Mother Teresa

“In the West we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generate results. In the East — especially in India — I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening wihtout a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The success of love is in the loving — it is not in the result of loving.”

Henry David Thoreau

"Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed by them."

Antoine de Saint-Exupe

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Socrates

"The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less."

Timbisha

"....the white rays of the silver moon soften the great chasms round about, and the evening star glows like a blue-white diamond... Our movies are the moving of the breezes through the pinion pines; our dances are the dances of the stars in their courses; and our stories are the romantic reminiscences of lingering memories..."  ~Bessie Johnson~

Georgia O'Keeffe

"The bones seem to cut sharply to the center of something that is keenly alive on the desert even tho' it is vast and empty and untouchable -- and knows no kindness with all its beauty."

To Start...

"Start where you are, not where you think you should be."

John Milton

"The mind is its own place, and in it self. Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n."

JFK

“We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch – we are going back from whence we came."

Yoko Ono

"A dream you dream alone is only a dream;
A dream you dream together is reality"

Eleanor Roosevelt

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Dr. Khalid Mahmud

"Eat God-made foods, not man-made foods."

Kahlil Gibran

"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable."

~Kendra~

26.2

“If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.”
~Bingham~
