Make the most of every sense; glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you...

What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more, to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes, or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that tumble and roll and climb in riotous gladness!

If we believe that the sun and moon hang in the sky for our delight, there will be joy upon the hills and gladness in the fields.

I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight; silence would teach them the joys of sound.

When one doors closes, another door opens.

Life is to be lived as a magnificent adventure, or not at all.

Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
