Evening Wisdom, Summer, Beauty



Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock



Do what we can, summer will have its flies. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson



The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth. ~Chinese Proverb



In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. ~Kathy Norris

My life has a superb cast but I can't figure out the plot. ~Ashleigh Brilliant

  5. Those are some great quotes. This new house has way more flies and I had forgotten how irritating they are, besides filthy. All part of summer, as Emerson said.

  7. Beautiful assortment ... wonderful quotes. I especially like Ashleigh Brilliant (have many of his books) and the Emerson quote about flies made me chuckle at it's simple truth!
