Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.

The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about nor read about nor seen but if one will are to be lived.

Develop an interest in life as you see it the people things literature music - the world is so rich simply throbbing with rich treasures beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time observe the hours of the universe not of the cars.

It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

We need to give each other the space to grow to be ourselves to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas openness dignity joy healing and inclusion.

Maybe our young people are not as vacuous as we would like to lead ourselves to believe - that all they're interested in is hairdos and looking at other beautiful people. Maybe they're interested in learning something.

Part of the joy of music is listening to lots of different kinds of music and learning from it. Specifically for me I like writing songs that move me and what moves me are beautiful songs on the piano or the guitar and really really heavy music.

People desire to separate their worlds into polarities of dark and light ugly and beautiful good and evil right and wrong inside and outside. Polarities serve us in our learning and growth but as souls we are all.

I'm interested in learning more about myself and what I value in myself and letting that be the beautiful part of me rather than putting on the makeup or wearing the right designer.
