In good writing, words become one with things.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould us. ~Oswald Chambers

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

John Quincy Adams

Faith in humanity?

"It reaffirms your faith in people and humanity that so many people stepped in to help that didn't have to," he said. "We appreciate that we feel like we've been given a second chance, and we want to try to help other people when we see other people that need help."

Another story of a family surviving disaster, which always tugs my heartstrings. A family in a sightseeing plain crashed and were immediately rescued by various good samaritans. The father expresses his gratitude to the people who saved then, rightly so. My first thought when watching the video, however, is not a reaffirmation of humanity but of God's hand in our lives.

I do love hearing of the mother who with her last bit of consciousness hands their 4-yr old to the father. The powerful love of a parent is second only to the love God has for His children.

I found this story on MSN.com
