Rainer Maria Rilke

George Washington Carver


Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also - if you love them enough.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca


We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.

Rig Veda


Wake up with one mind, my friends, and kindle the fire, you many who share the same nest. Make your thoughts harmonious stretch them on the loom make a ship whose oars will carry us across.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson


Parting is all we know of heaven and all we need of hell.

Napoleon Bonaparte


Few really believe. The most only believe that they believe or even make believe.

What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god!
