"When we fully understand the brevity of life, its fleeting joys and unavoidable pains; when we accept the facts that all men and women are approaching an inevitable doom: the consciousness of it should make us more kindly and considerate of each other. This feeling should make men and women use their best efforts to help their fellow travelers on the road, to make the path brighter and easier as we journey on. It should bring a closer kinship, a better understanding, and a deeper sympathy for the wayfarers who must live a common life and die a common death.” 

~Clarence Darrow,

“Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us, and that our connection to that power and to one another is grounded in love and compassion. Practicing spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning and purpose to our lives.”

~Brené Brown

"Every morning, when we wake up, 

we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. 

What a precious gift! 

We have the capacity to live in a way 

that these twenty-four hours 

will bring peace, joy, and happiness 

to ourselves and others."

~Thich Nhat Hanh
