"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched​ hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship;​ it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with friendship."​

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Man is his own star; and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate;
Nothing to him falls early or too late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still."​
           Epilogue to Beaumont and Fletcher's Honest Man's Fortune

A gulp of clean air,
a sup of fresh water,
a bit of blue sky and
pure thoughts

AMICUS VERUS EST RARA AVIS

"Friend​s are like melons. Shall I tell you why? To find one good a hundred you must try."

AUREA MEDIOCRITAS


The mountain and the squirrel
Had a quarrel,
And the former called the latter, "little​ prig":
Bun replied,
You are doubtless very big,
But all sorts of things and weather
Must be taken in together
To make up a year,
And a sphere.
And I think it no disgrace
To occupy my place.
If I'm not so large as you,
You are not so small as I,
And not half so spry:
I'll not deny you make
A very pretty squirrel track;
Talents differ; all is well and wisely put;
If I cannot carry forests on my back,
Neither can you crack a nut.

R.W Emerson
