Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.
Mahatma Gandhi
Love is the way messengers
from the mystery tell us things
Rumi
I'm a messenger. I'm one piece of a giant jigsaw puzzle.
Simon Sinek
People want to listen to a message, word from Jah. This could be passed through me or anybody. I am not a leader. Messenger. The words of the songs, not the person, is what attracts people.
Bob Marley
As a writer you have a duty to be a messenger.
Jay Griffiths
Coincidence is a messenger sent by truth.
Jacqueline Winspear
Every word is a messenger. Some have wings; some are filled with fire; some are filled with death.
Mary Oliver
Still let my tyrants know, I am not doomed to wear
Year after year in gloom, and desolate despair;
A messenger of Hope comes every night to me,
And offers for short life, eternal liberty.
Emily Bronte
Old and New
by Dejan Stojanovic
If an ancient man saw planes two thousand years ago
He would've thought they were birds
Or angels from another world
Or messengers from other planets.
Every new machine would have surprised himÑ
The car, TV, radio, phone, camera.
He would've thought he was a savage
Who didn't understand.
If he saw a computer,
Watching people talking on the internet,
He would have thought it was a civilization
Much more advanced and ahead of his.
And if he stayed longer among the messengers
He would have learned that every child had the knowledge
And understanding of these things
Or how to use all of them.
Yet, after a while, he would have noticed
That none of them were advanced enough
To be labelled as those who know more
Than the one who said: I know nothing.
