I've learned of life proverb

 I've learned of life this bitter truth/ Hope not between the crumbling walls Of mankind's gratitude to find repose,/ But rather,/ Build within thy own soul/ Fortresses!

 The art of measurement, by showing us the truth would have brought our soul into the repose of abiding by the truth, and so would have saved our life.
  Protagoras

 Self-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously. Don't numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.

 Grow your tree of falsehood from a small grain of truth. Do not follow those who lie in contempt of reality. Let your lie be even more logical than the truth itself, so the weary travelers may find repose.

 In most of mankind gratitude is merely a secret hope of further favors.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 The smallest atom of truth represents some man's bitter toil and agony; for every ponderable chunk of it there is a brave truth-seeker's grave upon some lonely ash-heap and a soul roasting in hell
  Henry Louis Mencken

 Normally when we build, we build all the walls in our warehouse in North Fort Myers, drop the walls on-site to where the slab has been poured and volunteers raise walls on the slab. This is definitely something we've never done before but it's been a great experience.

 This is the ultimate end of man, to find the One which is in him; which is his truth, which is his soul; the key with which he opens the gate of the spiritual life, the heavenly kingdom.
  Rabindranath Tagore

  Rabindranath Tagore

 At a point in every person's life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one's soul and decide one's unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is,

 The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.
  Gaston Bachelard

 We are praying now for the repose of his soul. Hoping you're well and not in hell. Nice change of air. Out of the frying pan of life into the fire of purgatory.
  James Joyce

 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; / Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; / Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? / Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? / For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

 We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter.
  Denis Diderot
