The Sayings of Buddha

"Se vc pensa que a melhor maneira de atingir o coraçao de um homem é pelo estômago, saiba que está mirando muito alto..."
"If you think the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach, think again because you're looking too high..." *
*
"Crianças no banco dianteiro podem causar acidentes. Acidentes no banco traseiro podem causar crianças."
"Children on the front seat can lead to accidents. Accidents on the rear seat can lead to children."
*
*
"Viva cada dia como se fosse o ultimo. Um dia vc acerta."
"Live each day as if it were your last. One day it will be."
*
*
"Todas as pessoas inteligentes sao cheias de duvidas! (eu acho)"
"All intelligent people are full of doubts! (I think)"
*
*

"Mulheres sao como piscinas: O seu custo de manutençao é muito elevado se comparado ao tempo que passamos dentro delas."

"Women are like swimming-pools: The cost of their upkeep is very high compared to the time we spend in them."
*
*

"Ainda estou refletindo... daqui á pouco falo algo muito sabio..."

"I'm still reflecting... in a while I'll come up with something very wise..."

"Se tudo o que é bom dura pouco, eu ja deveria ter morrido há muito tempo!"

"If everything that's good lasts only a short time, I should've died long ago!" *

* "O seu futuro depende de seus sonhos. Nao perca tempo, vá dormir!"

"Your future depends on your dreams, so don't waste any time, go to bed!"

Well, there you have it, folks! Such wise sayings to live by. And we can't have enough of them, can we? Buddha certainly knew a thing or two, the old rogue! And no doubt those worry-beads he's twiddling in his sweaty little mitts must help him concentrate and inspire him. In fact, I'm thinking of getting some for myself !

Winter Hues in Stained Glass
As the nights grow longer and the days grow shorter, the cold begins to tighten its grip.

The Fair Ophelia

Ophelia, thou fairest of maidens, what beholdest thou in thy reflection?

Autumn colours - As cores de Outono

Autumn colours - As cores de Outono
Trees in their multicoloured autumnal apparel, a kaleidescope of hues and shades.
