Friday Words of Inspiration:
To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded! - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Kristine thank you for sharing your words of wisdom and the beautiful picture. Happy Good Friday.
Incredible photo, awesome quote.
Great way to start this day today.
Thanks for the post Kristine.
Kristine- a beautiful inspiration to accompany an even prettier photo by an inspiring ActiveRainer!
Thank you everyone for your kind comments - AR's been down and I haven't been to log on so now that I can - a BIG THANK YOU!
While reading that quote I started thinking that a lot of the 'old wisdom' of the traditional written word has probably been lost in the crush of online content. Thanks for giving Emerson's words a beautiful spotlight.
hi hi hi....so good to be able to comment; I was going to comment on the newbie post...but my word 251 comments!! So...to echo John, beautiful saying and beautiful picture !
Ah Kristine! This is one of my favorite quotes and what a perfect picture to go with it! (To appreciate beauty) Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter!!
Another gorgeous photo! And LOVE the Emerson quote! Have a GREAT weekend Kristine!!
p.s.....thanks for all your help this week!!!
Kristine, amazing picture. I could just stand there, by the water, and feel completely at peace. Very inspiring quote too. Emerson is among my favorite inspirational writers. Have a great evening.
Hi Kristine.
Inspirational messages are wonderful especially when you add photos. To me they serve a great purpose here in the Rain and help you attract those readers that have the same values. When those values are added to each other, they create great strength.
Kristine, Nice inspirational Good Friday message. I just got back form a Good Friday service. Our pastor went over the 8 statements Christ made on the cross. I had no idea he made that many statements.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments and I'm so glad that Emerson's word inspired many people - he is one of the great Transcendentalism poets and philosophers the 19th century and many of his ideas have stood the test of time and still apply today!
For any Emerson fans I highly suggest the book: Stelected Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson - very inspiration and enlighten book!
