Inspiration

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with their friendship.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, american philosopher, essayist, and poet

Nature herself makes the wise man rich.

Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.
