"Happy the man ...."

Happy the man, and happy he alone, He, who can call today his own: He who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today.

John Dryden

"If there is to be any peace ...."

If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having.

Henry Miller

"Sit down, slow down ...."

“Sit down, slow down and try to be who you are.”

"They might not need me; yet they might."

"They might not need me; yet they might.

I’ll let my Heart be just in sight;

A smile so small as mine might be

Precisely their necessity."
