Edith Wharton (Novelist) - On This Day

There are two ways of spreading light:  to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.     Edith Wharton

(I think this a wonderfully true sentiment.  I would say that it’s probably more difficult to be “the candle”.  I think it takes much more courage, confidence and conviction to be the candle, and those folks are a special breed.  But we all have the ability to be the mirror of the candle.  We should all work to accentuate the positive.  Optimism begets optimism.  We can all do our part to eliminate – or at least suppress – negativity.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Beware of monotony; it’s the mother of all the deadly sins.”   —   Edith Wharton

If only we’d stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.”   —   Edith Wharton

(Whenever anything is difficult to find it’s best to stop looking, and get on with things.  Chances are excellent that you’ll run into it anyway.  Preconceptions and ideals can be very limiting.  Don’t let them weigh you down.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

I don’t know if I should care for a man who made life easy.  I should want someone who made it interesting.”   —   Edith Wharton

My little old dog:  A heartbeat at my feet.”   — Edith Wharton

(I’ll add Edith Wharton to my list of authors whom I need to get around to reading.  Seems you can’t be a credible literary snob without having read her.  Damn my sub-vocal reading skills!)   — YUR
