Live By Them

As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words,
but to live by them.
~John Fitzgerald Kennedy~

Freedom

Oh, to be a bird and fly.

Nothing seems more beautiful.

Journey

If seeds in the black earth can turn into such beautiful roses,
what might not the heart of man become
in its long journey
toward the stars?
~ G.K. Chesterton ~

Live For Beauty

What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for Beauty, and never see the Dawn!  

~Logan Pearsall Smith~

Apart

Love is missing someone whenever you're apart,
but somehow feeling warm inside
because you're close in heart.
~Kay Knudsen~

The Depths

I believe if I should die, and you were to walk near my grave, from the very depths of the earth I would hear your footsteps.  

~Benito Perez Galdos~

Happy New Year

We will open the book.
Its pages are blank.
We are going to put words on them ourselves.
The book is called Opportunity
and
its first chapter is
New Year's Day.
