Quote by Edgar Guest

“I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way. The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear, Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear; And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds, For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.”

“Oggi che t’aspettavo non sei venuta. E la tua assenza so quel che mi dice, la tua assenza che tumultuava nel vuoto che hai lasciato, come una stella. Dice che non vuoi amarmi. Quale un estivo temporale s’annuncia e poi s’allontana, così ti sei negata alla mia sete. L’amore, sul nascere, ha di questi improvvisi pentimenti. Silenziosamente ci siamo intesi. Amore, amore, come sempre, vorrei coprirti di fiori e d’insulti.”

“In the depths of contemplation, we encounter the curiosities of reality: the way a breeze can carry whispers of ancient stories, the rustling leaves speaking a language only the soul can comprehend. Each droplet of rain becomes a prism through which we glimpse reflections of ourselves, fragmented yet whole. We reclaim forgotten pieces of our identity in the most unexpected places-a fleeting smile from a stranger, the scent of pine on a winter’s night, the laughter of children echoing in the distance. These ephemeral moments remind us that the present is a mosaic, intricately crafted from the past yet ever vibrant with potential.”
