Yours to Seize

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -- over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

- Mary Oliver

Live with Honour

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.

- Socrates

Love

Love one another,
but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.

 ~ Kahlil Gibran

Helping

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Growing Old

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

- Samuel Ullman
