"May your trails ...."

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.

Edward Abbey

"My soul can find no staircase ...."

My soul can find no staircase to Heaven unless it be through Earth's loveliness.

Michelangelo

"Doubt thou ...."

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

"Good for the body ...."

Good for the body is the work of the body, good for the soul the work of the soul, and good for either the work of the other.

Henry David Thoreau

"Blessed are the flexible ...."

“Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.”

"Being happy ...."

“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

"In times of joy ...."

In times of joy, all of us wished we possessed a tail we could wag.

W H Auden

"If thou remember'st not ...."

"If thou remember'st not the slightest folly
That ever love did make thee run into,
Thou hast not loved."

"The least of things with a meaning ...."

The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.

Carl Jung

"What more do you want ...."

What more do you want, o soul!  And what else do you search for outside, when within yourself you possess your riches, delights, satisfaction and kingdom – your beloved whom you desire and see?

St John of the Cross
