than to win a thousand battles.
Then the victory is yours.

not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

There are choirs singing in your head.
If you listen, you will hear the music.
It is the song of angels.
Pay no attention to the sounds of the world.
They are just noises, and even when
added up all together
they have no value, make no sense.
Strain to hear the song of angels.
Listen to the melody within your soul.
- Neale Donald Walsch
Friends are angels who lift us to our feet
when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.
