Leif Enger
“He had the heartening bulk of the aging athlete defeated by pastry”
Leif Enger, Virgil Wander

“Bad times! Troublesome times! This, men are saying. [Rather,] let our lives be good, and the times are good. We make our times: Such as we are, such are the times.”
Saint Augustine of Hippo

W.H. Murray
“Find beauty. Be still.”
W.H. Murray, Mountaineering in Scotland / Undiscovered Scotland

Julian of Norwich
“Be a gardener.
Dig a ditch,
toil and sweat
and turn the earth upside down
and seek the deepness
and water the plants in time.
Continue this labor
and make sweet floods to run
and noble and abundant fruits
to spring.
Take this food and drink
and carry it to God
as your true worship.”
Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love

Boethius
“God is eternal; in this judgment all rational beings agree. Let us, then, consider what eternity is. For this word carries with it a revelation alike of the Divine nature and of the Divine knowledge. Now, eternity is the possession of endless life whole and perfect at a single moment. What this is becomes more clear and manifest from a comparison with things temporal. For whatever lives in time is a present proceeding from the past to the future, and there is nothing set in time which can embrace the whole space of its life together. To-morrow's state it grasps not yet, while it has already lost yesterday's; nay, even in the life of to-day ye live no longer than one brief transitory moment. Whatever, therefore, is subject to the condition of time, although, as Aristotle deemed of the world, it never have either beginning or end, and its life be stretched to the whole extent of time's infinity, it yet is not such as rightly to be thought eternal. For it does not include and embrace the whole space of infinite life at once, but has no present hold on things to come, not yet accomplished.”
Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy
