“Whether things turn out for the better
depends on what we do.
We ought not spend our time
masterminding the future,
but recognize our marching orders:
to do the best we can
for history and the planet.”
~ Huston Smith
“Iron rusts from disuse;
water loses its purity from stagnation…
even so, does inaction
sap the vigor
of the mind.”
~ Leonardo da Vinci
“When a train
goes through a tunnel
and it gets dark,
you don’t throw away
the ticket and jump off.
You sit still and
trust the engineer.”
~ Corrie Ten Boom
“I absolutely adore cows.
They’re the most fascinating,
gentle and beautiful animals.
Their eyes are so amazing.
I have ten that live on the land
around my house.
I love to talk to them.
There are few things better
than falling asleep in a field
and being woken up
by an inquisitive cow.”
~ Mary Quant
“I call horses ‘Divine Mirrors’.
They reflect back
the emotions you put in.
If you put in love,
and respect, and kindness,
and curiosity,
the horse will return that.”
~ Allan Hamilton
“Let the rain kiss you.Let the rain beat upon your head
with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.”
~ Langston Hughes
“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth,
so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind.
To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again.
To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over
the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”
~ Henry David Thoreau
“Nothing is more beautiful
than the loveliness
of the woods
before sunrise.”
~ George Washington Carver
“A morning glory
at my window
satisfies me more
than the metaphysics
of books.”
~ Walt Whitman
