St. Andrews on my walk into town.

approaching town

Part of St. Mary's, the School of Divinity.

Along the scores, a street that runs parallel to the sea.

glorious!

At the Creative Writing Society meeting outdoors today.

 

Another full day! Below are a few of my favorite quotes/writings:

 

 

Taken from a book, Tibet: An Inner Journey, I read a little over a year ago:

 

Like two wings of a bird, compassion and wisdom are indivisible: knowldge without compassion is sterile, and compassion without knowledge is blind.

 

 

An excerpt from a letter Nelson Mandela wrote to his wife, Winnie, while in prison:

 

In judging out progress as individuals, we tend to concentrate on external factors such as one's social position, influence, and popularity, wealth, and standard of edication...but internal factors may be even more crucial in assessing on'e development as a human being: honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, purity, generosity, absence of vanity, readiness to serve your fellowmen - qualities within the reach of every soul.

 -Nelson Mandela

 

A quote from John Newton:

 

If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, his arm over us. His ear open to our prayer - His grace sufficient. His promise unchangeable.

-John Newton
