Quote
1904·Borgeby, Sweden
If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches.
Lord: it is time. The huge summer has gone by. Now overlap the sundials with your shadows, and on the meadows let the wind go free. Command the fruits to swell on tree and vine; grant them a few more warm transparent days, urge them on to fulfillment then, and press the final sweetness into the heavy wine.
Kahlil Gibran·1923But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love.
Thomas Merton·1953It is in deep solitude that I find the gentleness with which I can truly love my brothers. The more solitary I am, the more affection I have for them.
Eleanor Roosevelt·1960Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
