Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.  ~ Martha Washington

It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person. Always do what you are afraid to do.
 ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.  ~ Oscar Wilde

  7. Great pics and great words to live by. I learned a long time that you have to make the best of whatever situation you are in. I also learned that you have to live the life you have.

  12. Your photos are gorgeous, my friend. I am thinking of the WR thoughts as part of a conversation with the inimitable MT. Perhaps our strength is in their gifts.
