We kwamen bij de rivier en gingen aan de oever zitten, met het water aan onze voeten kabbelend, waardoor het des te stiller was dan het zou zijn geweest zonder dat geluid.

"Take nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence. There's no better rule."

I met a guy named George recently and he wants to understand his own "tiger parents", and I want to bring that up because there's something to avoid, I think, if you want to be gritty and great. Don't think that that comes though extrinsic motivation. And don't, parents, think that you can force your kids to be gritty and passionate about something that you chose for them. You know, it doesn't work that way. You can't be like: "You're gonna be Pre-Med and play the violin, and you're gonna be great at it."

Angela Duckworth

"Lord, make me a hollow reed from with the pith of self has been blown." ["so that I may become a clear channel through which Thy love may flow to others."]
TE: In other words, get rid of "me", and make me an open channel so all the power that's greater than me can flow through me.
And really, you wanna be a channel.

Tommy Emmanuel
