Evening, Wisdom and Beauty


The quotes today are from two of my favorite writers.



A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.
Mark Twain



A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.
Mark Twain



A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.
Mark Twain



A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.
Mark Twain



A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
Leo Buscaglia



Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Leo Buscaglia



Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Leo Buscaglia

Sylvia I loved that picture of the sunset ? sky : ) I am a sky person too : ) I also loved the rest of the pictures with the quotes .. the onlyt hin I would changed would be Mark's ? usage of "man" lets just say human being ? person ? he was a bit of a sexist whether he thought so or not ? LOL

Beautiful photos. I used that same Leo Buscaglia quote about the single rose as the caption of one of my photos a while back too.

Holy cow, look at those photos. Picking a favourite in yours is always too difficult -- but this time I think it's those mountains I like best, the very last one! I can't wait to "meet" them for real. Most of all I can't wait to see you!!

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.
