Ideas for my garden - My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece. – Claude Monet

 

Doors - Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us. Helen Keller

“Look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.” “When someone 

you love says goodbye you can stare long and hard at the door they

 closed and forget to see all the doors God has open in front of you.” 

“There are so many doors to open."

Funny Story - A Royal Pain In The Airport!

  

At an airline ticket counter, all of the ticket agents were doing their best to politely process each passenger as quickly as they could.

A man at the end of the passenger line was impatient and frustrated at having to wait so long in the slow-moving line.

He finally decided to march up to the counter to demand that he be given his boarding pass.

The ticket agent turned, and said, “Sir, as you can see, there are many passengers ahead of you. We are doing our best to process the passengers as fast as we can. I’m afraid you’ll have to get back in line.”

Outraged and red in the face, the man yelled at the ticket agent, “Do you know who I am??!!”

The ticket agent turned, picked up the public address system microphone and said calmly, “There is a man at the ticket counter, who does not know who he is. Anyone who may be able to identify this man is asked to please step forward and identify him. Thank you.”

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. ~Martin Luther King Jr

 

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism

 or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. 

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded

 by the oppressed.

That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. The time is always

 right to do the right thing. 

One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.

There is nothing more majestic than the determined courage of individuals willing 

to suffer and sacrifice for their freedom and dignity.

I came to the conclusion that there is an existential moment in your life when you must decide to speak for yourself; nobody else can speak for you. ~Martin Luther King Jr
