• Life is an exercise in the development of feeling. When we repress feelings, we become sour and judgmental. When we live awash in great feeling over small things, we become jaded long before we have even begun to enjoy. When feelings are in balance they sweeten long days and great distances with gratitude and hope.

• Yes, I will spend the livelong day
  With Nature in this month of May;
  And sit beneath the trees, and share
  My bread with birds whose homes are there;
  While cows lie down to eat, and sheep
  Stand to their necks in grass so deep;
  While birds do sing with all their might,
  As though they felt the earth in flight.

  W. H. Davies

• The rich man has his motorcar, His country and his town estate, He smokes a fifty-cent cigar And jeers at Fate. He frivols through the livelong day, He knows not Poverty, her pinch. His lot seems light, his heart seems gay; He has a cinch. Yet though my lamp burns low and dim, Though I must slave for livelihood- Think you that I would change with him? You bet I would!
