philosopher, writer, and professor at GWU)

"Giving back involves a certain amount of giving up." - Colin Powell

"Peace that demands unreal conditions is a deception. There is no life wihtout work, anxieties or tensions. Peace is not found in avoiding these but in understanding them and controlling their force." - Sister Wendy Beckett (catholic nun)
