I know this isn't a quote, but there was a poem I once heard that I'd like to share because it had soothed my soul any number of times:

Carry a little quiet inside you
while the world continues
in rush and rage
fighting and frenzy

Carry a little quiet inside you
so that worry and war
trouble and tumult
do not capture you in their grip

Tarry in the Son-filled meadow of the heart
beside the still waters
where God's Spirit refreshes and renews

Carry so much quiet inside you
that you have some extra calm
to share with me.

The poem is called "Generous Quietude" and is written by someone named Safiyah Fosua.

Thank you, Amiko and EstrellaSMC! :-)
