Richard Livingstone Quotes

The young, whether they know it or not, live on borrowed property Picture Quote #1

Our danger is not too few, but too many options... to be puzzled by innumerable alternatives Picture Quote #1

There are few greater treasures to be acquired in youth than great poetry-and prose-stored in the memory. At the time one may resent the labor of storing. But they sleep in the memory and awake in later years, illuminated by life and illuminating it Picture Quote #1
