Keaven's Quotes
I started collecting quotes when I was a pre-teen, filling journal after journal with them. Some were religious, some were funny, some were uplifting, some made me cry.
It's hard to remember all these awesome quotes now, since there's so many, so I thought this would be a great way to organize my quotes by categories, for easy reference, not only for myself, but others as well.
Enjoy!

What we call human nature is actually human habit.
I have studied many times the marble which was chiseled for me. A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor. In truth it pictures not my destination, but my life. For love was offered me and I shrank from it's disillusionment; sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid; ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life. And now I know that we must lift the sale and catch the winds of destiny where ever they drive the boat. To put meaning in one's life may end in madness, but life without meaning is the torture of restlessness and vague desire. it is a boat, longing for the sea, and yet afraid.

My 3 White Dresses
My mom bought me a white dress,
not red or pink or blue.
She said it was a special dress,
Like very other few
There has been just one before,
A dress now put away,
That I wore some time ago,
Upon my blessing day.
As a little baby clothed,
In my first white dress,
My dad held me in his arms,
There to name and bless.
So pure and clean I was just then
With time to grow and learn
About my Father's plan for me.
My glory I must earn.
Now I've reached the age to judge,
The wrong road from the right,
And I am here to be baptized;
In this dress of white.
So once again, I'm free from sin.
The path is clear to me.
I'll grasp the rod and hold on tight,
I vow with certainty.
Just as mud would stain my dress,
Sin would stain my soul.
The key is to repent or bleach,
For whiteness is my goal.
And if I try my very best,
Then richly blessed I'll be,
Wearing inside God's holy house,
White dress number three.
So today I make this pledge
I'll strive to choose the right,
Through this sacred baptism ordinance,
In my second dress of white.
-Linda Gay Perry Nelson
