Welcome to Inspiration Corner!
This area will be updated whenever possible with inspiring quotes, poems, and stories as I find and add them. They may not be specifically religious, but should prove uplifting and thought provoking to all, I hope.
I welcome any inspirational submissions you may have. Feel free to e-mail me and send me your quotes.

Wreckers
I watched them tearing a building down,
A gang of men in a busy town.
With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell,
They swung a beam and the side wall fell.
I asked the foreman, "Are these men skilled,
And the men you'd hire if you had to build?"
He gave a laugh and said, "No indeed!
Just common labor is all I need.
I can easily wreck in a day or two
What builders have taken a year to do."
I thought to myself as I went my way,
Which of these roles have I tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with care,
Measuring life by the rule and square?
Am I shaping my deeds to a well-made plan,
Patiently doing the best I can?
Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town,
Content with the business of tearing down?
--Author Unknown
"The smallest deed is far greater than the grandest
intention." --Unknown
"The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering."

"See how the masses of men worry themselves into nameless graves, while here and there a great unselfish soul forgets himself into immortality." --Emerson
"When you come to the edge of all the light you know
and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will
be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly."-- Unknown
"Treat every person with kindness and respect, even those
who are rude to you. Remember that you show compassion
to others not because of who they are but because of who
you are."
--Andrew T. Somers
