Creativity is the residue of time wasted.

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?

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.

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.

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.
