“The way to real growth is not to become more powerful or more famous, but to become more human and more tolerant.”
― Helen Steiner Rice

“When you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful if he sends,
Not diamonds, pearls or riches,
but the love of real true friends.”
― Helen Steiner Rice

“You will hear thunder and remember me,
and think: she wanted storms...”
― Anna Akhmatova

“God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow,
Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know.

Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right
So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight.

Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart
So I might hear the answer You are trying to impart.

Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until
My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will.”
― Helen Steiner Rice
