BEAUTIFUL PILLOWS AND PILLOW WISDOM

What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another should rest on the same pillow.     

Nathaniel Hawthorne

When tough times come, it is particularly important to offset them with much gentle softness. Be a pillow.     

Vera Nazarian

Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.     

Maya Angelou

For a sick man the world begins at his pillow and ends at the foot of his bed.     

Honoré de Balzac

Ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head.     

Michel de Montaigne

A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow.     

Charlotte Bronte


There is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience.     

John Wooden

An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind.     

John Mellencamp

The pillow smells like the sunlight, a precious smell.     

Haruki Murakami


  • The innocent seldom find an uncomfortable pillow.     

    William Cowper

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
