THE ANCIENTS HAD IT RIGHT

If you do not see the beauty of a blank scroll, you have nothing to inscribe on it.

Temptation addresses your soul, embrace it.

We are each more than we seem to be, less than we can be, and always what we choose to be.

Knowing what is irrelevant is most relevant.

If a rainbow could speak, why would it?

A man is never alone, his soul walks astride him, whither he goes.

A wise man knows he cannot love and lose.

The serene soul sees only serene skies.

The majesty of the eagle emerges when it soars above and beyond where it can walk, and so, too, man.

Where you arrive is a matter not of an unchosen destiny but of a chosen destination.

The wise man savors the known and relishes the unknown.

It has been said that life is a dream; if so, dream on.

Virtue and beauty are as critical to our being as is the beating heart.

The scholar is a warrior, too, fighting for what is right with a sword of curiosity.

Remember that we are just around the bend from what is just around the bend.

Welcome the stranger for we are all on the same journey, though we take different paths.

The greatest miracle of all is to be in the Universe.
