Simple Things

"It is the sweet, 

simple things of 
life which are 
the real ones
after all."
~Laura Ingalls Wilder

"To find the universal 

elements enough;to
find the air and the
water exhilarating;
to be refreshed
by a morning walk or
an evening saunter...
to be thrilled by the
stars at night; to be
elated over a bird's
nest or a wildflower
in spring- these are
some of the rewards
of the simple life."  

~John Burroughs

"The best things in life 

are nearest:Breath in your 

nostrils, light in your eyes, 

flowers at your feet, duties 

at your hand, the path of right 

just before you. Then do not grasp 

at the stars, but do life's plain, 

common work as it comes, certain 

that daily duties and daily 
bread are the sweetest
things in life."  

~Robert Louis Stevenson
