“To be rich in admiration and free from envy, to rejoice greatly in the good of others, to love with such generosity of heart that your love is still a dear possession in absence or unkindness - these are the gifts which money cannot buy” - Robert Louis Stevenson |
“True character arises from a deeper well than religion. It is the internalization of moral principles of a society, augmented by those tenets personally chosen by the individual, strong enough to endure through trials of solitude and adversity. The principles are fitted together into what we call integrity, literally the integrated self, wherein personal decisions feel good and true. Character is in turn the enduring source of virtue. It stands by itself and excites admiration in others.” - Edward O. Wilson |
"Love is the admiration and cherishing of the amiable qualities of the beloved person, upon the condition of yourself being the object of their action” - Samuel Taylor Coleridge |

All the means of action - the shapeless masses - the materials -
lie everywhere about us. What we need is the celestial fire to change the flint into the transparent crystal, bright and clear. That fire is genius. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
We judge ourselves by what we are capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems,
but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright |

crazy people, who have come together voluntarily to work this stuff out, and do the best we can and try to be as fair as we possibly can with each other, and just struggle though life." :aslpeacelove: ~JerryGarcia~ :peacelove: |
Exactly Right by Charles Bukowski
the strays keep arriving: now we have 5cats and they are smart, spontaneous, self-absorbed, naturally poised and awesomely beautiful. one of the finest things about cats is that when you’re feeling down, very down, if you just look at the cat at rest, at the way they sit or lie and wait, it’s a grand lesson in preserving and if you watch 5 cats at once that’s 5 times better. no matter the extra demands they make no matter the heavy sacks of food no matter the dozens of cans of tuna from the supermarket: it’s all just fuel for their amazing dignity and their affirmation of a vital live we humans can only envy and admire from afar. |
