Our life is frittered away by detail. All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow, in thought and mind. My soul can find no staircase to heaven unless it be through earth's loveliness. If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it is your world for the moment. To see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower.
Courage is the foundation of integrity.
Remember no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Man is not free to refuse to do the thing that gives him more pleasure than any other conceivable action. Though we travel the world to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we would find it not. Life is not a matter of milestones but of moments. The voyage of discovery lies not in finding new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
