I am only one, but I am still one. I cannot do everything, but I can still do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
- Helen Keller
|
To avoid criticism,
do nothing,
say nothing,
be nothing.
- Elbert Hubbard

You often say,
'I would give, but only
to the
deserving.'
The trees in your
orchard say not so, nor the
flocks in your pasture. They
give that they may live, for
to withhold is to perish.
Surely he who is worthy to
receive his days and his
nights is worthy of all
else from you.
- Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet 
|
Come, follow
me, and leave
the world to
its babblings.
- Dante |

Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
- Abraham Lincoln

The man who has not anything
to boast
but of his illustrious
ancestors is like
a potato
--
the only good belonging
to him is underground.
- Sir Thomas Overbury |

There exists no cure for
a heart wounded with the sword of separation.
- Hitopadesa |
To judge human nature
rightly, a man may sometimes
have a very small experience,
provided he has a very large heart.
- Bowler-Lytton |

You don't have to preach honesty to
men with creative purpose. Let a
human being throw the energies of
his soul into the making of
something, and the instinct of
workmanship will take care
of his honesty.
The writers who have nothing to say
are the ones you can buy;the others
have too high a price. A genuine
craftsman will not adulterate his
product. The reason isn't because
duty says he shouldn't, but because
passion says he couldn't.
- Walter Lipperman |
Be glad of life because
it gives you the
chance to love
and to work and to
play and to look up at
the stars.
- Henry Van Dyke |

To renounce your individuality,
to see with another's eyes,
to hear with another's ears,
to be two and yet but one,
to so melt and mingle that you
no longer know you are you or
another, to constantly absorb
and constantly radiate, to reduce
earth, sea and sky and all that in
them is to a single being, to give
yourself to that being so wholly
that nothing whatever is withheld,
to be prepared at any moment for
sacrifice, to double your personality in bestowing it -
that is love.
- Gautier |
Let us endeavor to live so
that when we come to die
even the undertaker will be sorry.
- Mark Twain |

|
Happiness grows at our own
firesides,
and it is not to be
picked in strangers' gardens.
- Douglas Jerrold |
All those who love Nature she loves
in turn, and will richly reward,
not perhaps with the good things, as
they are commonly called, but with
the best things, of this world -
not with money and titles, horses
and carriages, but with bright and
happy thoughts, contentment and
peace of mind.
- John Lubbock |

|
I love to be alone. I never
found the companion that was so companionable
as solitude.
- Thoreau |
The longer I live the more
my mind dwells upon the
beauty and wonder of the
world. I hardly know which
feeling leads, wonderment
or admiration.
- John Burroughs
