This thread is for inspirational quotations, poems and short stories.
If there is something that has touched your soul, led you to a higher path or given you strength in a time of adversity, then please add it here.
If it has helped you, the chances are it will help others too - and to help each other along is the calling of every soul.
Into the Light!
'All this talk of religion, but it's how you live your life that is the all-important thing.
If you set out each day to do all the goodness and kindness that you can, and to do no harm to man or beast, then you are walking the highest path.
And when your time is up, if you can leave the earth a better place than you found it, then yours will have been a life well lived.'
Invictus:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the captain of my Fate:
I am the master of my soul.
- William Ernest Henley
'Is there anyone upon the earth who is glad that you have lived?'
- Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
