Aloha From Honolulu!

You find yourself refreshed by

the presence of cheerful people.

Why not make an honest effort

to confer that pleasure

on others? 

Half the battle is gained if

you never allow yourself to

say anything gloomy.

Lydia M. Child

We taste and feel

and see the truth.

We do not reason

ourselves into it.

        William Butler Yeats

Dawn Moon

The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished.

     Deng Ming-Dao

The greatest evil 

that can befall someone 

is to come to 

think ill of themselves.
