believe world inevitable
We believe world peace is inevitable.
grieving people looks
Too many women waste their lives grieving because they do not have something other people tell them they should want. Whether you are happy or not depends to some degree upon outsward circumstances, but mostly it depends how you choose to look at thing syourself, whether you measure what you have or what you have not.
beautiful sea shadow
The mountains are so beautiful they make me ache inside because the moment I look away I know I shall need to see them again. And I cannot spend the rest of my life standing on the spot starting at shifting sunlight and mist and shadows across the sea.
writing thinking people
I think it's a terrible thing to write and not enjoy it. It's a sad thing. But of course a lot of people do work because they need to eat. And we all need to eat, but that's not the only reason to work. You couldn't have paid me not to write.
love blessing soul
To take for granted one's blessings is a damage to the soul, and in time one will lose them, simply from lack of care. One should never tire of nourishing and treasuring all that is lovely.
lying people sin
People only tell lies when the truth is disagreeable to them, or frightens them, or to cover sin.
pain moving space
Maybe right and wrong did not move, but understanding of them did. The wrenching pain of walking the same path, even for a short space, tore away the willingness to judge.
men laughing
The men who cannot laugh at themselves frighten me even more than those who laugh at everything.

name
I'm not a big name at all. Not at all.
accomplish ahead belief energy excitement ideas infinitely larger miles mind renewal thoughts
I am miles ahead with ideas and excitement in the mind, and that is where it all begins. I feel that when I get myself organized, and am in one place long enough, I will have so much energy of mind and belief that I will be able to accomplish infinitely more. My thoughts will be larger and clearer, and with a renewal of life.
believe journey discovery
What do I believe? It has been a long journey of discovery. There have been hesitations and errors along the way, and no doubt will be more, because I am still learning, both about myself and about life.
care gowns forgettable
Your own gown is most delicately suitable, both to the occasion and to yourself,' to be translated: Your gown is insipid and entirely forgettable. If you wear it on every other occasion this entire season, no one will notice or care.
