Quote of the Day: Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art." 
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have been blessed in my life to have travelled much of the world. I have seen some of the greatest works of art ever created from Rome to New York to London. But few have taken my breath away like Bernini's Apollo and Daphne pictured above. Incredible, isn't it?

"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point." - C.S. Lewis

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled
(By E. E.
