"...I never again want to see the face of a starving child or hear the weeping of a mother who has lost her son to war. Peace, this is what my husband gave his life for, and I want the world to know that he did not die in vain. Peace, this is what will make me very happy."

- Jehan Sadat, widow of Anwar Sadat,

 "Why are you so afraid of silence? Silence is the root of everything. If you spiral into its void, a hundred voices will thunder messages you long to hear."

~Rumi

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

Albert Camus

Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.

Gerard De Nerval

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.

Lord Byron

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Dale Carnegie
