Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination. Anon
True love begins when nothing is looked for in return. Love is a game where both win. Anon
Use the talents you possess, for the world would be very silent if no birds sang except the best. Anon
With ordinary talent and extraordinary perserverance all things are attainable.
Thomas Foxwell Buxton
Your vision will become clear only when you look to your heart.
He who looks outside, dreams. He who looks inside, awakens. Carl Jung
Alas for those who cannot sing and die with all their music in them. O.W. Holmes
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.
Herman Melville
Through the practice of deep looking and deep listening, we become free, able to see the beauty and values in our own and others... Thich Nhat Hanh
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. - George Bernard
Happiness keeps You Sweet,_ Trials keep You Strong,_ Sorrows keep You Human,_ Failures keeps You Humble,_ Success keeps You Glowing,_ But your friends keep You Going. Anon
Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success.
When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. Carl Jung
We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. Japanese Proverb
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we
let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Mariane Williamson
"May your trails be crooked, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds, may your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where deer walk across the white sand beaches, where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags, where something more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you - beyond that next turning of the canyon walls." Edward Abbey A Prayer for the Traveler
The best things can't be told... because they transcend thought. The second best are misunderstood because these are the thoughts that are supposed to refer to that which can't be thought about and one get stuck with the thoughts! The third best is what we talk about. Joseph Campbell
