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.

Irish Proverb

May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, and tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you, and all that your heart may desire.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.

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.

Edward Hopper

More of me comes out when I improvise.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Swedish Proverb

Those who wish to sing always find a song.

Vincent van Gogh

The best way to know life is to love many things.

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.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The only true gift is a portion of thyself.

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.
