Autumn Colours





There is a harmony in the autumn,
a lustre in its sky,
which through summer is not heard or seen,
as if it could not be,
as if it had not been!
Shelley

I know just one freedom,
and that is the freedom of the mind.

Travel for travel's sake

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere,
but to go.
Travel for travel's sake.
The great affair is to move.
Stevenson

Something of value

I have always believed, and I still believe, that
whatever good or bad fortune may come our way
we can always give it meaning and transform it
into something of value.
Hermann Hesse

Expectations and reality


Don't lower your expectations to meet your
performance.
Raise your level of performance to meet your
expectations.
Expect the best of yourself,
and then do what is necessary
to make it a reality.
Marston

Sound of the sea


The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep,
I heard the first wave of the rising tide,
A voice out of the silence of the deep,
A sound mysteriously multiplied,
The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul.
H.Wadsworth

Innocence

Innocence dwells with wisdom,
but never with ignorance.
William Blake
