Sunday Inspiration: A Sense of Indebtedness
Endless wonder unlocks an innate sense of indebtedness. Within our awe there is no place for self-assertion. Within our awe we only know that all we own we owe. The world consists not of things, but of tasks.
—Abraham Heschel
Sunday Inspiration: Creativity
Creativity is the residue of time wasted.
—Albert Einstein
Sunday Inspiration: A Will to Wonder
Mankind will not perish for want of information; but only for want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living. What we lack is not a will to believe but a will to wonder.
—Abraham Heschel
Sunday Inspiration: Troubles
Nothing is permanent in our troubled world. Not even our troubles.
—Charlie Chaplin
Sunday Inspiration: Coloring Books
How long will grown men and women in this world keep drawing in their coloring books an image of God that makes them sad?
—Meister Eckhart
Sunday Inspiration: Art Is Fundamental
Before a child talks they sing. Before they write they draw. As soon as they stand they dance. Art is fundamental to human expression.
—Phylicia Rashad
Sunday Inspiration: Where One Stands
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
—Martin Luther King Jr.
Sunday Inspiration: Gratitude
In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.
—Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Sunday Inspiration: Loveliness
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.
—Roald Dahl
Sunday Inspiration: Education
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
—Robert Frost
