Day 114



From: Be An Angel by Dana Reynolds & Karen Blessen
Part 2

Work banishes those three great evils,
boredom, vice and poverty.
Voltaire

Work is love made visible.
And if you cannot work with love
but only with distaste,
it is better that you should leave your work
and sit at the gate of the temple
and take alms of those who work with joy.
Kahlil Gibran

It is said that the indentation between the nose and upper lip
is the space where at the moment of birth,
a child's guardian angel presses her finger,
so the little one won't tell the secrets of heaven.

Love, you know, seeks to make happy rather than to be happy.
Ralph Connor

The evening star, Love's harbinger.
John Milton

Love consists in this,
that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Let brotherly love continue.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:
For thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews 13:1-2

Loving kindness will heal our planet and spread peace.

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends.
That magnet is unselfishness,
thinking of others first...
when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.
Paramahansa Yogananda

A decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization.
Samuel Johnson

Freely we serve,
because we freely love,
as in our will to love or not;
in this we stand or fall.
John Milton

There are so many hungry people
that God cannot appear to them
 except in the form of bread.
Corita Kent

Illness is the night-side of life,
a more onerous citizenship.
Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship,
in the kingdom of the well and the kingdom of the sick.
Susan Sontag
