“While it is February one can taste the full joys of anticipation. Spring stands at the gate with her finger on the latch.”
~ Patience Strong
A little of this. A little of that.
“While it is February one can taste the full joys of anticipation. Spring stands at the gate with her finger on the latch.”
~ Patience Strong
We rely upon the poets, the philosophers, and the playwrights
to articulate what most of us can only feel, in joy and sorrow.
They illuminate the thoughts for which we only grope; they
give us the strength and balm we cannot find in ourselves.
Whenever I feel my courage wavering I rush to them. They will
give me the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resilience to
push on.
— Helen Hayes
Wisdom Quotes
Beauty is whatever gives joy. — Edna St. Vincent Millay
Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.
– The Buddha
