"Wisdom for the Journey"

"Do not assume that only those lives marked by grand achievements or spectacular heroics have value. An ordinary life, striving for virtue and wisdom, is an achievement in itself."

It's not dying I'm talking about, IT"S LIVING!!"

Augustus Mcrae, Lonesome Dove

"Contentment comes from neither doing nor having, but from BEING."

"As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life." The Buddha

"Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." Nathaniel Hawthorne

"laugh as much as you breath and love as long as you live"

"try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry, try to be alive. you will be dead soon enough" William Saroyan
