Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means.

Robert Louis Stevenson

You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.

Dawg, did you see the Irish things I posted a page or two back?

I overheard my husband aver this to his class today, and though it merited inclusion on this board.

~Life is a schoolhouse
Life is a great game and a dangerous one and a fatal one. It is a game that is painful for all of us. It is not easy to be human, and we have all chosen this game so that we may learn, so tht we may grow into various stages of enlightenment

Hi Kate, Yes I did, and I thought I mentioned something about them... but I see now that I didn't. I enjoyed them all, and no I don't mind that you posted the entire Stancil Hill song, I like it!

As for your husband, I believe that Benn is a wise man too!

"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'.

By measure of character and prowess, he's the greatest living ballplayer. That Barry Bonds will never hold a candle to him.

Vincent Willem van Gogh
1853-1890​

“If you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means, pain, and that voice will be silenced.”

“I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate.”

“The best way to know God is to love many things.”

“Our greatest glory consists not in never failing, but in rising every time we fall.”

“Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.”

“If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.”

“How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be?”

“One may have a blazing hearth in one’s soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way.”

“A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.”

“What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”

“It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to... The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.”

“It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.”

“If one is the master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time insight into and understanding of many things.”

“Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.”

“Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.”

“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”

“Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter’s soul.”

“There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.”

One of mine is from Oliver Wendall Holmes:

"The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving"

It helps me cope with the day to day...
