Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.

—Saint John of Kronstadt
Sunday Inspiration: Humility
Virtue without humility is not virtue.
—Saint Pachomios of Chios

Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.

Sunday Inspiration: Limitless Power
Do not be silent; there is no limit to the power that may be released through you.
