Billy Graham: “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.”

Scott Barron discusses the vital importance of seeking solitude even through the busy school calendar. To remain connected with those around us and our true selves.

Quote:

Octavio Paz: “Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.

Henri Nouwen: “Whenever we pray alone, study, read, write, or simply spend quiet time away from the places where we interact with each other directly, we are potentially opened for a deeper intimacy with each other.

Bible Verse:

Mark 6:31: “He told them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest for a while," because so many people were coming and going that they didn't even have time to eat.
