Thoughtful Thursday XL
The books - the generous friends who met me without suspicion - the merciful masters who never used me ill!
~Wilkie Collins
I have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it.
~Edgar Allan Poe
It is better, I think, to grab at the stars than to sit flustered because you know you cannot reach them.
~R.A. Salvatore
There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.
~Martin Luther King Jr.
Life is not so idiotically mathematical that only the big eat the small; it is just as common for a bee to kill a lion or at least to drive it mad.
~August Strindberg
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome.
~Derek Walcott
Set wide the window. Let me drink the day.
~Edith Wharton
(But not today…It’s just too darned cold!..*grin*)
