Free Vintage Clipart for Collage, Scrapbooking or Papercrafts: Gone Fishing, 1893

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
― John Lubbock, The Use Of Life

Four be the things I am wiser to know:
Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.
Four be the things I'd been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.
― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

There will be pleasure after the pain.

Free Vintage Clipart for Collage, Scrapbooking or Papercrafts: A Summer Walk, 1904

Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.
― Henry James

All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world.
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams
