Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins. ~Benjamin Franklin



Chase down your passion like it's the last bus of the night. ~Glade Byron Addams



Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~Attributed to Howard Thurman



Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless. ~Honoré de Balzac



Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand. ~Emily Kimbrough



Someone to tell it to is one of the fundamental needs of human beings. ~Miles Franklin

Yes, yes, last bus of the night is something I don´t want to miss, especially if I´m low on cash after a night out. I wish passion was cruising out there on the streets too.

I am so "into" sky photos after Skywatch Friday that I zeroed in your two photos with the sunset and the clouds. Very lovely.

The last one by Miles Franklin is my favorite. We all need someone to tell it too. Have a great weekend.

"Chase down your passion like it's the last bus of the night." ~Glade Byron Addams
That struck the strongest cord.

Peggy said...

We both have a love of quotes and All of these on passion resonated with me. I need to live my life with passion again! Thank you, I needed these today!
have a great weekend!

Sujatha Bagal said...

Loved all the quotes, but the 'someone to tell it to' one got to me. That's what makes the husband and I reach out to each other quickly even after we've had a big ol' fight. We're that someone to each other. Thanks for these, Sylvia. There's always something here that I'm thinking about or feeling or don't even know I'm feeling until I see it here. Have a great day!

Sunny said...

Your lovely pictures and quotes always make my heart smile.

Passion is the key to opening up the heart. When we have inspiration to share, there is never ever anything to fear. All there is then is the love of one's attention.

Miles Franklin speaks for me. That's why I blog.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
