| To be open to inspiration, one must cultivate a leaning for the problematic, a chronic attraction to things that do not totally fit, agree, or make sense. Inspired ideas are less often solutions to old problems than newly discovered or totally reformulated problems -- problems 'created' like brilliant works of art. ~Robert Grudin Mistakes are the portals of discovery. -~James Joyce Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering. ~Pooh's Little Instruction Book, inspired by A. A. Milne The comfortable and comforting people are those who look upon the bright side of life; gathering its roses and sunshine and making the most that happens seem the best. ~Dorothy Dix To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude. ~Albert Schweitzer |
It is a glorious privilege to live, to know,
to act, to listen, to behold, to love. To
look up at the blue summer sky; to see
the sun sink slowly beyond the line of
the horizon; to watch the worlds come
twinkling into view, first one by one, and
the myriads that no man can count, and
lo! the universe is white with them; and
you and I are here. ~Marco Morrow
That man is successful who has lived
well, laughed often, and loved much,
who has gained the respect of the
intelligent men and the love of children;
who has filled his niche and
accomplished his task; who leaves the
world better than he found it, whether by
an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or
a rescued soul; who never lacked
appreciation of earth's beauty or failed
to express it; who looked for the best in
others and gave the best he had.
~Robert Louis Stevenson
True silence is the rest of the mind; it is
to the spirit what sleep is to the body,
nourishment and refreshment.
~William Penn
Great spirits have always encountered
violent opposition from mediocre minds.
~Albert Einstein
