Love, Frederick Buechner

Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love. - Frederick Buechner, The Magnificent Defeat

Life, Philip James Bailey

It matters not how long we live, but how. - Philip James Bailey, Festus (1839), scene Wood and Water http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Life

Opportunity, Ralph Waldo Emerson

No great man ever complains of want of opportunity. - Ralph Waldo Emerson 훌륭한 인물은 기회가 적다고 불평하지 않는다. - 랄프 왈도 에머슨
