Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

One joy scatters a hundred griefs.
       Chinese Proverb

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet.  
James Openheim
What a wonderful life I've had!  I only wish I'd realized it sooner.  
Colette

Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. 
 
Nathaniel Hawthorne

    Beautiful pictures -- the Colette quote has me laughing. The butterfly quote is a sign in a butterfly house in Ft Myers and I loved it!
