The art of relaxation---
"Walk in the rhythm of life;
Your limbs will not tire.
Sing with the rhythm of life;
Your voice will gain sweetness.
Dance in the rhythm of life;
Your feet will not touch the ground.
Breathe in rhythm.
Think in rhythm.
Talk in rhythm.
Sing in rhythm.
Dance in rhythm.
Let rhythmic be your life."
We spend most of our time and energy in a kind of horizontal thinking. We move along the surface of things [but] there are times when we stop. We sit still. We lose ourselves in a pile of leaves or its memory. We listen and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.
James Carroll
Never lose sight of this important truth, that no one can be truly great until he has gained a knowledge of himself, a knowledge which can only be acquired by occasional retirement. Johann Georg von Zimmermann
"Some people, like the bee, seem to find honey in every flower, while others, like the spider, carry only poison away. One finds happiness everywhere and on every occasion, while another seems to be continually returning from a funeral."
Can anyone think of more?
