Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.
Frances de Sales
Wisdom is divided into two parts: (a) having a great deal to say and (b) not saying it.
Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed.
Michael Pritchard
When nobody around you seems to measure up, it's time to check your yardstick.

Sylvia: What wonderful captures of the nature of Washington State.
always a joy to read the quotes and watch the shots. :)
I love the one about the yardstick. So true how we can get like that. This is a good quote to remember!
lovely skywatches too Sylvia.
That´s the weather to go out boating!
Beautiful shots, and wise words well said!
Thanks for visiting my site. This is the first time on yours. I see that you have an amazing eye and express yourself so sensitively. I'll stay in touch.
Sylvia this is an amazingly beautiful post, you photos are a delight to the senses and your quotes are true truisms.
I love the analogy of fear.
First I was stunned by the waterfall, then the river of life but then came the magnificent sun bursting out of the sky that really knocked me over.
We call those smooth round coloured rocks 'lucky stones' where I come from Sylvia. Put them under crystal running water and they become magical.

Wonderful images and enjoyed the quotes. Words to live by.
Great scenery and quotes as always. Enjoy it.
Wise words, indeed.
And wonderful photos to help the medicine go down. ;-)
My goodness, Sylvia, you get full marks with this set and each quote is perfect. Happy Happy SWF!
These are wonderful! I thought that first one was spectacular and then I got down to the one over the ocean with the sun's ray's and oh, my goodness!
I like the words about fear. The last few sermons I've heard have been teaching that fear is a lack of faith and that goes right with your words too.
I love waterfalls and lovely streams. Thanks for great photos of both.
I, too, like the Michael Pritchard quote about fear. So true.
What LOVELY watery views you've shared along with your evening words of wisdom. Simply breathtakingly beautiful ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
