Delacroix (4-15-1853): Oh, geniuses inspired in all the arts who draw from things shown in the mind! Beethoven (4-12-1811): Have you heard all my great works?— compared with the works of the Supreme Creator, all things are small. Emerson (4-1802): Bluebirds don't complain, blackbirds make the maples ring with cheer... Besides the snowflake is freedom's star. Thoreau (4-15-1855): Sound of church bells— very sweet to us— song of the villages heard with song of the birds. John Muir (4-13-1870): Spring days, bright in every hour, came in glorious colors... Every tree and weed bloomed yet once more. James Joyce (4-16-1927): Simplicity. I am making an engine with only one wheel. No spokes of course. The wheel is a perfect square. Albert Einstein (4-9-1947, 4-12-1949): Good acts are like good poems... I simply enjoy giving more than receiving. Ramana Maharsi (4-15-1937): The realized sage declares that the waking world is unreal as the dream world. Helen Luke (4-15-1984): Only "prayer" can save— not the ego's prayer but the prayer of the "other", the "exchange" of crucified Self. Walt Whitman (4-15 & 4-16-1888): I'm going up for tea— you will be there? Don't give up modesty, honesty, generosity. Emily Dickinson (4-15-1862, 4-15-1875): Tell me what is true? if my Verse is alive? I have only a buttercup to offer.         — Peter Y.
