Pastry of Thinkers

A  L  O  H  A !






 "Judge each day
not by the harvest you reap
but by the seeds you plant."

Robert Louis Stevenson










"I am following Nature without being able to grasp her,
I perhaps owe having become a painter
to flowers. "

Claude Monet



See the Star of David?

"God writes the gospel not in the bible alone, 
but on trees, and flowers, and clouds, and stars."

Martin Luther
 









"Keep your fears to yourself,
but share your courage 
with others."

Robert Louis Stevenson













"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights;
 it is a change that goes on,
deep and permanent,
in the ideas of living."

Miriam Beard











"A warm smile
is the universal language of kindness."

William Arthur Ward

I am sorry for not having been daily by paradise but then here I am now and it is still a beautiful place if but in a moments passing.

No philosophers have to have some bran with that so we stay regular.
