The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your

eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God

just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's

plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily

bread are the sweetest things of life.

~ Robert Louis Stevenson ~

(1850-1895, Scottish Essayist, Poet, Novelist)

to be what one is
with all one's faculties and perceptions,
strengthened by all the skill which one can acquire,

And then to stand before the judgement of time."...Stephen Spender

To those who see with loving eyes,
life is beautiful.
o those who speak with tender voices,
life is peaceful.
o those who help with gentle hands, life is full.
nd to those who care with compassionate hearts,
life is good beyond all measure. Unknown

"The more we create,
the more we love and lose those whom we love,
the more we escape from death.
With every new work we round and finish,
we escape into the work we have created,
the soul we have loved, the soul that has left us.
When all is told,
Rome is not in Rome;
the best of a man lies outside himself."...Romain Rolland
