| Sunset over Lake Michigan |
"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move."
. . . . . . . Travels with a Donkey, 1878
. . . . . . . Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)
"When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies."
. . . . . . . 'Peter Pan, Act I'
. . . . . . . Sir James M. Barrie (1860-1937) |
| Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada |
|  | "What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."
. . . . . . . Last words (1890)
. . . . . . . Crowfoot (Blackfoot warrior- - 1821-1890)
"I am a Shawnee, My forefathers were warriors. Their son is a warrior. From them I take only my existence. From my tribe I take nothing. I am the maker of my own fortune. And oh, that I might make the fortunes of my red people, and of my country, as great as the conceptions of my mind, when I think of the Great Spirit that rules the Universe."
. . . . . . . Vincennes Council Aug 14, 1810 to Terr. Gov. Wm H. Harrison
. . . . . . . Tecumseh (1768-1813) |
Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.
. . . . . . . Wealth, North American Review, June 1889
. . . . . . . Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919)
"If all the good people were clever,
And all the clever people were good,
The world would be wiser than ever
We thought that it possibly could,
But somehow 'tis seldom or never
The two hit it off as they should;
The good are so harsh to the clever,
The clever so rude to the good!"
. . . . . . . Good and Clever
. . . . . . . Elizabeth Wordsworth (1840-1932) | | | Ferris Wheel at Cedar Point Amusement Park, Ohio |
|
| | "The teepee is much better to live in: always clean, warm in winter, cool in summer; easy to move ... Indians and animals know better how to live than whitemen; nobody can be in good health if he does not have all the time fresh air, sunshine, and good water."
. . . . . . . Flying Hawk (1852-1931)
. . . . . . . Oglala Sioux Chief |
"Our chiefs are killed ... the old men are all dead ... The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them have run away to the hills and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are, perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I can find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever."
. . . . . . .To Nez Perce Tribe (Oct. 5, 1877) after surrendering to Gen. Nelson A. Miles
. . . . . . .Chief Joseph (1840-1904)
. . . . . . .Hinmaton-Yalaktit: Thunder Rolling in the Mountains |
| | "Tolerance is the first principle of community; it is the spirit which conserves the best that all men think. No loss by flood and lightning, no destruction of cities and temples by the hostile forces of nature has deprived man of so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has destroyed."
. . . . . . .Helen Keller
. . . . . . . "The Open Door" |
"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
Ant treat those two impostors just the same.
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
. . . . . . . If
. . . . . . . Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)
"Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay."
. . . . . . . Traditions of Devonshire
. . . . . . . A.E. Bray, 1838 | | | Kalaloch Creek, Washington State |
|
| | "Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness'
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
. . . . . . . Tales of a Wayside Inn, 3, The Theologian's Tale
. . . . . . . Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
"Truly, each book is as a ship that bears us away from the fixity of our limitations into the movement and splendor of life's infinite ocean."
. . . . . . . Helen Keller |
