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.

    That waterfall photo caught my eye, too. It's just gorgeous! I like the quote about stumbling since I seem to be doing a lot of that lately.

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

    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!

    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.
