Thomas Moore, Irish Poet
The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.

Henry David Thoreau
All these expanding leaves and flower buds are much more beautiful in the rain, covered with clear drops. They who do not walk in the rain never behold them in their freshest and most radiant beauty.
Marcus Aurelius
Very little is needed to make a happy life - it is all within yourself and in your way of thinking.
Benjamin Mays
The tragedy in life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success.
When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The soul is indestructible and its activity will continue through eternity. It is like the sun, which, to our eyes, seems to set at night; but it has in reality only gone to diffuse its light elsewhere.
Carl Jung
The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.

To reach any goal requires that we be unyielding about where we intend to go, but flexible about how to get there.
Vincent Van Gogh
If you hear a voice within you saying "you are not a painter", then by all means paint...and that voice will be silenced.
HIGH FLIGHT, by Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings:
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up in the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Mark Twain
Dance like nobody's watching;
Love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening;
Live like it's heaven on earth.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening;
Live like it's heaven on earth.
Found inscribed over a doorway at Westminster Abbey
Of the craftsmen it may be said that
in the handiwork of their craft is their prayer.

Longfellow, Ladder of Saint Augustine, st. 10
The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.

Philip Thatcher
Ask not what the world needs;
ask rather what makes your heart sing,
and go do that -
for what the world needs
is people
with hearts that sing.

Henry van Dyke
Be glad of life,
for it gives you the chance
to love, and to work, and to play,
and to look up at the stars.

Goethe
One should, every day at least,
hear a little song, read a good poem,
see a fine picture, and, if possible,
speak a few reasonable words.

John Muir
This grand show is eternal.
It is always sunrise somewhere,
the dew is never all dried at once,
a shower is forever falling,
vapor is ever rising.
Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset,
eternal dawn and gloaming,
on sea, continents, and islands,
each in its turn
as the round earth rolls.
