More quotes by Gladys Taber
Long cold nights mark November's return, grey rains fall, wind walks in the bronze oak leaves.
Gladys Taber
After all, catching something is purely a by-product of our fishing. It is the act of fishing that wipes away all grief, lightens all worry, dissolves fear and anxiety.
Gladys Taber
Happiness of heart can never be measured out and bundled up, it's intangible. We keep running after it, grasping for it, and the heat of our running so seldom brings it closer. But now and then there may be a moment. We look at something and know it is good and beautiful. Those moments are happiness.
Gladys Taber
the real evidence of growing older is that things level off in importance ... Days are no longer jagged peaks to climb time is a meadow, and we move over it with level steps.
Gladys Taber
Perhaps, after all, our best thoughts come when we are alone. It is good to listen, not to voices but to the wind blowing, to the brook running cool over polished stones, to bees drowsy with the weight of pollen. If we attend to the music of the earth, we reach serenity. And then, in some unexplained way, we share it with others.
Gladys Taber
I cannot imagine a cat in an Obedience ring, running around in the hot sun and doing things on command. For it would not make sense. Whereas a dog is tolerant of your not making sense and only wants to fix things so you are happy.

History records the large events or the general condition of society, but only an individual can put down the way of life in a small town.
Gladys Taber
Pride may go before a fall, but jealousy goes before destruction.
Gladys Taber
Nothing makes a house cozier than cats.
Gladys Taber
There must be hundreds of unsung heroes and heroines who first tasted strange things growing - and think of the man who first ate a lobster. This staggers the imagination. I salute him every time I take my nutcracker in hand and move the melted-butter pipkin closer.
Gladys Taber
the tentacles of today reach out like an octopus to swallow yesterday.
Gladys Taber
June in New England is like a lover's dream made tangible.
Gladys Taber
Dog lovers are a good breed themselves.
Gladys Taber
Christmas is a bridge. We need bridges as the river of time flows past.
Gladys Taber
Old houses, I thought, do not belong to people ever, not really, people belong to them.
Gladys Taber
Most cats feel that bird-catching is their duty the instinct goes back to prehistoric times. Amber keeps in practice by chasing moths.
Gladys Taber
A good recipe for a human reducing breakfast is a lot of good things to eat, and three spaniels and two cats to eat with.
Gladys Taber
The curious thing about fishing is you never want to go home. If you catch something, you can't stop. If you don't catch anything, you hate to leave in case something might bite.
Gladys Taber
Life is a process of discovery, of new perceptions.
Gladys Taber
My own recipe for world peace is a bit of land for everyone.
