Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, light; where there is sadness, joy. Lord, may I not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. Because it is in giving that we receive, in pardoning that we are pardoned. Amen."
The Simple Path
The fruit of silence is PRAYER

Love them anyway.

Do good anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Be honest and transparent anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

Give the world your best anyway.
