some I enjoy…

“Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions.  All life is an experiment.  The more experiments you make the better.”

“Give all to love; obey thy heart.”

“Insist on yourself; never imitate… Every great man is unique.”

“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air…”

“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is for you.”

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

“People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.”

“The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.”

“Whoever is open, loyal, true; of humane and affable demeanour; honorable himself, and in his judgement of others faithful to his word as to law, and faithful alike to God and man… such a man is a true gentleman.”

“Every artist was first an amateur.”

I love this quote… is very fitting for 2009 in America (and the world)–> “This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.”
