I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money.
Pablo Picasso
Money is the sign of liberty. To curse money is to curse liberty--to curse life, which is nothing, if it be not free.
de Gourmont
Life shouldn't be printed on dollar bills.
Clifford Odets
When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.
Voltaire
We live by the Golden Rule. Those who have the gold make the rules.
Buzzie Bavasi
Time is more value than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.
Jim Rohn
Time is money.
Benjamin Franklin
Money is like muck, not good except it be spread.
Francis Bacon
Only the poor are obsessed with money.
Unknown Author
More people are bribed by their own money than anybody else's.

Music
Sugar is not so sweet to the palate as sound to the healthy ear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Music is given to us with the sole purpose of establishing an order in things, including, and particularly, the coordination between man and time.
Igor Stravinsky
Music is the shorthand of emotion.

Music imitates (represents) the passions or states of the soul, such as gentleness, anger, courage, temperance, and their opposites.
Aristotle
Music is the soundtrack of your life.

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
Billy Joel
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.

Nature
Helen Keller
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
Anne Frank
What I know of the divine sciences and Holy Scriptures, I learned in woods and fields. I have no other masters than the beeches and the oaks.
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux
I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we only will tune in.
George Washington Carver
I chatter, chatter, as I flow,
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The Brook
If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day.
Anton Chekhov
Uncle Vanya
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer
Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
Rabindranath Tagore
Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.
George Washington Carver
The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.
Blaise Pascal
The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration.
Claude Monet
Broom out the floor now, lay the fender by,
And plant this bee-sucked bough of woodbine there
And let the window down. The butterfly
Floats in upon the sunbeam, and the fair
Tanned face of June, the nomad gipsy, laughs
Above her widespread wares, the while she tells
The farmers' fortunes in the fields, and quaffs
The water from the spider-peopled wells.
Francis Ledwidge
June
Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral.
John Burroughs
There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and damp.
John Steinbeck
The day I see a leaf is a marvel of a day.
Kenneth Patton
I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers,
From the seas and the streams;
I bear light shade for the leaves when laid
In their noonday dreams.
From my wings are shaken the dews that waken
The sweet buds every one,
When rocked to rest on their mother's breast,
As she dances about the sun.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The Cloud
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Kahlil Gibran
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.
e.e. cummings
The poetry of the earth is never dead.
John Keats
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
William Butler Yeats
The Lake Isle of Innisfree
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Lao Tzu

Family
amilies are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Author Unknown
Family quarrels have a total bitterness unmatched by others. Yet it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of tang, a pleasantness beneath the unpleasantness, based on the tacit understanding that this is not for keeps; that any limb you climb out on will still be there later for you to climb back. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
3. If the family were a fruit, it would be an orange, a circle of sections, held together but separable - each segment distinct. ~Letty Cottin Pogrebin
Important families are like potatoes. The best parts are underground. ---FRANCIS BACON
Every single person has capabilities, abilities and gifts. Living a good life depends on whether those capabilities can be used, abilities expressed and gifts given. If they are, the person will be valued, feel powerful and well-connected to the people around them. And the community around the person will be more powerful because of the contribution the person is making. -----JOHN P. KRETZMANN AND JOHN L. MCKNIGHT
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family. ----THOMAS JEFFERSON
The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended — and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended. ----Robert Frost
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another, the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden. ----- Buddha
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have. ----Ring Lardner
He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too. ----Benjamin Franklin
Of all our social institutions, the family is perhaps the one with which we are most familiar. As we proceed through our lives, our experiences within the family give rise to some of our strongest and most intense feelings. Within the family context lies a paradox, however: although most of us hope for love and support within the family -- a haven in a heartless world, so to speak -- the family can also be a place of violence and abuse. ---MARILYN POOLE
Better a loving single-parent family than a 'conventional' family where the parents hate each other and the father is a demagogue. ----MOBY
The family is both the fundamental unit of society as well as the root of culture. It ... is a perpetual source of encouragement, advocacy, assurance, and emotional refueling that empowers a child to venture with confidence into the greater world and to become all that he can be. -----MARIANNE E. NEIFERT
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish - very gently. ----Chinese Proverb
Our family is a circle of strength and love…
With every birth and every union the circle grows…
Every joy shared adds more love…
Every crisis faced together
makes the circle grow stronger.

Happiness
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Life is a pure flame,
and we live by an invisible sun within us.
Sir Thomas Brown
As I grow to understand life less and less,
I learn to love it more and more.
Jules Renard
