Excellence
|
|
|
Excellence can be attained if you care more than others think is wise,
Risk more than others think is safe,
Dream more than others think is practical, and
Expect more than others think is possible.

I would not anticipate the relish of any happiness, nor feel the weight of any misery, before it actually arrives.

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.

Fear
|
|
|
According to legend, one day a man was wandering in the desert when he met Fear and Plague. They said they were on their way to a large city where they were going to kill 10,000 people. The man asked Plague if he was going to do all the work. Plague smiled and said, No, I'll only take care of a few hundred. I'll let my friend Fear do the rest.

YER OF THE VIGILE DEL FUOCO
Lord who light the skyes and fill up the abysses,
burn in our breast the flame of sacrifice.
Strenghten the spirit of service that burn in us,
make safe our eye, steady our foot,
to make effective the rescue that in your name we bringto brothers in danger.
When the siren shrieks in the streets of the town,
listen the throb of our earths devoted to renounce.
When in competition with eagles we climb to You,
support us Your sored hand.
When the fire irresistible flares up,
burns the evil nestled in the houses of men,
not the life and affections of Your sons.
Lord, we are the bearer of Your Cross,
and risk is our daily bread.
A day without risk is not lived,
because for we believers death is life,
is light: in the dread of collapses, in the fury of waters,
in the hell of fires.
Our life is the fire, our faith is God.For Saint Barbara martyr.AMEN
