The heights by great ones reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.
~ E. B White, Charlotte: Charlotte's Web |
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory. :dogwalking: ~Albert Schweitzer |
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
~Frederick Keonig |
Most of our faults are more pardonable than the means we use to conceal them. ~François, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, Maxims, 1665 |
Within the sound of silence, A million words are heard. If you but only listen with your intuition. ~*~ |
"We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness." - David Weatherford

No te quiero sino porque te quiero
y de quererte a no quererte llego y de esperarte cuando no te espero pasa mi corazón del frío al fuego. Te quiero sólo porque a ti te quiero, te odio sin fin, y odiándote te ruego, y la medida de mi amor viajero es no verte y amarte como un ciego. Tal vez consumirá la luz de Enero, su rayo cruel, mi corazón entero, robándome la llave del sosiego. En esta historia sólo yo me muero y moriré de amor porque te quiero, porque te quiero, amor, a sangre y fuego. Pablo Neruda ~ Sonnet LXVI |

Tell me what company you keep and I'll tell you what you are.

Quote:
I do believe the translation should read: Tell me what company you keep and I'll tell you who you are. So true... |
In my reading tonight...
Consider the trees which allow the birds to perch and fly away without either inviting them to stay or desiring them never to depart. If your heart can be like this, you will be near to the way.

We find by losing. We hold fast
by letting go. We become something new by ceasing to be something old. This seems to be close to the heart of that mystery. - Frederick Buechner |

"No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth." - Robert Shouthey |
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival." - C.S. Lewis |
"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead." - Louisa May Alcott |
