"May you live all the days of your life." (--Jonathan Swift)

Here's to friends both near and far;
Here's to woman, man's guiding star;
Here's to friends we've yet to meet,
Here's to those here, all here I greet;
Here's to childhood, youth, old age;
Here's to prophet, bard and sage,
Here's a health to every one,
Peace on earth, and heaven won!

(--Unknown)

Such a lovely painting! and the most fabulous quote from Swift! I often find that I want to save your quotes somewhere; they're all so great! I'm definitely going to copy this one into my journal.
