Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



The most important things are the hardest to say, because words diminish them. ~Stephen King



It is astonishing how little one feels alone when one loves. ~John Bulwer



I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity. ~Eleanor Roosevelt



Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you; you must acquire it. ~Sudie Back



Curiosity is a willing, a proud, an eager confession of ignorance. ~S. Leonard Rubinstein, Writing: A Habit of Mind



When the student is ready, the master appears. ~Buddhist Proverb

    Wow Stephen King really got that one right!
    Your quotes are so inspiring Sylvia. They always seem to be just what I need to be thinking about.
    Thanks for another great post.

    Another quiet evening to relax by looking at your pix, reading the quotes and mulling over the words to live by. Maybe I'll work on my stamp collection!

    When in love, one can also feel to be bigger than life.

    Children for sure are curious. It is partly what makes them so delightful.

    For sure, words can only point to the essence of what someone is trying to convey. See, its hard to tell what I am talking about. :)
