My days among the Dead are passed;
Around me I behold,
Where'er these casual eyes are cast,
The mighty minds of old:
My never-failing friends are they,
With whom I converse day by day.
With them I take delight in weal,
And seek relief in woe;
And while I understand and feel How much to them I owe,
My cheeks have often been bedewed With tears of thoughtful gratitude.
My thoughts are with the Dead; with them I live in long-past years,
Their virtues love, their faults condemn,
Partake their hopes and fears;
And from their lessons seek and find Instruction with an humble mind.
My hopes are with the Dead;
anon My place with them will be,
And I with them shall travel on Through all Futurity;
Yet leaving here a name,
I trust,
That will not perish in the dust.
--Robert Southey
There is as much greatness of mind in
cknowledging a good turn as in doing it.
Lucius Seneca
Generosity is giving more than you can,
and pride is taking in less than you need.
--Kahlil Gibran
"To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children
...to leave the world a better place
...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure,
still heart,
and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving,
and for every breath a song."
- - Konrad von Gesne
It's not about how much you do,
but how much love you put into what you do that counts.
Life isn't worth living,
unless lived for other people.
- -Mother Theresa
Life is no brief candle to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch
which I have got a hold of for the moment,
and I want to make it burn as brightly
as possible before handing it on to future generations.
- -George Bernard Shaw
