We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.
Kahlil Gibran
(1883-1931)
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
James Allen
(1864-1912)
When the act of reflection takes place in the mind, when we look at ourselves in the light of thought, we discover that our life is embosomed in beauty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1803-1882)
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed.

Thank you for taking the time to put together your collections of quotes. I love the inspiration that comes from similar thoughts coming from different people at different times--confirming, as you said, what has been there all along.
Ok Ms. Wonderful- I am in the "life kinda sucks bigtime" mode at the moment...So, I have decided to turn up the music, Take a really hot bath (our water has not been shut off yet) wear a flouncy skirt with all of my long johns and laugh at this stupid situation. Thanks to you I may make it through another day without stabbing someone...
photography has made me notice the beauty in things that i would have not given a second glance to before. thanks for the reminder through these lovely quotes.
Merry Christmas darling girl.
Lovely post.
Love Renee xoxo
Dear Beautiful Woman,
Just now, I am able to soak in the beauty you have laid out on your recent December posts. Your words and photography are exquisite. A carousel outside in winter? PURE magic. Purple ornaments and packaging? Glorious. Snow for your first Christmas? A gift. And today's quotes~ right in line with what I need to read. The James Allen is a favorite. I'm borrowing Ralph's words, for sure.
I want your heart to be full and rich and blessed, you who offer so much to the world.
All will be well. You deserve nothing less.
xxoo, Graciel
