If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

Thomas Fuller

We ought to hear at least one little song every day, read a good poem, see a first-rate painting, and if possible speak a few sensible words.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.  The longer I live the more my mind dwells upon the beauty and the wonder of the world.

John Burroughs

. . . encourage one another daily, as long as it is Today. . .

Hebrews 3:13

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word.  Thank you for all this day holds – the sights, the sounds, the taste, the touch and the joy of learning.  Thank you for the beauty and wonder of the world that I may grow in knowledge and wisdom, music and art, nature and science, not only today, but tomorrow.  Help me not to waste my time, but to find new and different ways to learn each and every minute and to share this knowledge with others.  Amen.
