“Religion is a candle inside a multicolored lantern.
Everyone looks through a particular color,
but the candle is always there.”

I kicked candy and now seem to be stuck with quotations, which are attacking my brain instead of my teeth :-)

Taken for Caturday theme quotations. The quote is: When you wake up each morning, you can choose to be happy or choose to be sad. Unless some terrible catastrophe has occurred the night before, it is pretty much up to you. Tomorrow morning, when the sun shines through your window, choose to make it a happy day. Lynda Resnick
You come across an old typewriter, perhaps in a junk shop. No-one else is around. You have an opportunity to type a few words on the paper, anonymously. What will you write?
"..because nothing makes me happier
and nothing makes me sadder than you.."

"Give yourself a gift: the present moment."
Marcus Aurelius
While walking along the road, I noticed the smallest flowers bending in the breeze. The whole plant was no larger than my smallest finger. I was stunned to see the beauty of its form once it was at eye level.
The older I become, the more I appreciate not only the rich beauty of our natural world, but also the wise words of philosophers such as Marcus Aurelius. An appreciation of our time spent on this Earth is often overlooked in the search for more exciting moments. Thus I offer this tiny flower and some wise words to take you through the day.
"My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias."
William Allen White
Whenever I link a quotation to one of my images, I am compelled to learn about the author of said quote. If you are interested in such things, you might want to know this about the author...
"William Allen White (February 10, 1868 – January 29, 1944) was an American newspaper editor, politician, author, and leader of the Progressive movement. Between 1896 and his death, White became a spokesman for middle America.
At a 1937 banquet held in his honor by the Kansas Editorial Association, he was called "the most loved and most distinguished member" of the Kansas press."

“Two bubbles found they had rainbows on their curves.
They flickered out saying:
"It was worth being a bubble, just to have held that rainbow thirty seconds.”
― Carl Sandburg
Quotation from, 'On seeing the graves of the forty-seven rônin at Sengakuji Temple' Anon.
Better viewed large
The face of the Olympian Hermes. Just a tiny part of the whole statue. The other parts, represented by Fujifilm boxes, you have to visualise yourself or, since his image is scattered over the world-wide web, you can look it up. Here, I am offering just a visual quotation. It refers to something larger and, at the end of the day, to a long narrative which, in itself, is invisible.
Fujifilm X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 (wide-open).
Happy Caturday 11.8.2018 "Quotations"
Neighbours Snoop dines like a real gentleman
"Dinner for one" is the most played skizze in german TV - no silvester without it:-)
It was listed in 1988 in the Guinness Book of Records as "the world's most frequently repeated television production".
— Robert A. Heinlein. (I'm not a science fiction geek, but the quote fits.)
Sprocket, with Shutter in the background, no ordinary felines themselves.
A quotation from Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821) - who probably knew a thing or two about courage.
Texture from Cheryl Tarrant. Thank you.
When you're not being able to do much there's always technology to make you have a dialogue with your many florals, which I did yesterday. Many quotes spring to mind, but I chose this one.
"The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and harmonious tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs to him" ~ August Rodin
For Poetography group: Some topics speak to me more than others and this week is a good example. Our word is leaf, or leaves.
They started cutting down the forest behind our house yesterday to build homes. I hoped this wouldn't happen too soon even though we were told to anticipate it. It's still tough.
“Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.”
~ Rabindranath Tagore
"Camouflage is a game we all like to play,
but our secrets are as surely revealed
by what we want to seem to be
as by what we want to conceal."
~ Russell Lynes ~
Interesting, I had no idea who was famous for this quotation until
I looked up Russell Lynes in Wikipedia and discovered
he was "an American art historian, photographer, author and managing editor of Harper's Magazine."
You learn something new every day!
Getting so old, so weak, barely peek
Yet beautiful still, until, the next fill
For a generation, a whole celebration,

Love grows when we work at it.
Love overlooks a multitudes of faults.
Love will bring us together.
Love finds away to get together.
Love will keep us together.

I come across another funny Quotation on FaceBook and wanted to share this with you all. Have a fantastic day, everyone!
Bulbs with quotation.
(No tengo ningún miedo a ganar la Primitiva, y si es con bote, menos. Mi familia y amigos se iban a enterar, a pesar de Hacienda).
Hahahaha! Came across this quotation today and just couldn't resist.
"Everybody winds up kissing the wrong person good night." --Andy Warhol (1928-1987)
Fun Fact Du Jour: So I've been told that I have really nice lips. Okay...won't complain about that compliment. ;) Typically, I'm not one to wear intense colors but we are coming upon the holiday season ya know. And I like shaking things up with red lips and red nails. Funny thing though...both end up transferring the red pigment in some manner. Well no mas!!! I have found the perfect "lipstick."
It's actually a lip stain of some sort that remains on throughout the entire day and will not rub off. You just need to touch up the clear gloss which is on par to wearing Chapstick. I'm not one to trust these claims too easily, but guess what?!? After a trial run today and some determined experimentation--not gonna kiss and tell--it would seem that this stuff does in fact stay on. Who would've thunk?!? FYI Flickr Divas, I'm wearing Cranberry LipSense® by SeneGence®. Tiaras Up! And now, nighty night, do enjoy this fave: ♫ blip.fm/~bx226
PPS...the asterisk was created using the Chiller typeface. Love typography.
"Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth."
— George Orwell ("1984")
...posted, the morning after the presidential election, upon pondering the horrors to be inflicted upon the United States of America in the months to come.

on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on."
~~ Carl Sandburg
