Sunday Inspiration: Changing the Ending
You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
—C. S. Lewis
Sunday Inspiration: The Majority
A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right, and evil doesn’t become good, just because it’s accepted by a majority.
—Booker T. Washington
Sunday Inspiration: The Journey
It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.
—Ursula K. LeGuin
Sunday Inspiration: Love Is a Struggle
Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.
—Fred Rogers
Sunday Inspiration: Character
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
—Simon Sinek
Sunday Inspiration: Escapism
It is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which “escape” is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?
—J. R. R. Tolkien
Sunday Inspiration: Talents
Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best.
—Henry van Dyke
Sunday Inspiration: The Best Revenge
The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.
—Marcus Aurelius
Sunday Inspiration: Before
Before you act, Listen. Before you react, Think. Before you spend, Earn. Before you criticize, Wait. Before you pray, Forgive. Before you quit, Try.
—William Arthur Ward
Sunday Inspiration: Character
If you lose your wealth, you have lost nothing; if you lose your health, you have lost something; but if you lose your character, you have lost everything.
—Woodrow Wilson
