Vintage Outdoor Graphic for Altered Art, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Two Ladies Outdoors 4

An acquaintance merely enjoys your company,
a fair-weather companion flatters when all is well,
a true friend has your best interests at heart
and the pluck to tell you what you need to hear.
― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly

Vintage Art Appreciation: Children in the Garden by Władysław Podkowiński

No matter the state of the world,
or how dark the shadow that has fallen on our city,
I find it curiously comforting to know that if you plant a seed
and give it sunlight and water, it will grow.
― Sarah Jio, All the Flowers in Paris

Vintage Outdoor Graphic for Altered Art, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Lady Feeding Birds in the Field

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside,
somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be
and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will,
I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow,
whatever the circumstances may be.
And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.
― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
