the good life

“Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.”

-Socrates

gaining wisdom

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

-Confucius

parenting...

“Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.”

-Plato

trees

“God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.”

-John Muir

non-seussicality

“I like nonsense. It wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”

-Dr. Seuss
