daily venture

You mind and my heart will never agree until your mind ceases to live in numbers and my heart in the mist.

We shall never understand one another until we reduce the language to seven words.

You are free before the sun of the day, and free before the stars of the night;
And you are free when there is no sun and no moon and no star.

you are even free when you close your eyes upon all there is.
But you are a slave to him whom you love because you love him,
And a slave to him who loves you because he loves you.

This one is my favorate. Tonight I will go to Guangzhou for TOFEL ibt. Maybe after my return, I will go to somewhere and leave lots of great picture too.

This picture is from my friend who just came back from phenix city locaded around by mountains, also the destination of my graduation trip in colledge about two years before. With this picture, those happy days ring the bell. Wish to see it again one day.

A pearl is a temple built by pain around a grain of sand.
What longing built our bodies and around what grains?

When God threw me, a pebble, into this wonderous lake I disturbed its surface with countless circles.
But when I reached the depths I became very still.

Inspiration will alreays sing; inspiration will never explain.

How can you sing if your mouth be filled with food?

How shall your hand be raised in blessing if it is filled with gold?

The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.

We are all climbing toward the summit of our hearts' desire. Should the other climber steal your sack and your purse and wax fat on the one and heavy on the other, you should pity him.

The clibing will be harder for his flesh, and the burden will make his way longer.

And should you in your leanness see his flesh puffing upward, help him a step; it will add to your swiftness.

Every man loves two women: the one is the creation of his imagination, and the other is not yet born.

Men who do not forgive women their little faults will never enjoy their great virtues.

Love that does not renew itself every day becomes a habit and in turn a slavery.

Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.

daily venture

The significance of man is not in what he attains, but rather in what he longs to attain.

Some of us are like ink and some like paper.

And if it were not for the blackness of some of us, some of us would be dumb;

And if it were not for the whiteness of some of us, some of us would be blind.

children

You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in  your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you, for life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
