Thomas's+Tersive

Philosophy Statement: I will grow in all areas of life and live the I'm Third lifestyle; God first, others second and myself third. I will learn from my mistakes and not flee from my fears and mishaps.

Guiding Question: What defines us? I believe that we define ourselves through our lifestyle. Through the choices we make we create our own self and by our acts we develop our character. We define ourselves by what we value and hold in high regards.

We are now so far from the road to truth. Truth can stand by itself. We must TRUST the perfection of the creation so far So we understand that the most abstract truth is the most practical

Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. All questions have an answer but not all should be answered So Respect only what is INEVITABLE and has a right to be. Only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence Petty pleasures are but the shadow of reality For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you media type="custom" key="4958171" We, Children, who play life, discern its true law and relations more clearly than men, who fail to live it worthily... Who think that they are wiser by experience, that is, by failure. Whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral. Without emotions we cannot remain human

It's so hard to get old without a cause We must find a purpose I don't want to perish like a fading horse

The universe is composed of Nature and the Soul. A Grey and heavy blanket, folding and covering all The past and present WILT- I have fill'd them, emptied them. And proceed to fill my next FOLD of the future. Both place and time were changed... I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe... which had most attracted me. The things that make me feel I was IMMUNE from death.

I hear and behold God in EVERY object, yet understand God in the least. Yet in the faces of all men and women I see God. Thus the universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. I stop somewhere upon this track waiting for you But never forgotten I hope to cease not till death So we must worship our Lord TODAY, because we might not have another chance.
