I received an email which had in it the first quote above, without attribution. Curious to know whose quote it was, I discovered Anatole France.

He was born Jacques Anatole Thibault and wrote under the pseudonym Anatole France. He wrote numerous novels, short stories, and his later nonfiction work was The Life of Joan of Arc. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. His works are still available.

In relationship to the last quote, we bring into our lives the concepts and the feelings we focus upon. We might as well then focus on the best and highest possible versions of our selves, and they shall come to be.
Its fun looking into the minds of authors like these. Thank you.
Hi Bernie,
Yes, it is fun seeing what others have written, especially those from the past. The words of the 19th century writers were so rich and full of wisdom.
And you are correct about what we should focus on....
thanks for sharing...
