“✓In a garden you can find, quiet thoughts that calm the mind.
✓Every noble achievement is a dream before it is a reality just as the oak is an acorn before it is a tree.
✓Life is like a field, where we must gather what we grow, weed or wheat... this is the law, we reap the crop we sow.
✓Happy is the person who can keep a quiet heart, in the chaos and tumult of this modern world
✓While it is February one can taste the full joys of anticipation. Spring stands at the gate with her finger on the latch”

“Books are Windows of Enchantment - through them we can see - the moving spectacle of life: the farce, the tragedy. Every book a window that reveals the author's mind. Books, books, books ... Oh how we long to know what is behind - the covers of those volumes stacked in neat inviting rows. Comedy, philosophy, fact, fiction, verse and prose.
Magic windows, fling them open! Through them you will view - new horizons, other worlds all beckoning to you ... There are treasures to be found for all who care to look. Comfort, wisdom, knowledge ... in the pages of a book.”
