This magnificent butterfly
finds a little heap of dirt and sits still on it;
but man will never on his heap of mud keep still... Joseph Conrad
Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued,
is always just beyond your grasp, but which,
if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. Nathaniel Hawthorne
An Indian Legend
If anyone desires a wish to come true
they must capture a butterfly and whisper the wish to it.
Since they make not a sound, they can't tell the wish
to anyone but the Great Spirit.
So by making the wish and releasing the butterfly
it will be taken to the heavens and be granted.
How does one become a butterfly?
you must want to fly so much
that you are willing to give up
being a caterpillar
If I have inside of me the stuff to make cocoons,
maybe the stuff of butterflies is there, too. Trina Paulus
To see a world in a grain of sand,
and heaven in a wildflower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour. William Blake
Butterflies are always following me,
everywhere I go. Mariah Carey
