"The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it...to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or another of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal." -C.S. Lewis
"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling." -1 Peter 4:8-9
"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
-J.R.R. Tolkien
