41 " Don't give in to the darkness, for there is so much life ahead of you. "
― Seth Adam Smith , Rip Van Winkle and the Pumpkin Lantern
42 " Darkness always tries to hide the truth! "
43 " Truth is the greatest strength we have against the darkness. "
44 " Honesty is the only way to fight the inner demons. "
45 " There are no shortcuts through the wilderness of life. "
46 " It is only through seeking that we find what we are looking for. "
47 " I believe each of us is a pilgrim in our own way; we are all lost souls, trying to find our way home. "
48 " Every man, woman, and child on this earth is a wandering pilgrim in his or her own way—each searching for a belonging place. That sense of belonging is found only as we care for one another. "
49 " We always have a choice. Only you can decide what you become. "
50 " You are taking things far too literally. Everything you see is merely a symbol for things you do not see. Most of the people of this world are asleep in their minds. "
51 " Most of the people of this world are asleep in their minds. "
52 " If we have the power and the means, then we must help. "
53 " Only you can decide what you become. "
54 " Perhaps we are not really sinners in the hands of an angry God, after all. Perhaps we are all more like seedlings in the hands of a wise gardener. "
55 " Life is less about finding and more about seeking. "
56 " A bruised apple is not all bad. It still has tremendous potential. "
57 " Myths are different than fairy tales or legends. Legends are stories based in history and are more or less true. Myths, on the other hand, are stories containing a deeper truth—stories that transcend time. If you were to travel the world, you would find myths that are remarkably similar to one another—stories of heroes fighting the darkness with the light. "
58 " Charity is the entrance to the garden. "
59 " You are worth infinitely more than you could possibly imagine. "
60 " There's nothing more important in this world than caring for a child. "
