Grant yourself a moment of peace, and you will understand how foolishly you have scurried about. Learn to be silent, and you will notice that you have talked too much. Be kind, and you will realize that your judgment of others was too severe. Hasten slowly, and you will soon arrive.

Ancient Chinese proverb (via cherpeace)

(via underthecarolinamoon)

There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory that states that this has already happened.

Douglas Adams (via man-and-camera)

(via man-and-camera)

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those whose wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

-

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
