Once a woman has
forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast. However horrible the
incidents of war may be, the soldier who is called upon to offer and to
give his life for his country is the noblest development of mankind. Without an understanding of myth or religion, without an understanding of the relationship between destruction and creation, death and rebirth, the individual suffers the mysteries of life as meaningless mayhem alone. ~ Marion Woodman Where there is no hope in the future, there is no power in the present. ~ John Maxwell Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all. ~ Emily Dickinson Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists. ~ Eric Hoffer It is with narrow souled people as with narrow necked bottles: the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring it out. ~ Alexander Pope It is easier to accept the message of the stars than the message of the salt desert. The stars speak of man's insignificance in the long eternity of time; the deserts speak of his insignificance right now. - Edwin Way Teale Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. ~ Mark Twain Look at your hands and think of them as your finest tools to create something useful as well as beautiful. ~ Alexandra Stoddard If you work at it, you can smell the smell of autumn leaves burning or taste a chocolate malt. ~
Frederick Buechner Since most of us spend our lives doing ordinary tasks, the most important thing is to carry them out extraordinarily well. ~ Henry David Thoreau I will speak ill of no man and speak all the good I know of everybody. ~ Ben Franklin But what happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads? ~ Albert Camus Studies
serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. ~ Francis Bacon |
