Time...

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.  

~Henry Van Dyke

In the Attitude of Silence...

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.  Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.

 ~Mahatma Gandhi

Dry....

You can swim all day in the Sea of Knowledge and still come out completely dry.  Most people do.

~Norman Juster

Without a wish....

Without a wish, without a will,
I stood upon that silent hill
And stared into the sky until
My eyes were blind with stars and still
I stared into the sky.

~Ralph Hodgson

Pink and petaled..

I turn all thorn then, but you come back again and make my thorniness fragrant and pink and petaled. 
~Rumi

Rainbow...!!

O, beautiful rainbow; - all woven of light!
There's not in thy tissue, one shadow of night;
Heaven surely is open when thou dost appear,
And, bending above thee, the angels draw near,
And sing, - "The rainbow! the rainbow!
The smile of God is here."

~Sarah Josepha Hale

Angels...

Angels descending, bring from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

~Fanny J. Crosby

Over the Hills....

I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least - and it is commonly more than that - sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.  ~Henry David Thoreau
