JOY AND SORROW

nations. You, who are life arid energy and blessing, teach us to revere and respect your tender world. Prayer of Thomas”                

JOHN CELES –“Today’s the ‘Festival of Lights’all o’er; A joyful day for minds and hearts and souls; And people throng the Temples to offer, Prayers, resolving to take better roles. And most of them are richly clad and clean, And eat such dainty foods and sweets with mirth; Whilst noisy crackers burst, their lights are seen, It seems to be a happy day on Earth! But are there not hearts woe-filled, very sad? Denied of laughter, smiles for days; Today’s the triumph of Good over bad; But what about the wastage in much ways? True joy is when you see someone else smile! True charity gives joy in Heav’nly style.”

JOHN CLEESE –“I used to desire many many things, but now I have just one desire, and that’s to get rid of all my other desires.”

JOHN CLEESE –“If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you more open to my ideas. And if I can persuade you to laugh at the particular point I make, by laughing at it you acknowledge its truth.”   

JOHN CNURTON COLLINS –“In prosperity our friends know us in adversity we know our friends.”    

JOHN D BARROW –“There was no “before” the beginning of our universe, because once upon a time there was no time.”

JOHN D ROCKEFELLER –“Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.”
