What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow. What are brief? today and tomorrow. What are frail? spring blossoms and youth. What are deep? the ocean and truth.
“One day in the country Is worth a month in town”
“Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad”
Choose love not in the shallows but in the deep.”
For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.
Tread softly! All the earth is holy ground.
Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun.
