a small key



“The key to your universe is that you can choose.” ~ Frederick (Carl) Frieseke
“In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
“A small key opens big doors.” ~ Turkish Proverb

  2. Keys are very magical. Thanks for posting those two great quotes. I use them in my work all the time. I'm always wondering who used the keys and what door they did indeed open.

  9. Wise words indeed. This reminds me, I've recently found a key ring loaded with vintage keys; need to use them in some projects.
