everything lives,
everything is animated,
everything seems to speak to me of my passion,
everything invites me to cherish it.

~Robert Brault
The best things in life are nearest:
Breath in your nostrils,
light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet,
duties at your hand,
the path of right just before you.
Then do not grasp at the stars,
but do life's plain, common work as it comes,
certain that daily duties and daily bread
are the sweetest things in life.
~Robert Louis Stevenson
There is only one day left,
always starting over:
It is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.
