take your time

yesterday chelsie and i took a tour of the Pabst mansion. it was incredible (i highly recommend going to see it!) and although the whole house was beautiful, the captain’s study was my favorite. The walls and ceiling were all beautifully carved wood, and on each of the 4 walls these quote were written in German:

Learn/A feeling heart suffers pain

Strive/Bread eaten with thanks inspires a joyful heart

Honor/Never have I found on earth anything more priceless than a true heart and a quiet mouth

Wait/Never soft, never loud what a friend confides in you.
