Look at their tremendous pride when under that mask there is only an skull empty of brain.

When you work hard you don't recognize how lonely you are.

Maybe I should dive into my work and don't let myself breathe even for a moment.

There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy.

Lift up your eyes. Don’t get lost in your troubles. Dare to believe that good things will happen.

I have a childhood memory that I cherish. My father loved corn bread and buttermilk. (Can you guess that I was raised in a small West Texas town?) About ten o’clock each night he would meander into the kitchen and crumble a piece of corn bread into a glass…

I have a childhood memory that I cherish. My father loved corn bread and buttermilk. (Can you guess that I was raised in a small West Texas town?) About ten o’clock each night he would meander into the kitchen and crumble a piece of corn bread into a glass of buttermilk. He would stand at the counter in his T- shirt and boxer shorts and drink it.
He then made the rounds to the front and back doors, checking the locks. Once everything was secure, he would step into the bedroom I shared with my brother and say something like, “Everything is secure, boys. You can go to sleep now.”
I have no inclination to believe that God loves corn bread and butter-milk, but I do believe he loves his children. He oversees your world. He monitors your life. He doesn’t need to check the doors; indeed, he is the door. Nothing will come your way apart from his permission.

Anxiety is not a sin; it is an emotion. So don’t be anxious about feeling anxious. (That's exactly what I always do!)

Anxiety and fear are cousins but not twins. Fear sees a threat.
Anxiety imagines one.

And if you do, you shouldn't eat it, alright? it's just too cute.
