“Life is what we are alive to. It is not length, but breadth. To be alive only to appetite, pleasure, pride, money-making, and not to goodness and kindness, purity and love, history, poetry, music, flowers, stars, God and eternal hopes, it is to be all but dead.” LifeLife IsStarsPleasureKindnessAliveFlowerPrideGoodnessEternalAnd LoveMaking MoneyPurityLengthAppetiteBreadthGoodness And KindnessPurity And Love Book:Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock Source: Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock
