That old miracle-Love at first
sight- Needs no explanations. The heart reads aright Its
destiny sometimes.
Owen Meredith
They sin who tell us love can die;
With life all other passions fly, All others are but vanity.
Robert southey
I do not know what it is about you
that closes and opens; Only something n me understands the voice
of your eyes is deeper than all roses.
E. E. Cummings
There is not a breathing of
the common wind that will forget thee
William Wordsworth
The more of my poor heart you take,
The larger grows my heart! And, since some target I must show for
cupids cruel dart, Oh, if mine own you deign to keep, Then give me
your sweet heat!
Edmond Rostand
O, thou art fairer than the evening
air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars
Christopher Marlowe
Love! the surviving gift of Heaven,
The choicest sweet of Paradise, In life's else bitter cup
distilled
Thomas Campbell
Long after moments of closeness
have passed, a part of you remains with me. And warms the
places your hands have touched and hastens my heart for your
return
Robert Sexton
Listen, I will be honest
with you
I do not offer the old smooth prizes
But offer rough new prizes
These are the days that must happen to you:
You shall not heap up what is called riches,
You shall scatter with lavish hand all that you earn or achieve.
However sweet the laid up stores,
However convenient the dwelling, you shall not remain there.
However sheltered the port, however calm the waters, you shall not
anchor there.
However welcome the hospitality that welcomes you,
You are permitted to receive it but a little while Afoot and
lighthearted, take to the open road
Healthy, free, the world before you the long brown path before
you, leading wherever you choose.
Say only to one another:
Camerado, I give you my hand!
I give you my love more precious than money; I give you myself
before preaching and law:
Will you give me yourself?
Will you come travel with me?
Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?
Walt Whitman
Living the Good Life
To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than
luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy not
respectable, and wealthy not rich; to study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly; to listen to the stars and the birds, to
babes and sages with open heart; to hear all cheerfully, do all
bravely, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the
spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common.
Reverend William Henry
Channing
