Leave nothing but footprints.
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the
sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by

Beautiful must be the mountains whence ye come,
And bright in the fruitful valleys the streams, wherefrom
Ye learn your song: Robert

The woods are made for the hunters of dreams,
The brooks for the fishers of song;
To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game
The streams and the woods belong. Sam

The animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth. Henry Beston

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. Plato
You can't change the tides, but you can learn to swim
The bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn.
To lead a symphony, you must occasionally turn your back on the crowd.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails.
You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
A calm sea does not produce a skilled sailor.
Happiness is like a Butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it comes and softly sits on your shoulder. L. Richard Lessor

We have no time to stand and stare. WH
Davies – 1916
I will not wish thee riches nor the glow of greatness,
But that wherever thou go
Some weary heart shall gladden at thy smile,
Or shadowed life know sunshine for a while.
And so thy path shall be a track of light,
Like angels’ footsteps passing through the night.
Heroes are known not by their conquests, but by their courage and compassion.
If all be true that I do think,
There are five reasons we should drink;
Good wine; a friend; or being dry;
Or lest we should be by and by;
Or any other reason why. Dean Aldrich
(1647-1710)
