"Be good, keep your feet dry, your eyes open, your heart at peace and your soul in the joy of Christ." ― Thomas Merton Topic(s): Good More From Thomas Merton "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." "Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony." "The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them." More In Good "It is foolish to tear one’s hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness."― Marcus Tullius Cicero "They’re only truly great who are truly good."― George Chapman "I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall."― Eleanor Roosevelt
