Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.

Aristotle

Excess on occasion is exhilirating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.

~W. Somerset Maugham

All the gold which is under or upon the earth is not enough to give in exchange for virtue.

Plato

Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Once in a blue moon we catch her singing alone on a night crisp and clear ~ what we see and hear is exquisitely rare ~ we savor her days of beauty ~

~Suzanne Simonovich

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart.

Helen Keller

She’s not an illusion ~ she’s real ~ her galaxy is closer than we think-surreal in blue mystique her homecoming remains within reach ~

~Suzanne Simonovich
