{"quotes":[{"text":"It was evenings like that when beneath dim light and relaxing in a sultry bath that she missed him the most. A flicker of candlelight, wind breathing snow against the window and the soothing scent of creme caramel – all were a comfort to her as she closed her eyes, summoned memories and many a tender thought. She didn't feel deserving of the devotion bestowed upon her, but she had finally learned to accept its wondrous gift, knowing that love was the source of existence and its only end.","author":"Donna Lynn Hope","tags":["devoted","devotion","love","missing","reflection","remembering","snow","winter"],"id":479,"author_id":"Donna+Lynn+Hope"},{"text":"The actual secret to success: Be a better friend today than you were yesterday.","author":"Richelle E.

We develop our inner being, the meditative quality within, the inner source of love and truth, the divine source inside ourselves, through which we can let love flow through us, not only to benefit ourselves, but for the good of all.","author":"Swami Dhyan Giten","tags":["awareness","consciousness","devotion","life","love","meditation","psychology","spirituality","the-divine","the-good-of-all","truth"],"id":7157,"author_id":"Swami+Dhyan+Giten"},{"text":"मय्यावेश्य मनो ये मां नित्ययुक्ता उपासते।श्रद्धया परयोपेतास्ते मे युक्ततमा मताः॥॥१२- २॥Best but all are those that be,Absorved in My full faith truly,Devote themselves but absolutely,To My worship - ever diligently.12. 2.","author":"Munindra Misra","tags":["bhagwat","devotion","faith","geeta","gita","krishna","worship"],"id":7216,"author_id":"Munindra+Misra"},{"text":"For who can be ashamed to lose to such beauty?","author":"Madeline Miller","tags":["beauty","devotion","grief","love","patrochilles","support"],"id":7721,"author_id":"Madeline+Miller"},{"text":"Face me and learn that I’m not alone, attack and you’ll find that my Leader stands beside me.
