Quotes of the Heart

When you're in the grip of frustration, love can seem pretty much out of the question. Care is going to be a stretch. But
appreciation is easy—even if it starts out kind of snide like, "I appreciate the fact I haven't fallen flat on my face ... yet."
After a couple of stabs at it, you're going to stumble across one that sincerely touches you. Maybe it's your friends, your
partner, your loved ones. One strong dose of appreciation can turn your perceptions around 180 degrees.

Mother Teresa
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
Louise Erdrich
In our own beginnings, we are formed out of the body's interior landscape. For a short while, our mothers' bodies are the boundaries and personal geography which are all that we know of the world...Once we no longer live beneath our mother's heart, it is the earth with which we form the same dependent relationship, relying...on its cycles and elements, helpless without its protective embrace.
Albert Schweitzer
Hear our prayer O Lord...for animals that are overworked, underfed and cruelly treated; for all wistful creatures in capitivity
that beat their wings against bars; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be
put to death...and for those who deal with them, we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.
Harper Lee
Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.
Victor Kiam
What's really important in life? Sitting on a beach? Looking at television eight hours a day? I think we have to appreciate
that we're alive for only a limited period of time, and we'll spend most of our lives working. That being the case, I believe
one of the most important priorities is to do whatever we do as well as we can. We should take pride in that.
Any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected encouragement if he makes up his mind to do his level best each day.
