Home is the place, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. - Robert FrostOne man who has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven't and don't. - George Bernard ShawWho is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody. - Benjamin FranklinMy words fly up, my thoughts remain below; Words without thoughts never to heaven go. - William Shakespeare |

It is a delicious moment, certainly, that of being well-nestled in bed and feeling that you shall drop gently to sleep. The good is to come, not past; the limbs are tired enough to render the remaining in one posture delightful; the labor of the day is gone. Whatever evil befalls us, we ought to ask ourselves ... how we can turn it into good. So shall we take occasion, from one bitter root, to raise perhaps many flowers. When moral courage feels that it is in the right, there is no personal daring of which it is incapable. Danger for danger's sake is senseless. Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace. Stolen kisses are always sweetest. Jenny kissed me when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in; Time, you thief, who love to get Sweets into your list, put that in. Say I'm weary, say I'm sad, Say that health and wealth have missed me; Say I'm growing old, but add Jenny kissed me. And, lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest. Patience and gentleness is power. The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing. Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw, within the moonlight in his room, Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, An angel, writing in a book of gold; Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the presence in the room he said— "What writest thou?" The Vision raised its head, And, with a look made all of sweet accord, Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord." |
