"The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"Men are tattooed with their special beliefs like so many South Sea Islanders; but a real human heart with divine love in it beats with the same glow under all the patterns of all earth'[s thousand tribes."

Great quotes!
I especially like the Coleridge quote.
Very nice quotes, I particularly like the third one: "The happiness of life ..."
My brain is a little slow this morning and I had to read each one twice to catch the meaning. Good quotes -- as always Judy.
Those are great quotes. Thanks for a good way to start the day.
Hi Judy. Those quotes were a little more profound than your usual chuckles...I've just returned home from a long trip and am not rested enough to appreciate them !
Someday I am going to make up a quote that everybody will have on the tiptoe of their lips. I am going to do this one word at a time, like, the first word is "Shakespeare..." Then I'll just roll on from there.
Good quotes to live by :)
Enjoyed as I always do.
Let's hear it for Santayana!
