Serenity and Inner Peace
Albert Einstein
I am content in my later years. I have kept my good humor and take neither myself nor the next person seriously.
Oscar Wilde
It is through Art, and through Art only, that we can realise our perfection; through Art, and through Art only, that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.
Teresa de Ávila
Let nothing trouble you, nothing frighten you. All things are passing; God never changes. Patient endurance attains all things. Whoever possesses God lacks nothing: God alone suffices.
Henri Matisse
What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter … a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.
Charles Lamb
Nothing puzzles me more than time and space; and yet nothing troubles me less, as I never think about them.
Helen Keller
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
Willa Cather
I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do.
