“place where man laughs, sings, picks flowers, chases butterflies and pets birds, makes love with maidens, and plays with children. Here he spontaneously reveals his nature, the base as well as the noble. Here also he buries his sorrows and difficulties and cherishes his ideals and hopes. It is in the garden that men discover themselves. Indeed one discovers not only his real self but also his ideal self?he returns to his youth. Inevitably the garden is made the scene of man's merriment, escapades, romantic abandonment, spiritual awakening or the perfection of his finer self.” MenWellsChildrenMadeRealSelfPlaySpiritualLaughingYouthFlowerReturnSorrowSceneBirdPicksIdealsGardenPerfectionDifficultyNobleAwakeningPetCherishButterflyMaking LoveAbandonmentSpiritual AwakeningMaidensReal SelfMerrimentEscapade Author:Confucius
“History is not the story of heroes entirely. It is often the story of cruelty and injustice and shortsightedness. There are monsters, there is evil, there is betrayal. That's why people should read Shakespeare and Dickens as well as history ~~ they will find the best, the worst, the height of noble attainment and the depths of depravity.” PeopleShouldWellsBookStoriesEvilReadingWorstHeroDepthInjusticeBetrayalNobleMonstersCrueltyHeightAttainmentDepravityDickensBooks And Reading Author:David McCullough
“Your life is like a book. The title page is your name, the preface your introductions to the world. The pages are a daily record of your efforts, trials, pleasures, discouragements, and achievements. Day by day your thoughts and acts are being inscribed in your book of life. Hour by hour, the record is being made that must stand for all time. Once the word 'finish' must be written, let it then be said of your book that it is a record of noble purpose, generous service, and work well-done.” WorldWellsMadeSaidBookDoneMotivationalLife IsPurposeNamesHoursPleasureEffortRecordsWrittenAchievementPagesNobleTrialsAll TimeTitlesGenerousIntroductionLife Is LikeDiscouragementWell DoneBook Of LifeWork Well DoneLife Is Like A Book Author:Grenville Kleiser
“Men that are free, well-born, well-bred, and conversant in honest companies, have naturally an instinct and spur that prompteth them unto virtuous actions, and withdraws them from vice, which is called honour. Those same men, when by base subjection and constraint they are brought under and kept down, turn aside from that noble disposition, by which they formerly were inclined to virtue, to shake off and break that bond of servitude, wherein they are so tyrannously enslaved; for it is agreeable with the nature of man to long after things forbidden, and to desire what is denied us.” MenWellsLongActionDesireTurnsBornCompanyBreakVirtueHonestHonorInstinctVicesNobleShakesHonourDeniedVirtuousDispositionForbiddenConstraintsSpursServitudeNature Of ManSubjection Author:Francois Rabelais
