One may have a blazing hearth in
one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of
smoke from the chimney and continue on their way. - Vincent Van Gogh
Your natural
inclination is to preach and to warn other travellers of snags in the path, but
isn't it better to signal to them some of the joys by the way which they might
otherwise miss? - Sir Robert
Baden-Powell
The thorns which
I have reap'd are of the tree I planted; they have torn me, and I bleed. I
should have known what fruit would spring from such a seed. - Lord Byron
Look at a day when you
are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge
around doing nothing; it’s when you’ve
had everything to do, and you’ve done it. - Lord Acton
Conceited men
often seem a harmless kind of men, who, by an overweening self-respect, relieve
others from the duty of respecting them at all. - Henry Ward Beecher
