'Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family; a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold." - Tryon Edwards |
"How I do love the earth. I feel it thrill under my feet. I feel somehow as if it were conscious of my love, as if something passed into my dancing blood from it." - James Russell Lowell |
"You will find something far greater in the woods than you will find in books. Stones and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters." -St. Bernard |
Never limit yourself, never be satisfied, and smile - it's free! - Jenny Finch

Life is the sum of all your choices. ~Albert Camus |
"Never explain what you do. It speaks for itself. You only muddle it by talking about it." ~ Shel Silverstein

It can be tempting to blame others for our loss of direction. We get lots of information about life but little education in life from parents, teachers, and other authority figures, who should know better from their experience. Information is about facts. Education is about wisdom and the knowledge of how to love and survive. But no matter how much advice you get, you are the one who chooses which train to board. As you pass through life, pay attention to the signs and stations; if you don't like the scenery, pull the emergency cord and get off the train. There is no other conductor in charge. There is no one who needs to give you permission to transfer. This is your life. Your journey. Your trip to conduct.
Bernie Siegel |
Nothing can produce so great a serenity of life as a mind free from guilt
and kept untainted, not only from actions, but purposes that are wicked. By this means the soul will be not only unpolluted but also undisturbed. The fountain will run clear and unsullied. Plutarch |
because I'm in *that* sort of mood.... a twofer.
"Chastity: The most unnatural of the sexual perversions." ~Aldous Huxley, Eyeless in Gaza, 1936
"I'm all for bringing back the birch, but only between consenting adults." ~Gore Vidal |
"Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on."
~Bob Newhart |

"I believed that to have a horse between my legs, to extend my pulse and blood
and energy to theirs enhanced my vision. Made of me a seer." "I am a boy no longer. I am a man now who works away from horses, who lives in a common blindness, seeing with his eyes only. But a man with a remembered glimpse of sightedness. And it is horses that I have to thank." |
"It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up -- that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had." ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

"It shocks to me realize how life and memory work. A word here, a flash there, and suddenly the layer of grass is peeled back, a mound of earth is removed, and you're staring into the grave at the skull of what you loved. The bones had always been there, you just hadn't known where to look. Or perhaps you hadn't been brave enough."
L. Rice |

Happy Day of your Birth - Mr. Gillespie
"I always try to teach by example and not force my ideas on a young musician. One of the reasons we're here is to be a part of this process of exchange." - Dizzy Gillespie |
“Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something” - Proverb |
“This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.” - Walt Whitman |
“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” –Theodore Roosevelt

Joy is even greater when it comes unexpected.
Theophile de Viau |
The sheer rebelliousness in giving ourselves permission to fail frees a childlike awareness and clarity. . . . When we give ourselves permission to fail, we at the same time give ourselves permission to excel.
Eloise Ristad |
For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. Fr. Alfred D'Souza |
Unfortunately, all is not beauty and peace. I don't believe I've ever met a person who hasn't been challenged or wounded by something. Difficulties present choices: we can either waste away from our wounds or use them to grow our souls. My husband, for example, is a survivor of the Second World War. As a child, he suffered through six years of bombings, near-escapes, and concentration camps. Part of his soul work has been the gradual transformation of this deep well of grief and pain. As he heals himself, he also participates in healing that terrible idea of war in others. I have always said that no one heals alone--we heal through and for one another.
Joan Borysenko |
People are never helped
in their suffering by what they think for themselves, but only by revelation of a wisdom greater than their own. It is this which lifts them out of their distress. C.G. Jung |
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision. I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace. Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same. Helen Keller |
fabulous, indeed!
“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.” ~ Carrie Bradshaw, "Sex and the City"

"I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring."
~David Bowie |
"This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one." - George Bernard Shaw

The highest result of education is tolerance.
~Helen Keller |
"A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe." - Wayne Dyer |
"Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door." - Coco Chane l |
"A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble." - Mohandas Gandhi |
"She must find a boat and sail in it. No guarantee of shore. Only a conviction that what she wanted could exist, if she dared to find it." ~ Jeanette Winterson
