My Solitude is my Treasure, the best thing I have. I hesitate to go out. If you opened the little gate, I would not hop away–but oh how I sing in my gold cage.

About This Quote

When a person is alone, they have a lot of time to think and reflect on what life has to offer. They can also spend a great deal of time just being themselves. The greatest gift that one can give to themselves is the gift of being alone. There is no better gift than spending time with yourself and being able to express yourself. A person who is alone will be able to do so freely and without any guilt or shame.
