"On all the peaks lies peace...." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Every man must form himself as a particular being, seeking, however, to attain that general idea of which all mankind are constituents.”

“Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.”

“There is no better deliverance from the world than through art, and a man can form no surer bond with it.”

“Change may be the vitalizing wind blowing through the house of life, but it is not an abiding force. We need permanent things to soak peace into us as well as progress - the beauty of the earth, seedtime and harvest, the smiles of lovers, the joy of the young in being alive, pride in craftsmanship. Why, oh why must we let ourselves forget these lasting treasures in an age of consuming ambition, speed madness and accumulated goods that leave us no chance to live? If we cannot be contented with a little no wealth will ever satisfy us.”

“The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night And I love the rain.”

“Today, the United States stands as a beacon of liberty and democratic strength before the community of nations. We are resolved to stand firm against those who would destroy the freedoms we cherish. We are determined to achieve an enduring peace - a peace with liberty and with honor. This determination, this resolve, is the highest tribute we can pay to the many who have fallen in the service of our Nation.”

“Was a sunny day, not a cloud in the sky. Not a negative word was heard.”

“Each season brings a world of enjoyment and interest in the watching of its unfolding, its gradual harmonious development, its culminating graces-and just as one begins to tire of it, it passes away and a radical change comes, with new witcheries and new glories in its train.”

“The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.”
