Thought for the Week      

May 15^th

April 24

• "Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it." Horace

April 17^th 

• "To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself." Albert Camus

April 10^th

• "The opposite of love is not hate but indifference." Elie Wiesel

April 3^rd

• "Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish." Michelangelo

March 27^th

• "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." Helen Keller

March 20^th

• "I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail. William Faulkner

March 13^th

• "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." Confucius
