“So much of our early gladness vanishes utterly from our memory: we can never recall the joy with which we laid our heads on our mother's bosom or rode on our father's back in childhood; doubtless that joy is wrought up into our nature, as the sunlight of long-past mornings is wrought up in the soft mellowness of the apricot; but it is gone forever from our imagination, and we can only believe in the joy of childhood.” BelieveLongPastJoyMotherFatherImaginationMemoriesMorningGoneForeverChildhoodSunlightRecallsOur FatherBosomsOur MemoriesGladnessApricotsJoys Of Childhood Book:Four Novels of George Eliot Source: Four Novels of George Eliot
“Imagine you had a bank that each morning credited your account with $1,440 - with one condition: whatever part of the $1,440 you failed to use during the day would be erased from your account, and no balance would be carried over. What would you do? You'd draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage. Well, you do have such a bank, and its name is time. Every morning, this bank credits you with 1,440 minutes. And it writes off as forever lost whatever portion you have failed to invest to good purpose.” WritingWellsUseWould BePurposeNamesLostMorningForeverImagineMinutesConditionsBalanceDrawsAdvantageAccountsCreditPortionsCentsEvery Morning Author:Ann Landers
