Verbal Silence
“Also she had the power of silent sympathy. That sounds rather dull, I know, but it’s not so dull as it sounds. It just means that a person is able to know that you are unhappy, and to love you extra on that account, without bothering you by telling you all the time how sorry she is for you.”
**The Railway Children
Our Role In Life
“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”
**J.R.R.Tolkein
Best Intentions
“On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.”
**George Orwell
That pesky inner voice
“She generally gave herself very good advice,
(though she very seldom followed it).”
~~Lewis Carroll
