caring

Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or doing it better.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

And ever against eating cares Lap me in soft Lydian airs, Married to immortal verse,

If the heart of a man is depressed with cares, The mist is dispelled when a woman appears.

How blessed is he, who leads a country life, Unvex'd with anxious cares, and void of strife! Who studying peace, and shunning civil rage, Enjoy'd his youth, and now enjoys his age: All who deserve his love, he makes his own; And, to be lov'd himself, needs only to be known.

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.

Toughness is a valuable human attribute. The nourishing person can be very tough when the need arises, but he can do so without losing his warm, caring, and loving qualities.

Far from mortal cares retreating, Sordid hopes and vain desires, Here, our willing footsteps meeting, Every heart to heaven aspires.

Oh, the world's a curious compound, with its honey and its gall, With its cares and bitter crosses, but a good world after all. An' a good God must have made it-leastways, that is what I say, When a hand is on my shoulder in a friendly sort o'way.

And this the burden of his song Forever used to be,- I care for nobody, no, not I, If no one cares for me.
