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

William Wordsworth


What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be not forever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
Grief not, rather find,
Strength in what remains behind,
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be,
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of Human suffering,
In the faith that looks through death
In years that bring philophic mind.

Soren Kierkegaard


Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.

Cynthia Ozick

Sir Walter Besant


If you must hold yourself up to your children, hold yourself up as an object lesson and not as an example.
