Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves. ~François Duc de La Rochefoucauld



If you cannot be a poet, be the poem. ~David Carradine

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~e.e. cummings



There is just one life for each of us: our own. ~Euripides

Wherever you go, go with all your heart. ~Confucius



With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present. ~Jan Glidewell



Don't let the past steal your present. ~Cherralea Morgen

    "If you cannot be the poet, be the poem."

    I like that quote and the waterlily is lovely.

    There is huge logs washed up to the shore? That small shrub of a forest by the sea was so complete too.

    It takes no courage to be yourself when you have become who you really are ~chrome3d

    Thanks for reminding me of de La Rochefoucauld. I never read Maxims, but I have about 25 of his quotes on a sheet of paper on my desk. Your desire to choose such appropriate thoughts for us every day makes these thoughtful people transcend time. E.E. Cummings too had some cool poetry.

    I thought I saw Maxine on that beach. She doesn't have any clothes on. In blog land I spent some time at Pikes Market and then went crabbing in Oregon then I went on a real hike here in Ohio.Do you get to Pikes Market often?
