"Winter Blues" by Joan Brault
To pursue a means to an end, only to become satisfied with the means. A definition of underachievement? Or a definition of happiness!
Parenting, too, is an art form -- its masterpiece being a child of confident self-esteem, although the artist's hand must be unsuspected, the masterpiece unsigned.
Robert Brault
The thing about a garden, in contrast to so many other things you lavish attention upon, is that you can earn its love.
The problem I find with material possessions is that their eyes don't light up when you walk through the front door.
A lasting marriage is an everyday friendship, love standing by for the occasional emergency.

What would I appreciate to mark by passing? Perhaps a brief memorial and a small reception afterwards where people remark on how good the squash casserole is.
Robert Brault
Shall I spend my life pushing a boulder uphill so that once uphill I will have a boulder to sit on while lamenting my life?
