"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."
---Charles Darwin
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state."
-Thomas Jefferson, From a letter to the Danbury Baptist Association to answer a letter from them written in October 1801., January 1, 1802
Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
--Thomas Jefferson
I am still devoted to the garden. But tho' an old man, I am but a young gardener.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Charles Willson Peale, Poplar Forest, August 20, 1811
"Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear."
--Thomas Jefferson
On the subject of Generosity:
"The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose."
-Hada Bejar
THE ROSE
Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a ra...Expand for more
zor, that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower, and you, its only seed
Its the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance
Its the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance
Its the one who wont be taken, the one who cant seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember that in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed, that with the suns love in the spring becomes the rose.
--The Rose, music & lycris by Amanda McBroom".
More about Victoria:"Performed ethnographic research study among Amish of N. E. Indiana. Was involved with Red Cross Disaster Education & Relief efforts for 5 years.
I have the insatiable curiousity of a child and the heart of an explorer. I hope I am still learnering new things right up until the day I die. So with that in mind I think the best way to describe my outlook on life is to share the words of another, because I could say it no better:
Walk in the rain, jump in mud puddles, collect rocks, rainbows and roses, smell flowers, blow bubbles, stop along the way, build sandcastles, say hello to everyone, go barefoot, go on adventures, act silly, fly kites, have a merry heart, talk with animals, sing in the shower, read childrens' books, take bubble baths, get new sneakers, hold hands and hug and kiss, dance, laugh and cry for the health of it, wonder and wander around, feel happy and precious and innocent, feel scared, feel sad, feel mad, give up worry and guilt and shame, say yes, say no, say the magic words, ask lots of questions, ride bicycles, draw and paint, see things differently, fall down and get up again, look at the sky, watch the sun rise and sun set, watch clouds and name their shapes, watch the moon and stars come out, trust the universe, stay up late, climb trees, daydream, do nothing and do it very well, learn new stuff, be excited about everything, be a clown, enjoy having a body, listen to music, find out how things work, make up new rules, tell stories, save the world, make friends with the other kids on the block, and do anything else that brings more happiness, celebration, health, love, joy, creativity, pleasure, abundance, grace, self-esteem, courage, balance, spontaneity, passion, beauty, peace, relaxation, communication and life energy to...all living beings on this planet.
