“Prayer:  The act of falling to your knees in pleading fashion, seeking help from a greater power than all else to have failed you previously.”

“Nothing else has the power to calm, comfort, and care for you better than home.”

“When you open your mouth, listeners are offended.  When you close your mouth, the expectant are offended.  If a person seeks misdoing from you they will find it regardless of whether or not you deliver. ”

“Moisture falls from the sky, cleansing the world and sustaining precious life. But it's the gloom—the cold, dark air—that receives notice. We fail to see the miracle of raindrops through our own tears.”

“You are the one star I wish upon nightly, praying your glory will fall from the heavens and land in my undeserving arms.”

“Don't underestimate the power of friendship. Those bonds are tight stitches that close up the holes you might otherwise fall through.”

“Life’s gonna kick you in the butt; that’s what it does. But if you gotta put up with this crap, the least you can expect is that your friends will stand by you. I mean, for crying in the night, what else are friends for but to help you make right what isn’t in life? (Kira, The Mishmorat)”
