"Once we recognize the fact that every individual is a treasury of hidden & unsuspected qualities, our lives become richer, our judgment better, & our world is more right. It is not love that is blind, it is only the unnoticed eye that cannot see the real qualities of people." ― Charles H. Percy

"The grace of GOD means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful & terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you." ― Frederick Buchner

TWO WOLVES WITHIN

A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles to his grandson in this manner. 

“Inside of me there are two wolves. One wolf is angry, antagonistic, apathetic, erratic, evil, harsh, hateful, intolerant, mean, sad, treacherous, violent, vociferous, & vulgar.”

 

“The other wolf is affectionate, caring, compassionate, devoted, gentle, good, joyous, kind, loving, merciful, patient, peaceful, pure, sweet, & tolerant.”

“The angry wolf fights the affectionate wolf all the time.”

When asked by his grandson which wolf wins, he reflected for a moment & replied, “The one I feed the most.”
