Autumn is full of leave-taking.

Saddle your dreams before you ride em.

If you stop to be kind, you must swerve often from your path.

Green is the fresh emblem of well founded hopes. In blue the spirit can wander, but in green it can rest.

Nature's music is never over; her silences are pauses, not conclusions.

The well of Providence is deep. It's the buckets we bring to it that are small.

The past is only the present become invisible and mute; and because it is invisible and mute, its memorized glances and its murmurs are infinitely precious. We are tomorrow's past.

For the more a soul conforms to the sanity of others, the more does it become insane.

Autumn is full of leave-taking. In September the swallows are chattering of destination and departure like a crowd of tourists.

It's the folks that depend on us for this and for the other that we most do miss.

Give me good digestion, Lord, And also something to digest; but where and how that something comes I leave to Thee, who knoweth best.

I feel what they feel. And people who listen to me know that, and it makes them feel like they're not alone.

Long ago I left heroics to the heroes

...but I've never regretted it. You can't regret experience.

In contentment and joy are found the height and perfection of all love towards our neighbor.
