"Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite".
-Thomas Carlyle
 
a buddy of mine posted this on his FB. I really dig it...

"Anonymously perform acts of kindness, expecting nothing in return, not even a thank-you. The universal all-creating Spirit responds to acts of kindness with the response: "How may I be kind to you?" - Dr. Wayne Dyer
 
^Funny you posted that b/c I was coming in to post :
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. ~James D. Miles

I am big on people with a strong sense of good character.
I recently wrote my father a letter sort of, an appreciation/peace letter (some of you know my relationship with my father has always been strained but I recently found peace with it. And don't really hold any resentment now) Anyway- In my letter I gave some quotes on character (and other quotes) that remind me of my father. That was one.

More quotes I like:
A pure hand needs no glove to cover it. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Goodness is the only investment that never fails. ~Henry David Thoreau

Fortune does not change men; it unmasks them. ~Suzanne Necker

You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims. ~Harriet Woods

Been a while huh? Thought I'd stop by and add a quote :) And by the way, I hope you all are doing well - I'm doing alright for the time being.

Not sure who said this one first but in light of recent events "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" is a quote that certain TDS posters might want to consider.

"We're so self-important. So arrogant. Everybody's going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save the snails. And the supreme arrogance?
Save the planet! Are these people kidding? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves; we haven't learned how to care for one another. We're gonna save the fuckin' planet? . . . And, by the way, there's nothing wrong with the planet in the first place. The planet is fine. The people are fucked!
Compared with the people, the planet is doin' great. It's been here over four billion years. The planet isn't goin' anywhere, folks. We are! We're goin' away. Pack your shit, we're goin' away. And we won't leave much of a trace. Thank God for that. Nothing left. Maybe a little Styrofoam. The planet will be here, and we'll be gone. Another failed mutation; another closed-end biological mistake."
George Carlin

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. -HDT

I am totally reposting three quotes I posted early on in this thread...........'cause they're great :)

"Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life. "
John Muir
