That many-faceted thing called love succeeds in building bridges from the loneliness on this shore to the loneliness on the other one. these bridges can be of great beauty, but they are rarely built for eternity, and frequently they cannot tolerate too heavy a burden without collapsing.

Why are people so supportive of him [osama bin laden] in many countries? hes been out in these countries for decades building roads, building schools, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful.
Country Grateful School
We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it. but the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it.

Who can depart from his pain and aloneness without regret? too many fragments of the spirit have i scattered in these streets, and too many are the children of my longing that walk naked among these hills, and i cannot withdraw from them without a burden and an ache. it is not a garment i cast off this day, bit a skin that i tear with my own hands... yet i cannot tarry longer.

And do you know, do you know that mankind can live without the englishman, it can live without germany, it can live only too well without the russian man, it can live without science, without bread, and it only cannot live without beauty, for then there would be nothing at all to do in the world! the whole secret is here, the whole of history is here. science itself would not stand for a minute without beauty

You can forgive someone almost anything. but you cannot tolerate everything...we don't have to tolerate what people do just because we forgive them for doing it. forgiving heals us personally. to tolerate everything only hurts us all in the long run.
Forgiveness Running Hurt
We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.
Attitude Optimistic Expression

Choosing an attitude of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul.
Motivational Attitude Soul
A wrong attitude towards nature implies, somewhere, a wrong attitude towards god, and that the consequence is an inevitable doom. for a long enough time we have believed in nothing but the values arising in a mechanized, commercialized, urbanized way of life: it would be as well for us to face the permanent conditions upon which god allows us to live upon this planet.
Attitude Long Environmental
I prefer girls to wear dresses because i like how they influence a woman's body language. i also love skirts. one of my favorite pieces of clothing is the pencil skirt because it obliges the wearer to have a pretty attitude. i like anything that shows a woman's legs because i love to see her skin and how she walks.
Girl Attitude Skins
Prayer opens our lives for god so his will can be done in and through us, because in true prayer we habitually put ourselves into the attitude of willingness to do whatever god wills.
