“My heart leaps up when I behold a
rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began; So is it
now I am a man; So be it when I shall
grow old, or let me die! The Child is
Father of the Man; I could wish my days to be bound each to
each by natural piety.”
William Wordsworth (1802)

Yiddish Proverb“If an enemy calls you a
donkey, ignore him.
But if a friend calls you a donkey, buy a saddle.”
“Are you tired?Worn Out?
Burned out on religion?Come to Me
Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.”
“Come, ye disconsolate (heartbroken), Where’er ye languish (exhausted),Come to the mercy seat
(altar),Fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts,
Here tell your anguish (pain);
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.”
