True! Pat

Yesterday was the summer solstice, the longest day of the year and the beginning of calendar summer. It was filled with glorious shining light from our day star, the Sun. In thinking about it today, I remember Sarah Williams, a poet and novelist who loved astronomy. She wrote a poem entitled "The Old Astronomer". The following words in that poem have been widely used and have been quoted ever since.

"Though my soul set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night,'

Wonderful quote! I believe the author is C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity.

My favorite quote may not seem all that positive but it actually is if you are aware of your own emotional boundaries:

« Boundary problems are a misdirected attempt to be loved »

This refers to those of us who have tendency toward « people pleasing » that can be to our own detriment.

It had been credited to him initially but since has been questioned. That of course doesn't change the sentiment.

Two quotes expressing the same sentiment:

“Example is not the main thing when it comes to influencing others; it is the only thing.” – Albert Schweitzer

“A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not.” – John Quincy Adams

The one quote that really sticks in my mind is about friendship.
"Loyalty begins where convenience ends." -Paramahansa Yogananda

Cogito, ergo Boleo
I think, therefore I am depressed.

Correction! Sorry!
The correct quote is:
"Before you go to bed, give your troubles to God. He'll be up all night anyway!"
