If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. mistakes are life's way of teaching you. your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. no one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. shake off your blunders. how will you know your limits without an occasional failure? never quit. your turn will come.
