Nobility, Inspiration, and Happiness

A  L  O  H  A !
Royal Hawaiian Hotel

" The only real nobility

 is in being superior 

to your former self. "

Whitney Young











" If you wait for inspiration

 you'll be standing 

on the corner

 after the parade

 is a mile down the street. "

Ben Nicholas 







" Happiness

 is not a station 

you arrive at,

 but a manner 

of traveling. "

Margaret Lee Runbeck








"The dose determines the poison."
Paracelsus, 1537

" If one oversteps

 the bounds of moderation,

 the greatest pleasures

 cease to please. "

I haven't OD'd yet I simply swallow and process. The world of the eyes is not my home only a stopping off point.

A great daily post. The Epictetus quote is so true. The Stoic knew of what he spoke.

Don't know if I can ever be superior to my sweet and innocent childhood self. Seen too much since then.

Always so nice to see what you creatively bring to us. I have a little trouble with Epictetus. I like May West's quote better. "Too much of a good thing is very, very good." That's what I thought about last night when I ate a chocolate candy bar. Yum.

Cloudia, thanks so much for your kind comment on my recent post. It's nice to have friends during difficult times.
