Home! Sweet Home! by John Howard Payne
‘Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home; A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there, Which, seek thro’ the world, is never met with elsewhere. Home, home, sweet, sweet home! There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home! An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain; Oh! give me my lowly thatched cottage again! The birds singing...

"Leisure" by William Henry Davies
What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty’s glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait...

"India" by Rabindranath Tagore
INDIA, thou hast taught kings to lay down Crown, sceptre, throne and kingdom And put on the clothing of the poor. Thou hast taught warriors in lawful battle, To forgive an enemy times out of number, To hold back the drawn arrow, forgetful Of victory and defeat, thou hast taught doer To surrender to God all triumph of achievement. Thou hast taught the householder to enlarge the home, To neighbor,...

– Aristotle (via gottfried)
side comment: The first quality mentioned in the Bhagvad Gita’s 16th Chapter is abhayam, or fearlessness. I’m glad Aristotle and Krishna agree.
