39 Inspiring Mark Nepo Quotes

I came to this earth so that I could find my way back to my Beloved.

And the wind plays on those great sonorous harps, the shrouds and masts of ships.

I’ve had rainbows in my clouds. Explain

A rocket is an experiment; a star is an observation.

And let to-day embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.

The greater person is one of courtesy.

We love in others what we lack ourselves, and would be everything but what we are.

Virture offers the only path in this life that leads to tranquility.

In time there is no present, In eternity no future, In eternity no past.

Don’t bite till you know if it’s bread or stone.
