This week's Quote: Ancient wisdom about surrending to life challenges from an old Beatles song...

"And when the night is cloudy,
there is still a light that shines on me,
shine on until tomorrow,
let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music Mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be."

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Alfred Lord Tennyson
