Words of Wisdom Of the Day # 275

“If we had not winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”

~Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672)

Words of Wisdom Of the Day # 175

Spring has its hundred flowers
Autumn its moon,
Summer has its cooling breeze,
Winter its snow.
If you allow no idle concerns
to weight on your heart,
Your whole life will be one
Perennial good season.

~ The Golden Age of Zen
