Please enjoy these thoughts on this season of Lent:
There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness,but of power.
They speak more eloquently
than ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers of
overwhelming grief ...
and unspeakable love.
- Washington Irving
Tears are the summer showers to the soul.
- Alfred Austin
The dew of compassion is a tear.
- Lord Byron
Time engraves our faces with all the tears we have not shed.
- Natalie Clifford Barney
Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart,
don't know how to laugh either
- Golda Meir
The bitterest tears shed over graves
are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
- Harriet Beecher Stowe
God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail.
- Saint Augustine
This is the day which the Lord has made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
- Psalms 118:24
Patience, persistence, and perseverance.
A little more each day, a little better each day.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The winds of grace are always blowing;
all we need to do is raise our sails.
- Anonymous
