Keep away from the wisdom that does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children.

SYDNEY HARRIS

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time.
It is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

SHUNRYU SUZUKI

The most important thing is to find out
what is the most important thing.

ANON

It costs nothing, but creates much.
It enriches those who receive without impoverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash, and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
It cannot be begged, borrowed, or stolen, but it is of no earthly good to anyone until it's given away.
So if in your hurry you run across someone too weary to smile, leave one of yours.

MARY ANNE RADMACHER

Consider calling it a challenge rather than a crisis.

LORD BYRON

There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea and the music in its roar
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
