Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Smiling always with a never fading serenity of countenance, and flourishing in an immortal youth.
A good thing never ends.
What is beautiful is a joy for all seasons.
Surely something resides in this heart that is not perishable - and life is more than a dream.
My yearning is my cup, my burning thirst is my drink, and my solitude is my intoxication; I do not and shall not quench my thirst. But in this burning that is never extinguished is a joy that never wanes.
There are moments of life that we never forget, which brighten and brighten as time steals away.
I think that if my kids are completely convinced of God's unfailing love for them, whether they fail or not, they'll have confidence to persevere in life.
Paint here no draped despairs, no saddening clouds, Where the soul rests, proclaims eternity. But let the wrong cry out as raw as wounds, This Time forgets and never heals, far less transcends.
Whatever we perceive as good in the world has always endured, and it always will.
It was that impossible thing: happiness that does not wilt to reveal the thin shoots of some new desire rising from within it.
