The language of friendship is not words but meanings. - Henry David Thoreau

"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live."

"He who hears the rippling of rivers in these degenerate days will not utterly despair."

"Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake."

"The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them."

"I am a happy camper so I guess I’m doing something right. Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder."
