Things I’ve read and liked

Half way up the stairs, is a stair where I sit.
There isn’t any other stair quite like it.
Its not at the bottom and its not at the top.
But this is the stair where I always stop. (AA Milne)

If you love something set it free
If it comes back to you
It’s yours
If it doesn’t
It never was.

On ne voit bien qu’avec le coeur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. (Le Petit Prince, St Exupery)

I know the title of this page is Things I’ve read and liked, but this is something I saw and liked:

Simon’s Cat: Cat Man Do

Promise only what you can deliver.  Then deliver more than you promise.

“It’s snowing still,” said Eeyore gloomily.  “So it is.” “And freezing.”  “Is it?”  “Yes,” said Eeyore.  “However,” he said, brightening up a little, “we haven’t had an earthquake lately.” (A.A. Milne)

Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they’re looking for ideas.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainty that just to be alive is a grand thing. (Agatha Christie)

Dance like there’s nobody watching
Love like you’ll never get hurt
Sing like there’s nobody listening
Live like it’s heaven on earth
And speak from the heart to be heard.

Just another diamond day
Just a blade of grass
Just another bale of hay
And the horses pass.

Just another field to plough
Just a grain of wheat
Just a sack of seed to sow
And the children eat.

Just another life to live
Just a word to say
Just another love to give
And a diamond day
