Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
Aristotle

Jesse · 10-29-2010, 11:16 PM

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle

With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion.

Spirit Dancer · 10-30-2010, 09:05 AM

Whether one is twenty, forty, or sixty; whether
one has succeeded, failed, or just muddled along;
whether yesterday was full of sun or storm, or one of those dull days
with no weather at all, life begins each morning!

Leigh Mitchell Hodges

Spirit Dancer · 10-30-2010, 09:06 AM

It's possible to have too much in life. Too many clothes jade
our appreciation for new ones; too much money can put us
out of touch with life; too much free time can dull the edge
of the soul. We need sometimes to come very near the bone so
that we can taste the marrow of life rather than its superfluities.

Joan Chittister

~Robert Browning
