"Come unto me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

~ Matthew 11:28-29 ~

"Oh, look not at thy pain or sorrow, how great soever, but look from them, look off them, look beyond them, to the Deliverer! whose power is over them, and whose loving, wise, and tender spirit is able to do thee good by them. The Lord lead thee, day by day, in the right way, and keep thy mind stayed upon Him, in whatever befalls thee, that the belief of His love and hope in His mercy, when thou art at the lowest ebb, may keep up thy head above the billows." ~ Isaac Pennington ~

"I have learned

To look on nature, not as in the hour

Of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes

The still, sad music of humanity,

Not harsh nor grating, though of ample power

To chasten and subdue. And I have felt

A presence that disturbs me with the joy

Of elevated thoughts, a sense sublime

Of something far more deeply interfused,

Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,

And the round ocean and the living air,

And the blue sky, and in the mind of man:

A motion and a spirit, that impels

All thinking things, all objects of all thought,

And rolls through all things."

~ William Wordsworth ~

 "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it." ~ Abraham Lincoln ~

 "Thou has made us for Thyself, and the heart never resteth till it findeth rest in Thee."

~ Augustine of Hippo ~

"Sometimes the most urgent thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest." ~ Ashleigh Brillant ~

"So shines a good deed in a weary world." ~ Shakespeare ~ 

"The Princess Elizabeth, of England, was found dead with her head resting on her bible, open at these words, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." So many we all fall asleep at last when the day's work for Jesus is over, and wake up in heaven to find ourselves in the delicious rest that remaineth for the people of God." ~ Theodore Ledyard Cuyler ~

"The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians." 

~ Benjamin Disraeli ~

Oh, give Thine own sweet rest to me,
  That I may speak with soothing power
    A word in season, as from Thee,
      To weary ones in needful hour. 
              ~ Frances R. Havergal ~

 "Those who rest among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life."

~ Rachel Carson ~

 "Spiritual rest makes no man idle, spiritual walking makes no man weary." ~ Nathaniel Hardy ~

"Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." ~ Isaiah 40:31 ~
