Poems On Time The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth. Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Keep belly lightly loaded, if mind would wisdom seeFor bodies crammed to bursting, make empty souls to be.
Saadi
Image
Wisdom is not about what you know, but how you know it. If knowledge is a measure of the grasp an individual has of a given subject, wisdom is a measure of his grip. Does he hold his ideas lightly or loosely? Will he let go when they show signs of wear or inappropriateness?
Andrew Hargadon

Just as a waterfall grows slower and more lightly suspended as it plunges down, so the great man of action tends to act with greater calmness than his tempestuous desires prior to the deed would lead one to expect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The writers we absorb when we're young bind us to them, sometimes lightly, sometimes with iron. In time, the bonds fall away, but if you look very closely you can sometimes make out the pale white groove of a faded scar, or the telltale chalky red of old rust.
Daniel Mendelsohn
Image
To bear lightly the neck's yoke brings strength but kicking against the goads is the way of failure.
Pindar
Image

We told them this morning and I think they (reacted) like you would expect. It was a surprise and the reality of this is very sobering for everybody. I don't take this lightly at all not at all.
Mike Jackson
Image
That's smart. Once Sonya's able to talk, we'll need to move. He smiled. Sydney's turning into a battle mastermind. Hey, she's not in charge here, I teased. She's just a soldier. Right. He lightly brushed his fingers against my cheek. Sorry, Captain. General, I corrected, catching my breath at that brief touch.

Think lightly of hell, and you will think lightly of the cross. Think little of the sufferings of lost souls, and you will soon think little of the Savior who delivers them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Michael Jordan was blessed by God to play basketball and Roger Brown was the closet person to him I ever saw. I don't say that lightly. Roger was phenomenal. There was nothing he couldn't do. He was so quick he would trick people blind - I even saw him miss layups because he was laughing so hard at what he had just done to someone.
Mel Daniels
Image
I stroke her lightly, memorizing her body. I want her to melt into me, like butter on toast. I want to absorb her and walk around for the rest of my days with her encased in my skin. I lie motionless, savoring the feeling of her body against mine. I'm afraid to breathe in case I break the spell.
Sara Gruen

All are not merry that dance lightly.
George Herbert
Image
I think a lot about writing and I try to read a lot. Being a musician, I don't take the words lightly they are very, very important to me. At the same time, the words have to be musical and have to fit.
