Living

Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. 

It’s not the time that matters, it’s the person.

Poem: A Word to Husbands

To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.

                    Ogden Nash

 

 

 

 

Good news?

If the gospel isn't good news for everybody, 

        then it isn't good news for anybody.

Poem: Dust of Snow

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

            Robert Frost 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bewilderment

Life is easy to chronicle, 

        but bewildering to practice.

                    E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

 

 

 

 

 

Aloha

In Hawaii they say, "aloha." That's a nice one.
It means both "hello" and "good-bye"
Which just goes to show, if you spend enough time in the sun
you don't know whether you're coming or going.

                George Carlin, Napalm and Silly Putty

Immortality

Untitled
By Sappho

Although they are

Only breath, words
which I command
are immortal.
