BRIEF MOMENTS OF WISDOM
l.Things begin and end, and new things begin again. Permanence in natureis not the rule. A brief moment is her precious jewel.
2.A glimpse of Heaven; that mystery from above. The mystery is now over;oh God! I feel Your love!
3.My place of worship is the universe. The stars are my being. My soulis where God is, and my heart dances in a dream!
4.We are here to learn love - that's the lesson in the school of theuniverse!
5.Oh infinity! Oh infinity! You stagger me no more. For God has givenme hands that can open any door!
6.To look at the world with a child's imagination; is to look at theWorld through the eyes of Heaven!
7.The stress of life can make time an enemy. But, to love all, and allthings; can make it a friend!
8.The driving power of the universe is far from clear, but when I smella rose, this power is near!
9.If we were all salesmen of the Divine Word - I would receive an intensethrill. For we all would have arrived, and time would stand still.
10. My reservoir of hope lies on a distant star. Someday, I will reachit. Someday, I will travel far!
11. Infinity and the universe - Oh! so difficult to understand. Oh!so hard. But I don’t mind because I am here with my God!
12. I am not forced to love God but I do. For through Him I can explorethe universe. Through Him, every dream that I have could come true!
13. The evidence of my eyes teaches me much. But with a full heart,I release the evidence of my soul!
14. Locking my door to life is not for me. The stream of life buildscharacter, we must swim in that sea!
15. The pain of dying bothers me not. No contribution to life bothersme a lot!
16. Oh! the uncertainty of it all. Oh! the uncertainty of it all. But,the miracle of life could not happen without purpose.
17. To be rich in wisdom is the road that makes life and death's fulfillment!
18. He who has done the impossible, has done nothing, if he cannot love.
19. The end of time, the end of space, the end of night and day. Butoh! keep love; oh! let it stay!
20. The pulsating energy of the universe is my reality. Harmonizingwith this energy is my dream, and unable to do so is my downfall!
21. A good saying is easy to understand, yet profound!
22. I have never discovered the secret of life, but I have lived. Neverlearned the secrets of the universe, but I have lived. Will soon die, oh!but I have lived.
23. Only the craftsmanship of love can accomplish the chiseled essenceof the finished character!
24. The logic of things at its highest level is love!
25. Religion without love is emptiness!
26.A lot of people believe in God, but very few love Him!
27. Another view of reality opens the door to the world I am lookingfor. But, how do I make it real for all. Oh! how do I make it real forall.
28. "Constantly learning, growing old" I think the reason is to purifythe soul!
29. Oh paradise! Oh paradise! you seem impossible, but not for me. Aworld of widespread love is what I see!
30. A dominating image, I do not want to be. An image that is lovedah! that's for me.
31. We have the world a short time, but we have God forever!
32. The fires of life are many. If you cannot put a certain fire outyou are a fool to jump back into it again!
33. A sky so dark - no star in sight. Still I feel God's glory. I feelHis might!
34. He who has failed at trying to fill the world with love, has intruth, not failed. No person is a failure who has tried to do somethingwonderful.
35. Good morning sunshine, hello stars - you have no reason to cry.Youwere here before I was born, and you will be here after I die!
36. Genius is being able to make the complex and the difficult understandable!
37. "The kingdom of God is within". It's hard to find, but it's there!
38. Interest in money is not my way... Only the good I can do, makesmy day.
39. Constantly absorbing knowledge, searching for something with substance;trying to have wit as sharp as a knife. On my death bed, I discovered,that which I sought, was life!
40. Experiencing the breath of eternity. Branching off as s free spirittoward the night sky. Unaware of the second or moment. Piercing that veilwe see through darkly. Becoming one with the reality called God.
41. When one finds an endeavor that gives him peace within, and he alsoestablishes peace without (at peace with his environment). Then maintainspeace with the idea of the unknown - he will feel the presence of God!
42. To feel inner peace is to feel God.
43. Reality is our perception; fantasy is our dream; the true experienceis God's hidden scheme!
44. Heaven can be counted in moments!
45. It's not what you get in life, it's what you become!
46. A world of love is beyond the world I see. But not beyond what Ican be!
47. Some people use curse words to express a subject; with others, curseWords are the subject.
48. In many cases, we, and we alone, are the architects of our misery!
49. An age old question concerning the universe: "Why is there somethinginstead of nothing?" I feel the answer is, we are here to experience thefeeling of love, and be loved!
50. Never having our way or say, but that's O.K. - we are free in mindany time.
51. If I could spend my life helping the poor, and only one of themappreciated my love - it would be a life well spent!
52. In Heaven, dreams and reality are probably the same. No end thisjoy, this city of gold, that's better revealed than told!
53. It is better not to exist than harm one soul!
54. As life knocks you down, keep getting up. Staying down is to lose!

58. Normality for God, is awesome for us!
59. I enter a wonderful day and life without end. Heaven! Oh Heaven!I feel you again!
60. Where expectation is greater than realization, continue to dream.For the moment may come where your desire and reality are one!
61. The eternity of stars and the brevity of life may meet in the humansoul!
62. The top rung of the ladder of life is having an unselfish regardfor others - selflessness!
63. In this world, most love is not aimed at God and people - it isaimed at money!
64. Perfection is the beginning of love. Intense love is beyond perfect.With love, you can do the impossible!
63. Classic beauty, as a snow covered mountain, is love changed intosubstance. The human mind is love changed into substance. The human mindlooking at a snow covered mountain - love looking at itself!

71. That special world we dream of, is still far away. But, one dayit will be here, when we grow up some day!
72. We can be told and guided, but everyone must walk with the shoesof life, alone. The scratches and scuffs these shoes will bear, are perhapsour training for another life somewhere!
73. To fail, yet learn, is no loss, but something dearly earned!
74. I have loved and lost, but continue to live. Creation has much moreto offer, much more to give.
75. None of us is average. We are as deep as the sea. As special anddifferent as each snow flake are we!
76. Just one good idea before I die, can extend higher than a mountain,and reach beyond the sky.
77. Just one new truth before I die, can dwarf the highest mountain,and grace my last goodbye.
78. Billions of stars, and He gave each a name. Surely He will rememberus, in this eternal game!
79. My soul is overflowing, but words will weaken what I must say. SoI pray in a silent manner... in a silent way.
80. Collected much, but forgot the best. I did not build a noble characterand failed life's most important test.
81. Neither king nor beggar is for me. A world of peace and love iswhere I want to be.

83. Lying for a good, just and noble reason, could be another form oftruth.
84. I want the God in you to see the God in me; for we are one in thetrue reality.
85. Coin is payment for service given. In the world of my dreams, serviceis simply... given.
86. All that is needed for a perfect world is an unselfish regard forothers.
87. Oh God! I dislike this world, but I love you. So I Will stay andtry and change it, and hope for that better day.
88. The only way to feel God's love is to help someone.
89. Many would like to go to Heaven. But I would like to make this Heavenright here. This is where the pain is.
90. Life and the universe are symbolic of something deep in my unconscious.A hidden thing that is strong enough to drive me through eternity....Theforce of Love.
9l. True beauty is in one's character; which can only be made by one'sself.
92. From the center of my heart, my prayer goes out to You. From thecenter of my heart, Your world is my dream come true.
93. Fascinated by the eternal night and day of the universe. Longingto feel the divine mystery in all things. But, I remain within the confinementof myself.
94. THAT SPECIAL DESIRE... Breaking free from today, and looking invain at countless tomorrow’s. Searching the furnaces of the stars for thatmystery with no answer. Our hearts, souls, and minds will soon realize- the thing that will satisfy that special desire, will only came as agift from God.
95. Beyond anything said - faith is that invisible line, that goldenthread.
96. Oh door I cannot open; oh wall I cannot climb; I do not feel defeated;for to know all and do all, is not mine.
97. Finding the unimaginable all, is not the end of your quest. Youmust hold on to Him forever, to pass the final test.
98. Oh unpleasant sight; you don't bother me... for I have vision beyondwhat I can see.
99. I dream of a thousand violins playing in the halls of Heaven, whilelistening to the expression of the infallible wisdom of God.
100. The supreme moment is having nothing, yet experiencing everything.
101. A wait by Him that will not cease. A task by us that is not done.A lengthy battle that is never won.
102. To have a love that is so intense that it goes beyond Heaven, andto go backwards in love is powerful.
103. Beginnings and endings upset me, because I have no control. Temporarymay be my destiny, but forever is my soul.
104. I struggle to discover the ultimate of truth; but when I give up,I find it. . Peace.
105. Remaining here makes me weep; Other places I care not seek; Sohere I stay, in creative thought; Oh what a new world I have wrought.
106. Larger than the universe am I; Smaller than a speck I go. ActualityOh so mean - thus I continue to dream.
107. Hell is to feel the pain of love. Heaven is to know what pain isand feel the ecstasy of love.
108. The stars so many, the universe so vast. So few are the momentswe wish could last. We'll visit joy but must not stay. So fast can joybecome the norm; a terrible price to pay.
109. Where are you hiding oh God? May I come? Oh no! I could not endure!Only in death could I face You. When one loses all he can possibly lose;only then, he can stand the fullness of everything...You.
110. Power so great, weakness so small. Yet weakness unnoticed couldbe the greatest of all. The day so bright; the night so dark; though donot upset the apple cart. This I can do, though only a speck out of theblue.
ill. Watching a sky that is not there; clinging to life that is notclear; soon to die and go..... I know not where.
112. The fact that we exist is stupendously incredible, it doesn't giveme blind faith, but faith with eyes.
113. An ungranted wish, a painful chore; unlike joy, seem so real. Realitythe pain; joy the dream; I will never awaken to master nature’s scheme.
114. Love at a high level is beyond perfection, because perfection isonly the beginning of love; the impossible is beyond perfect. With love,you can do the impossible.
115. A worn out hat, a withered leaf; one man’s, one God's, but timeis the thief.
116. To stay for a while, and go beyond is intelligence. But to staywhere you are and go beyond where you stay is genius.
117. Joy comes not by walking on air; only when it ends despair.
118. Genius is to know a truth that does not exist, and cause it toexist.
119. There was no end to my dreams. Though gone am I... Life was aneternity, it seems.
120. To achieve the impossible once is genius; to achieve it twice isfoolish. For to achieve the impossible once, makes it possible.
121. Nature and I; at each other we stare. For where is God, who placedus here?
122. Sometimes I say to myself: Oh God, I do not want Your Heaven, becauseI cannot stand Your Hell. But I go on; somehow it all has meaning! Perhapsto make gods or angels of us... Somehow, it all has meaning.
123. There is no night, there is no day; only our thoughts which havegone astray.
124. I glimpse at a star that is out far. The star cannot see me. Andlike the star, I am watched by God, Whom I cannot see.
125. From afar it was pretty; near, not so. So keep your distance andenjoy the show.
126. Lose the penny, save the heart. For pennies are many... Oh heart,Oh precious heart!
127. I enter a day that is without end. To start a life that will beginagain. Nothing failure can steal, this journey, this Journey to the unreal.
128. Oh universe, Oh universe, oh give me a day to be as great as youare, and no more shall I say.
129. The music of my dreams, upon my heart it will play. I taste thejoy of a new world, but still far away.
130. Oh Star, Oh falling star! you died in such splendor. Unlike me,who knows not glory, only surrender.
131. Oh filled with doubt of what it's all about; I play this crazygame. So vicious, so vicious, and impossible to tame. This called life,so they say; our only weapon is to pray.
132. To try and not achieve is in itself a deed. So go on worthy wanderer...to succeed, to succeed.
133. To me gold, to you trash, to him not worth a word. Oh what is value?What is value? Perhaps the song of a bird? Pleasure for all, not just afew, is the only answer that will do.
134. A cry not heard; an endless attempt - it all sounds like me. Buton I go; for there is something I think I see.
135. The steady stir of life, a brew that took some fixing. Oh who?Oh who is doing the mixing!
136. Torment me you do not oh pain; sorrow plays for endless days. Damnyou pain, agony at its peak! Still sorrow outdistances you - you're weak...you'reweak!
137. I must go where I have come. This death bound journey life is almostdone. A trip worth taking I have no doubt. Its reason is what existenceis about. Hell, a crack in God's perfect shell, ruins life's story alltoo well. Oh why Hell and agony, even for the good? Only that Power towhich I go, can make it understood.
138. Dreams for laughter, dreams for tears; weary of this good and bad.No matter what, no matter what, ecstasy I will let be. Now nature, youare beaten... so come and join me.
139. My God of the Universe, King of Heaven and Earth. Thank You somuch for giving me Birth.
140. When the potential benefits of a lie, outweigh the damaging effectsof a truth; this is called lying for good reason. Which at a deeper level,is another form of truth.
141. For what is there to show for things that come and go? I feel theanswer is that we grow, and grow, and grow.
142. To understand the Universe, to know The Great Plan, and open Nature'sdoor. You must be in Love; Need I say more?
143. I feel what men feel. I see what men see. But beyond is a worldtoo beautiful for me. But towards it I go...so slow...Oh! but so slow!
144. To do little things with big words is ignorance; To do big thingswith little words intelligence. To do the impossible without speaking,is Divine.
145. Universe, Oh Universe, so complex you are. But the answer liesnot in you, nor a star. It is in me, but so hard to see; Oh! so hard tosee!
146. The condition of God, is an entity that will be true to you, onlywhen you are true too!
147. In our world, money is not needed because we have love. This isthe world called Heaven Above.
148. I look at the Universe, and I look at me. They appear to be two,but there are three.
149. A stone is dead, a bird is not. A stone is almost forever, thebird will rot. But the bird tasted life, the stone did not.
150. I think about the Universe, I think about dreams. I think aboutreality and strife. Oh! thought, you are the miracle that started life.
151. The world in a dream, and the world we know, are both the samebecause thinking makes it so. But the reality in a dream escapes me; Onlybecause the reality we know can make me.
152. You can never find words for something that has no ceiling. ForGod is not a word, nor a name; He is a feeling.
153. Not a word he can spell, yet knows the great plan. This is truegenius, for it's the priorities we must understand.
154. There are no beginnings, nor ends, nor distances and such. OnlyGod's thought and His touch. Our free will is the only thing that can kill.Onward, onward Life and Love, we must choose this for Heaven above.
155. Not the rain, nor the sunshine, nor the snow. We are important;we are the show.
156. Possessing a heart filled with love, I enter a day and life sobeautiful with no end. My! Oh my! I am here again!
157. The purpose of religion seemed so hard. But now I know that purposeis to acquire The Holy Spirit of God!

159. This love of mine, a love that is Divine. A love with no end. Heaven,Oh! Heaven, I can feel You again!

161. Insanely in love am I. But my reasoning is so clear. Oh! insanityof love...come here!
162. The three areas of love: The physical, the mental, the spiritual.Giving and receiving all three together; Oh God! That’s forever.
163. The ultimate truth, the ultimate of love. Oh! that's the DivineKing of Heaven above!
164. This intense conflict of forces: This drama, oh! this drama betweenlove and hate. Love is not only right; it can also create!
165. Dear Creator; You have infinite power and knowledge; yet You aresilent. Silent as far as our understanding is concerned. Oh! God, My ModestLove!
166. When one has progressed far on The Road To The Truth, he will soonsee The Divine Mystery In All Things.
167. A religious truth that man can only know by revelation and cannot fully understand - GOD!
168. A gift rather than a penalty; this called life. Oh! this calledlife!
169. Oh! how I yearn to visit a dream and never return. But return Ido, for reality is true, oh! so true! Thus my scheme is to make realitya dream!
170. Take me away, oh! take me away, I dare not stay. But bring me backone day. Only make sure You will take me away. No condition of mind shallI stay; not even for one day. Progress is the answer; progress is good.Thank You God for making this understood.
171. Oh! God, I can feel You now! And I wish I could hold You somehow.Feelings change, not the truth! Judgments change; not the Truth! The worldwill change; not the Truth! Not the Truth!
172. This world functions for profits; not for human services!
173. The end will come. This day will be done. Bigger things will havebegun. Emotional primitivism will die. Racial childhood will say goodbye.We have won! We have won. Hello new world, we are one.
174. It is very hard to understand God's might. But whether we do ornot, it is right!
175. From a place far beyond the sun, a wise voice speaks; a voice withouta tongue. It states that there is nothing more emotionally fulfilling thanhelping someone!
176. In every person's life there are pinpoints of time that governhis destiny. Let these not rule you! But rule them with reason. And youwill have the kind of life that is true and pleasing! Guide all of youractions with reason! Insults are only effective where emotion is present.Stay away from offensive people! Stay away! and you will be on that roadtoward that Eternal Day!
177. Perception is reality, whether it is good or bad. But try to controlthis; and let be what you wish to let be. And see what you wish to see!As long as what you do is not bad. As long as what you do is not mad.
178. I am living my fantasy so it seems. Because the power of love isbeyond all dreams!

194. That secret thing in your heart that there are no words for. Whereis Heaven? Where is that door!
195. Much is learned from success, and also from failure. Knowing thereare things constantly out of reach, is the human condition. Perhaps toreach for all and grasp all are for the Gods. But, to extend and neverobtain all, yet learn, is ours. We feel joy by constantly reaching. Onlya God can have all there is to have, or have nothing at all, and stilltaste exultation.
196. In this world of randomness and fear, I wonder when the signatureof God will appear.
197. To reap what no one wants. To suffer incredibly hard, is to takea stance against God.

203. A cool breeze blowing; the sunlight is showing. I am enjoying thisday. But, behind all this, I know there is a greater bliss, a greater partat play.
204. If you seek after material things, you will be full of emptiness.The epitome of your dreams should be to nourish the spirit.

You must work on your environment.That is, you must avoid anyone or anything that offends you in the slightestway. In time this will give you outside or external peace - which in timewill automatically give you peace within. Now, there is only one more areato accomplish peace, and that is the ides of the unknown.
