[Quote No.18138] Need Area: Friends > General
"Oh, it's just the little homely things,
The unobtrusive, friendly things,
The 'won't - you - let - me - help - you' things,
That makes our pathway light.
And it's just the jolly joking things,
The 'never - mind - the - trouble' things,
The 'laugh - with - me - it's funny' things,
That makes the world seem bright.
For all the countless famous things,
The wondrous record - breaking things,
Those 'never - can - be - equaled' things,
That all the papers cite,
Are not like little human things,
The 'every - day - encountered' things,
The 'just - because - I - like - you' things,
That makes us happy quite.
So here's to all the little things,
The 'done - and - then - forgotten' things,
Those 'oh - it's - simply - nothing' things,
That makes life worth the fight." - Grace Haines

[Quote No.18220] Need Area: Friends > General
"He who desires to aid his fellows either in word or in deed, so that they may together enjoy the highest good, he, I say will before all things strive to win them over with love. Not to draw them into admiration, so that a system may be called after his name, nor to give any cause for envy. Further, in his conversation he will shrink from talking of men's faults, and will be careful to speak but sparingly of human infirmity: but he will dwell at length on human virtue or power and the way whereby it may be perfected. Thus will men be stirred not by fear, nor by aversion, but only by the emotion of joy, to endeavor, so far as in them lies, to live in obedience to reason." - Benedict Spinoza

"He, who strives to conquer hatred with love, fights his battle in joy and confidence; he withstands many as easily as one and has very little need of fortune's aid. Those whom he vanquishes yield joyfully, not through failure, but through increase in their powers; all these consequences follow so plainly from the mere definitions of love and understanding.
