Words to Meditate On

I found these quotes while reading The Heart of the Matter magazine/blog:

He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan carries a thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life...But where no plan is laid...chaos will soon reign.
---Victor Hugo

My children! My darling, precious children! What I want them to become I must become myself.
---Elizabeth Prentiss, Stepping Heavenward
