The quest we're on,
Today, tomorrow,
One day it'll be gone.

The souls we touch,
Show that knowledge itself
Is not enough.
Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're going sometimes it's harder to leave just when you think you know where you're going that's when troubles exceed.
I may never see tomorrow, there's no written guarantee. nd things that happened yesterday belong to history. I cannot predict the future, and I cannot change the past. I have just the present moment; I must treat it as my last. I must use this moment wisely, for it soon will pass away, and be lost forever as part of yesterday. I must exercise compassion. Help the fallen to their feet. Be a friend unto the friendless. Make an empty life complete. The unkind things I do today, may never be undone. And the friendships that I fail to win, may nevermore be won. I may not have another chance, on bended knee to pray, to thank my God with a humble heart, for giving me this day.
You can't see the wind can you? You see the effects of the wind, but you've never seen the wind. That's how God is. You can't see him, but you can see the effects of him. If you don't believe me look all around you.

If you planted hope today
In any hopeless heart
If someone's burden was
lighter
Because you did your part,
If you caused a laugh
That chased some tears away
If tonight your name is
named
When someone kneels to pray
Then your day has been
well spent.

When the tides of life turn against you, and the current upsets your boat, don't waste your tears on what might have been, just get on your back and float.
If you're going to lie, lie for a friend. If you're going to cheat, cheat death. If you're going to steal, steal a heart.
Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe.

when we already know the
