Sleep Well, My Dear.

 A well-spent day brings happy sleep.

Leonardo da Vinci

  O bed!  O bed!  Delicious bed!  

 That heaven upon earth to the weary head.

Thomas Hood

(Miss Kilmansegg and Her Precious Leg - Her Dream)

 All men whilst they are awake

 are in one common world.

 But each of them, when he is asleep,

 is in a world of his own.

Plutarch

Stars of Hope!

We need to learn to set our course by the Stars,

not by the light of every passing ship.

Omar Nelson Bradley

Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor,

nor should life rest on a single Hope.

Epictetus

A Cup of Tea?

 If you are cold, Tea will warm you.

 If you are too heated, it will cool you.

 If you are depressed, it will cheer you.

 If you are excited, it will calm you.

William Gladstone

 There are few hours in life more agreeable than

 the hour dedicated to the ceremony

 known as afternoon Tea.

Henry James

 There is no trouble so great or grave

 that cannot be much diminished

 by a nice cup of Tea.

Bernard-Paul Heroux

First Coffee First!

 Coffee is the best thing to douse the sunrise with.  

Drew Sirtors

 Coffee smells like freshly ground heaven. 

Jessi Lane Adams

 I orchestrate my mornings to the tune of Coffee.  

Harry Mahtar

 The morning cup of Coffee 

 has an exhilaration about it

 which the cheering influence of

 the afternoon or evening cup of tea

 cannot be expected to reproduce.
Oliver Wendall Holmes Sr.

Spice up your life!

 Variety is the spice of life.

 Spice gives variety and life to our food. 

Going the Way of the Dodo?

We owe it to our children and our grandchildren

to be good stewards of the land,

and leave behind a legacy

of protecting endangered species,

and the places they call home.

The most effective way to save endangered species is

to protect the places they need to live.

Every one of these birds

needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act.

In part, it's about protecting habitat,

because every bird and every animal of any kind

needs a home.

Nature is the mother

and the habitat of man,

even if sometimes a stepmother

and an unfriendly home.

Dead as a Dodo!

Praises for our past triumphs are

as feathers to a dead bird !

We think caged birds sing,

when indeed they cry !

No Sense of Humor?

Whenever you have Truth

it must be given with Love,

or the message and the messenger will be rejected.

Mahatma Gandhi

Happiness is when

what you think,

what you say,

and what you do

are in Harmony.

Mahatma Gandhi

 

the Roots of Violence:

wealth without work,

pleasure without conscience,

knowledge without character,

commerce without morality,

science without humanity,

worship without sacrifice,

politics without principles.

Mahatma Gandhi

 

If I had no sense of humor,

I would long ago have committed suicide!

Mahatma Gandhi

Have Wings ? Will Fly !

When once you've tasted flight,

you'll forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,

for there you've been,

and there you'll always long to return !

Aviation is proof that given, the will,

we have the capacity to achieve the impossible !
Edward Vernon Rickenbacker

 

The mastery of the turn is the story of

how aviation became practical

as a means of transportation.

It is the story of how the world became small !
William Langewiesche

 

Nice Doggies! 8P

To err is human,

to Forgive, canine.

Dogs are the most amazing creatures;

they give Unconditional Love.

They are the role model for being alive.

My goal in life is to be as good of a person

my dog already thinks I am.

The greatest love is

a Mother's;

then a Dog's;

then a Sweetheart's.

We are One!

I would look at a dog

and when our eyes met,

I realized that the dog and all creatures

are my family.

They're like you and me.
Ziggy Marley

Walk the Talk

A dog is not considered a good dog

because he is a good barker.

A man is not considered a good man

because he is a good talker.

Dogs of Peace! Dogs for Peace!

 "Dogs are our link to paradise.

They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent.

To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon

is to be back in Eden,

where doing nothing was not boring

- it was peace."

Milan Kundera

Silence of the Swans

In order to see the birds

it is necessary to become
part of the silence.

The bird of paradise alights only
upon the hand that does not grasp.

Faith is the bird that feels the light
when the dawn is still dark

Use what talents you possess;
the woods would be very silent
if no birds sang there
except those that sang best.

"Gift" everyone a Smile!

"Everytime you smile at someone,

it is an action of love,

a gift to that person,

a beautiful thing."

Mother Teresa

Sizing Matters!

The shoe that fits one person pinches another;
 there is no Recipe for Living that suits all cases.
Carl Jung

You cannot put the same shoe on every foot.
Publilius Syrus
