A L O H A From Honolulu!
A well-ordered life
is like climbing a tower;
the view halfway up
is better than the
view from the base,
and it steadily becomes
finer as the
horizon expands.
William Lyon Phelps
The purpose of life is not to be happy.
It is to be useful, to be honorable,
to be compassionate, to have it
make some difference that
you have lived and lived well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many of life's failures are
experienced by people who
did not realize how close
they were to success
when they gave up.
Thomas Edison
We can avoid the horrors of autocracy by preventing the forces of reaction from coming to power. Joy and optimism can play a big part in this. Far from being cringe-worthy, joy is precious and noble and also the basis of effective anti-authoritarian strategy.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat
Hate has talked so loudly for so long.
Greed has talked so loudly for so long.
Liars have talked so loud for so long.
Love has to stop whispering.
Marianne Williamson

These are all fabulous quotes, Cloudia and so needed during this turbulent time. Wishing you and yours a wonderful, happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI really like Marianne Williamson's quote and Ralph Waldo Emerson's attitude.
ReplyDeleteLove both of you!
ReplyDeleteHello Cloudia,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love the dove and the lizards. Pixie is always a star on your post, so cute. The Lincoln quote is a favorite. Thank you for sharing your critter post and for linking up! Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Abe brought it to the point. Thank you for another uplifting post.
ReplyDeleteAgain, some wonderful quotes. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree with Ralph Waldo.
ReplyDelete...that bench looks inviting.
ReplyDeleteAloha! 🙏
ReplyDeleteLove the rainbow. Great quotes today, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes, Amazing rainbow, Wonderful pics.
ReplyDeleteHello to Pixie :) Happy Weekend.
I had to think twice about the Emerson quote. He may be right, but I still think happiness is a good goal, after all it's even in the constitution.
ReplyDeleteI love those words of Williamson.
ReplyDeleteIt IS the life in your years that count! Beautiful photos, Cloudia, as always.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiring quotes, Cloudia. I loved the rainbow, the bench for 2, and Pixie pics.
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia, I am joyfully viewing your lovely captures, and how much this post speaks to me at the moment. I am using this weekend not just to enjoy but put so much in order myself. Life is busy, and as I put my post together today, I surprised myself with how many drafts I have waiting to be finished and yet I created a new one today for today. What does that tell you about my life? Hugs for you and Pixie too take care and carry on joyfully!
ReplyDeletePixie sees lots of critters.
