The Lord is my pace-setter, I shall not rush, He makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals, He provides me with images of stillness, which restore my serenity. He leads me in the ways of effectiveness through calmness of mind, and His guidance is peace. Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day I will not fret for His presence is here, His timelessness, His all-importance will keep me in balance. He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity by anointing my mind with His oils of tranquillity, my cup of joyous energy overflows. Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruit of my hours for I shall walk at the pace of my Lord, and dwell in His house forever. – Toki Miyashina

Take time to think; it is the source of power. Take time to play; it is the source of perpetual youth. Take time to laugh; it is the music of the soul. Take time to work; it is the price of success. Take time to pray; it is the greatest power on earth. Take time to love and be loved; it is a God-given privilege. – Unknown

Money will buy …… a bed but not sleep, books but not wisdom, food but not an appetite, finery but not beauty, a house but not a home, medicine but not health, amusements but not happiness, a crucifix but not a saviour, a church but not heaven. – Unknown
