Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought. Our brightest blazes are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks. ~ Samuel Johnson 
Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent. 
We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand... and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ~John Burroughs
Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home. ~Edith Sitwell 
A snowflake is one of God's most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together! ~Unknown
