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

Sunday Inspiration: Attitude

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
—Abraham Lincoln

Sunday Inspiration: Music

Music is the moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
—Jean Paul Friedrich Richter

Sunday Inspiration: The Hardest Battles

“Hatun sees a different world that you or I, a far more frightening one, full of far more terrible dangers, and still she chooses to be the hero whom that world needs. She has saved this town and its people from countless monsters countless times. That the battles are usually in her head does not lesson the bravery of it. The hardest battles always are.”
—R. F. Jacaby (via William Ritter)
