I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes.
From Sara Teasdale
Life is but thought.
I have no riches but my thoughts. Yet these are wealth enough for me.
No one worth possessing can be quite possessed.
It is strange how often a heart must be broken before the years can make it wise.
Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings, and children's faces looking up, holding wonder like a cup.
When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange - my youth.
Call him wise whose actions, words, and steps are all a clear because to a clear why.
There's nothing half so real in life as the things you've done... inexorably, unalterably done.
Oh who can tell the range of joy or set the bounds of beauty?
