"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” ~ Helen Keller
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” ~ Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
"How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew!" ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson.
