Quotes to Ponder and Beauty to Behold

Posted in Inspirational





A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry,

And see a fine picture every day of his life,
In order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of beautiful
Which God has implanted in the human soul.
                        ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe






If you treat a man as he is,
He'll stay as he is,
But if you treat him as if he were
What he ought to be, and could be,
He will become the bigger and better man.
                       ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe






The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be
seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

                            ~Helen Keller




God's best gifts put man's best dreams to shame.
                  ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning





May I a small house and large garden have;
And a few friends, and many books, both true,
Both wise, and both delightful too!
               ~Abraham Cowley

I'm a very happily married pastor's wife, former schoolteacher-turned-homeschool mom of six wonderful blessings, and freelance writer--and we live in the great state of Georgia! I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
