Harmony is next to godliness.
Johann Sebastian Bach

Cease trying to work everything out with your minds. It will get you nowhere. Live by intuition & inspiration & let your whole life be Revelation.
Eileen Caddy

Man Ray 1890-1976 — Photographer. Leading artist in Paris in the 30s, 40s and 50s.

A creator needs only one enthusiast to justify him.

Mankind must reach a balance with nature and live in harmony where the quest for spirit is more important than the gods of the flesh. Unless we can change, change quickly on both a physical and spiritual level, we all soon must face the final winter. Tom Brown Jr. 1950-2024 — World famous survivalist.

Encouragement is oxygen to the soul. George Matthew Adams

Paul Coelho 1947 — "THE ALCHEMIST"

An enthusiastic heart finds opportunities everywhere.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH EXPLANATIONS: PEOPLE ONLY HEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.
FORGIVE but do not forget or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives. Forgetting loses the lesson.
THE PAIN OF YESTERDAY IS THE STRENGTH OF TODAY.
TO SUCCEED IN LIFE you must have the courage to be hated.
YOU are your own best friend. Never ever, put yourself down.
GOD ALWAYS OFFERS US A SECOND CHANCE IN LIFE.

"Glenarm had a feeling, a spirit, a strong sense of place to which I succumbed."
Rosie Schaap

Sonya Grace — Once we climb the mountain,
it's much easier to see the
past, present and future.

Joseph Addison — "What sunshine is to flowers,
smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles, to be sure;
but scattered along life's pathway,
the good they do is inconceivable."

Saint Francis de Sales 1567-1622 — "Treatise on the Love of God."

Nothing is so strong as gentleness — nothing so gentle as real strength.
Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly & in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.
Have patience with all things. But first of all with yourself.
Be who you are and be that well.

Ray Bradbury 1920-2012 — "Fahrenheit 451" "D andelion Wine" "The Veldt"

Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never make it.

Robertson Davies 1913-1995 — "World of Wonders" "The Rebel Angels"

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to see.
Extraordinary people survive under the most terrible circumstances & they become more extraordinary.
The nature of happiness is such that happiness retreats the more intensely you pursue it.
Conversation in its true meaning isn't all wagging the tongue; sometimes it is a deeply shared silence.
There is no nonsense so gross that society will not, at some time, make a doctrine of it & defend it with every weapon of communal stupidity.
