Begin at the Beginning

"Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop." ~Lewis Carrol, Alice in Wonderland

I am not an Alice in Wonderland fan.  I really don't like the story at all but I do like this quote.

The Sweetest Things

"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into." ~Henry Ward Beecher

The Moon

"The moon is at her full, and riding high, floods the calm fields with light. The airs that hover in the summer sky are all asleep tonight."
~William Cullen Bryant

Loveliest of Lovely Things

"Loveliest of lovely things are they On earth that soonest pass away. The rose that lives its little hour Is prized beyond the sculptured flower."  ~William Cullen Bryant

Horses

"Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again."
~Stanley Harrison
