Polls, friends, art museums & the green
Politics is the art
of preventing people from sticking their noses in things that are properly their business.
~ Paul Valery
The art and science of a spring break road trip
It's a mad, mad, mad,
mad man's world,
but the ladies
invaded it anyway,
and gave
Does and Bucks
new meaning.
Friends make us fuller.
When friends leave, their light stays behind.
It is like the blue sea
that supports the white breakers
that come and go.
No matter how far I go
I long to return and be with friends.
It is never the same fire I left,
but beneath it are the ashes
of all our meetings that have gone before.
— Robert Sund
The glory of friendship
is not the outstretched hand,
nor the kindly smile,
nor the joy of companionship;
it is the spiritual inspiration
that comes to one
when you discover that
someone else believes in you
and is willing to trust you
with a friendship.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
The friendships we develop
determine the quality
of our own souls.
— Joan Chittister, OSB
Remember the great
adversity of art
or anything else
is a hurried life.
— Robert James Waller
