The world really doesn’t need
    more busy people,
       maybe not even more intelligent people.
It needs deep people,
    people who know that they need…

     + solitude,
         if they are going
         to find out who they are;

     + silence,
         if their words are to
         mean anything;

     + reflection
          if their actions are
          to have any significance;

     + contemplation,
          if they are to see
          the world as it really is;

     + prayer,
           if they are going
           to be conscious of God–
           if they are to “know God
           and enjoy God forever.
