Passages of Time.....

Time passes, the anguished years recede.
Who stood for what and when and why grows dim.
people are forgiven, issues are forgotten,
but friends remain friends.


But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
---Benjamin Franklin


A slip of the foot you may soon recover,
but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.
--Benjamin Franklin


Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn't mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.
--Edward R. Murrow

The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye. The more light you shine on it, the more it will contract.
--Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

Another favourite passion of mine is......sunsets!!!! So here are some beauties to enjoy while reading the quotes..........




We are the music makers – we are the dreamers of dreams.


A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.
Before him I may think aloud.
--Emerson


No act of kindness, no matter how small, is every wasted.


The thing that goes farthest towards making life worthwhile,
that costs the least and does the most is just a pleasant smile.


Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.
--Emerson




My creed is this:
Happiness is the only good,
The place to be happy is here,
The time to be happy is now,
The way to be happy is to help make others so.
--Ingersoll


A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue
but parent of all other virtues.
--Cicero

Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things
--Cicero





If you do not understand my silence,
you will not understand my words.

This day is for beauty – find something beautiful
This day is for joy – rejoice in it
This day is for love – show someone love
This day is for tomorrow – treasure its memory

Don’t walk before me – I may not follow
Don’t walk behind me – I may not lead
Just walk beside me and be my friend
--Camus



To love, and to be loved – is the greatest happiness of existence.


I walked beside the evening sea
and dreamed a dream that could not be.
The waves that plunged along the shore
said only “…dreamer, dream no more…”


The most beautiful gift we can give each other is……the truth.



Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love
and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.



It’s chance that makes brothers but hearts that make friends.






Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,
We must carry it with us or we will find it not.
--Emerson

Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts or nor measure words.
--Eliot

A person cannot fully be at peace with others,
until he is at peace with himself.


Nature is painting for us day after day
pictures of infinite beauty – if only we had the eyes to see them.


Yesterday is gone -- forget it.
Tomorrow hasn’t come -- don’t worry about it.
Today is here -- so use it.


It is better to be wise and not seem so
than to seem wise and not be so.


A part of me is left in every place I have loved….
be it a simple tear,
a dream,
or the echo of my voice.






When you’re lonely – I wish you love
When you’re down – I wish you joy
When you’re troubled – I wish you peace
When things are complicated – I wish you simple beauty
When things are chaotic – I wish you inner peace
When things look empty – I wish you hope

I loved you once so tenderly that may God grant another hold you so dear.


Happiness is a butterfly which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp. But, which, if you will sit down quietly may alight upon you.
