Josh Billings: “Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.”
Oprah Winfrey: “The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.”
Emmet Fox: “There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; no disease that enough love will not heal; no door that enough love will not open.”
Betty White: “We laugh a lot. That’s for sure. Sure beats the alternative, doesn’t it?”
Ken Kesey: “Take what you can use and let the rest go by.”
Alan Saporta: “The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it.”
Thomas Jefferson: “If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.”
La Fontaine: “Beware so long as you live, of judging people by appearances.”
Julie A., M.A. Ross and Judy Corcoran: “When children feel they have to earn our love by what they accomplish, they never feel good about themselves, no matter how much they do, no matter what their age. Indeed, some adults work outrageous hours, make huge salaries, and always strive to accomplish more and yet are never satisfied, no matter what they have achieved. This is because they were never given the free, unconditional love of their parents, the love that is every child’s birthright.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupery: “He who would travel happily must travel light.”

A first time for me, this afternoon, *very* close to home…ELG på veien!! (or MOOSE (North America) / ELK (EurAsia) on the road!! 🙂 )
These pictures are taken right where I exit the ‘main road’ for the small sand road at which I live, pretty pretty close to home!
Ha, this also shows that while I normally answer ‘Oslo’ when non-Norwegians ask me where in Norway I live, I do live *outside* of Oslo! 🙂
Franklin D. Roosevelt: “Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.”
Cicero: “When you wish to instruct, be brief; that men’s minds take in quickly what you say, learn its lesson, and retain it faithfully. Every word that is unnecessary only pours over the side of a brimming mind.”
Kathy Sierra: “We are all human, and caring about the way something looks and feels does not mean we’re superficial–it means we’re human. We don’t need to exploit sex to recognize that a certain amount of sexiness is both pleasurable and natural.”
Michael Patrick King: “Seasons change, so do cities. People come into your life and people go, but it’s comforting to know: the ones you love are always in your heart and if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.”
Albert Einstein: “We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.”
