An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast, a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.
"Bring it On". Kuzko and Pacha were tied to a log, headed down a river.
(I'm paraphrasing here)
Kuzko:"I bet there is a giant waterfall up ahead"
Pacha "No doubt"
K: "With Jagged rocks at the bottom"
P: "Yep"
K: "And we'll meet a certain death".
P: "Yep".
K: "Bring it on".
Whenever I am up against a challenge, I think of Kuzko's calm and cool way of saying, "Bring it on"
But if we are truly happy inside, then age brings with it a maturity, a depth, and a power that only magnifies our radiance.
But tell them that we have some good in us, too. And the only thing worth living for is the good. That's why we've got to make sure we pass it on.
Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better.
"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth." -Mark Twain
"Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds." Albert Einstein
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power then the world will know peace." Jimi Hendrix
"Do more than exist, live.
Do more than touch, feel.
Do more than look, observe.
Do more than read, absord.
Do more than hear, listen.
Do more than listen, understand.
Do more than think, ponder.
Do more than talk, say something."
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened.
Don't Laugh At Some Else's Dreams, Because People Without Dreams Don't Have Much.
Don't miss the magic of the moment by focusing on whats to come
"Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door".
Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer.
Every man dies but not every man really lives.
EVERY MAN'S LIFE IS A FAIRYTALE - WRITTEN BY GOD'S FINGERS.

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
Go confidently in the directions of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life.
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.
He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.
Here in the dark, I stand before you, knowing this is my chance to show you my heart.
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
I am not what happened to me; I am what I choose to become.
I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you learn to appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself...and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
I don't mind tears falling from my eyes now...because for certain these are tears of happiness, a reward from yesterdays woes.
I try t take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.
Idealism is what precedes experience; cynicism is what follows.
If it is to be.....It is up to me!
If it is your Karma, it will happen.
If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got.
"It is always better to recognize what you don't know and not pretend you can understand what you can't about another person, another race, another life experience.”
It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.
It is difficult to calculate the value of an experience.
It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height.
It's not what we do, but who we become that changes the world.
It's the little moments that make life big.
It’s a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet, and what is sand.
Just living is not enough," said the butterfly. "One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.
Keep in mind that no matter how cute and sexy a guy is, there's always some woman somewhere who's sick of him.
Laugh as much as you breath and love as long as you live
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Life is just a chance to grow a soul
Life is NOT going to live itself
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away
Life is truly a ride. We're all strapped in, and no one can stop it. As you make each passage from youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes you put your arms up and scream, sometimes you just hang on to that bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end of life is that your hair's messed, you're out of breath, and you didn't throw up.
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass... it’s about getting out there and dancing in the rain!
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Live life fully or don't live life at all.
"Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn.
Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is."

Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?"

Many things in life will catch your eye, but only a few will capture your heart - follow those.
Memories are and always will be forever
My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
Nature has always something rare to show us....and the danger to life and limb is hardly greater than one would experience crouching deprecatingly beneath a roof.
Never miss a good opportunity to shut-up-a-ya-mouth!
Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
One thing good about Yesterday is I can laugh about it today
Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
Pain is weakness leaving the body
"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost."
-H. Jackson Brown, Jr
Pride goeth before a fall.
Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.
She was the kind of old woman who looked as if she would outlive everyone - she had the manner of someone used to looking after those less able than she.
"Simply put, you believe that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy.”
Some birds aren't meant to be caged; their feathers are just too bright.
"Some days I just have to laugh at myself".
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay for a while leaving footprints on our hearts, and we are forever changed.
Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts.
Temptation are seen at a distance never near
That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet
The best and most beautiful things can not be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.
The better part of one's life consists of his friendships.
"The course of true love never did run smooth."
~ Lysander, Midsummer Night's Dream
The era we are living in today is a dream of coming true.
The finish line is just the beginning of a whole new race.
The hardest part in life is when you have to lie to yourself
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am...
The only reward for love is the experience of loving.
The only thing you take with you when you're gone is what you leave behind.
The pleasure you get from life is equal to the attitude you put into it
The richness of the human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome.
The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.
The very act of creating a work of art breathes life into one's soul, and causes one to feel but a small part of God.
There are millions of people out there, but in the end it all comes down to one. I still panic sometimes, forget to breathe, but I know there's something beautiful in all my imperfections. A beauty in which he held out for me to see. A strength that can never be taken away.
There are no exceptions in life. However, there are opportunities for exceptional triumphs.
This wasn't just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins in it.
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
"To have a child, is to decide FOREVER to have your heart go walking around outside your body".
To whom much is recieved. much is expected.
Today I will remind myself and others that mistakes are lessons too
Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday
We are not put on this earth to see through one another, but to see one another through.
"We don't change over time. We only become more ourselves." --Tales of the Body Thief
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
We should be lenient in our judgement, b/c often the mistakes of others would have been ours had we had the opportunity to make them.
When drawing a map for your life, be sure to use a pencil.
When we are with Nature we are awake, and we discover many interesting things and reach many a mark we are not aiming at.
When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel
When you hold back on life, life holds back on you.
When you look back at your past, look tenderly and gently at all you have been through. Look with the eyes of the soul. See that each experience was necessary to bring you home to your heart.
When you remove the unnecessary layers you have the clarity to see what is important
You are what you are and where you are because of what goes into your mind. You change what you are and where you by changing what goes into your mind.
You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can.
"you can't change what you don't acknowledge"
"how's that working for ya"
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing.
You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jumping over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you're doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle.
You've got to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got, and remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget. Learn from mistakes but never regret.
A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.
A day out-of- doors, someone I loved to talk with, a good book and some simple food and music -- that would be rest.
A face without freckles is like a sky with out stars.
A gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.
A good beginning makes a good ending.
A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.
A kind and compassionate act is often it's own reward.
--William John Bennett
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
A man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.
A Note To Myself
"Do not make knowledge your companion, while not allowing humility to walk beside it, for one is never really complete without the other."
A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A traveler crossed a frozen stream
in trembling fear one day;
Later another drove across,
and whistled all the way.
Great and little faith alike
were granted safe convoy;
One had pangs of needless fear,
the other all the joy.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
A wise companion is half the journey.
--Russian proverb
Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short.
--John Henry Newman
Accept life daily not as a cup to be drained but as a chalice to be filled with whatsoever things are honest, pure, lovely, and of good report.
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.
All the things I really like to do are either immoral, illegal, or fattening.
All things are difficult before they are easy.
All things must change
To something new, to something strange.
Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
Always plan ahead, it was not raining when Noah built the Ark!
Always set a high value on spontaneous kindness.
--Samuel Johnson
Am I the only one, who sees what we've become?
I see no sense in going on...
an Emerson quote, "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
And though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just
watch what they do.
As time goes by the wonder of who you are never stays the same, and I am left with so many Memories.
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that was supposed to never let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
As we grow up,

and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too,
so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast

So take too many pictures,

Be careful Today for after.. it shall be your past..and you shall deal with it Tomorrow.
be kind to thy sister.not many may know the depths of sisterly love.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Be more concerned with your character
than your reputation, because your character
is what you really are, while your reputation
is merely what others think you are.
Be nice to people on the way up, because you never know who you might meet on the way down.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Be yourself - everyone else is already taken.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old
people are works of art.
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
Being happy does not mean that everything is perfect.It means that you decided to look beyond the imperfections.
Birth is the sudden opening of a window, through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect. For what has happened? A miracle. You have exchanged nothing for the possibility of everything.
BITTERNESS brings out the Worse in You...it is best to accept your fate and MOVE-ON.
Blessed is the man who keeps in touch with his child's heart.
Books to the ceiling,/ Books to the sky,/ My pile of books is a mile high./ How I love them! How I need them!/ I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.
Both bad and good things happened in my life but i took the bad ones and turned them to good...such experiences made me the best that i am today..
Brillant people talk about ideas
Normal people talk about news
Small minded people talk about other people
Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
Change is the process by which the future invades our lives.
Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.
Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without asking a clear question.
Children Learn What They Live If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.

Clouds may come, but clouds must go,
And they have a silver lining,
For beyond them all, you know,
The sun or moon is shining.
Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
Contentment is a sure way to happiness...and Envy is the gate of downfall. (Moneshearl)
Cowardice asks the question; is it safe?
Expediency asks the question; is it politic?
Vanity asks the question; is it popular?
But conscience asks the question; is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular--but one must take it because it is right.
Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It's a gift to the world and every being in it. Don't cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you've got.
Dance like no one is watching
Sing like no one is listening
Love like you've never been hurt
Live like it's Heaven on Earth
Das Grundkonzept der Welt ist Liebe.
Ohne Liebe zu Dingen die wir tun, kann nichts wachsen.
Weder unser eigener Horizont, noch die Erfahrung unseres Gegenübers.
Sei es Kunst oder ein Lebewesen. Machen wir es nicht aus Liebe, hinterbleibt eine Ruine von Missverständnissen.
Somit beginnt Liebe mit Eigenliebe.
Design is not for philosophy — it's for life.
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice
Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.
Did I walk past the person today who could have changed my life,
because he/she did not look the way I expected?
Discontent is the first necessity of progress.
Do each day what you can live with for the rest of your life.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Do unto others, as you wish other to do unto you!
Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
Don't be dismayed at goodbyes.
A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after moments or lifetimes is certain for those who are friends.
Don't cry because it's over...smile because it happened.
Don't despair over unanswered prayer...or what seem to be an endless woe...Listen as the answer is just waiting for the right time to be bestowed...Have faith in your prayers....
Don't Forget, We Only Get What We Give..
Don't regret your past..
It has shaped you.
Don't fear your future...
It is yours to shape.
Don't tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Don’t be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
Dream as if you'll live forever,
Live as if you'll die today,
Love like there is no tomorrow,
Dance like no one is watching.
Each day comes bearing it's own gift. Untie the ribbons.
Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
EMOTION
Emotion is a pair of scales upon which the soul rests.
On one side are fears, pains, frustrations, grief, and despair...
On the other, courage, love, joy, contentment and excitement.
And however far the scales may dip on either side...
So they will in time dip equally to the other.
And when they dip we taste the sweetness or bitterness of life.
But when they balance there is no taste but the blandness of monotony.
Emotions NEVER stay the same,people ALWAYS change,days drag on as life fades away
Enjoy Life Today! I've never seen luggage racks on a hearse!
Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
Every action has a reaction
Every experience, no matter what the outcome, adds richness and depth to your life. With the positive moments you build joy, and with the difficult times you build strength.
Every increased possession loads us with new weariness.
Every other Saturday, first thing in the morning, I turn the TV on to make the quiet go away.
Every sorrow endured, every fear conquered, every challenge faced made my forebears who they were and made me who I am.
Every soul is a circus...
Everyone makes it if only they try to give their best and stand on every fall...for There is no limit in trying nor is there a boundary in dreams.
Everyone’s a star and deserves the chance to twinkle.
Everything is o.k. in the end. If its not o.k., then its not the end.
Everything is temporary anyways...
Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him.
Experience is the hardest teacher, it gives the test before the lesson.
Failure seldom stops you; what stops you is the fear of failure.
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
Fear is NOT a factor.
Fear oF Failure, Fear oF Future Forces me Forward, away From a FreeFall
Your fears maybe uncountable, but should not be unaccountable
Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart...
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some
blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit
to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
For all of us, today's experiences are tomorrow's memories.
For fast-acting relief try slowing down.
I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.
I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.
I personally think we developed language because of our deep need to complain.
I worry that the person who thought up Muzak may be thinking up something else.

If love is the answer, could you please rephrase the question?
If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?
If you read a lot of books you are considered well read. But if you watch a lot of TV, you're not considered well viewed.
For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don't enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you're not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn't going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.
For people who live on expectations, to face up to their realization is something of an ordeal.
For trying to be god and take justice in your hands for something you will never have, you will meet death over your conscious.
Forget your mistakes but remember what they taught you.
Forgive: When you give up the hope that the past could have been any different.
Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
Form ever follows function.
Friend's are like four-leaf-clover. Hard to find, lucky to have.
From time to time, we chase a dream we know deep down will absolutely come true.
Genuine beginnings begin within us, even when they are brought to our attention by external opportunities
give a smile get a smile
Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you.
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams
God answers ALL prayers. Sometimes the answer is just "NO".
God gave us to ears and one mouth so we can hear twice as much as we say.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience --- well, that comes from poor judgment.
Great minds have been fostered entirely by staying close to home. Moses never got further than the Promised Land.
--James Morris
Grief is like a drunken house guest...Always coming back for one more good-bye hug. -Stephen King "Bag Of Bones"
Grief knits two hearts in closer bond than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.
Grief takes time.
You won't get over it in a month
or even a year.
In fact, you never get over it.
You blend it into your life,
And make it part of you.
H O M E is any four walls that enclose the right person.
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
Happiness isn't a GOAL, it's a BY-PRODUCT.
Happiness lies for those who cry,
those who hurt, those who have
searched and those who have tried,
for only they can appreciate the
importance of people who have
touched their lives.
Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.
Happy people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their
way.
He conquers who endures.
He who battles monsters beware, lest a monster he become.
Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
Help you I can, yes.
History never looks like history when you are living through it.
I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.
I am a danger. I guess I should have done something about my anger, but I'll never learn.
I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.
I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to steer my ship.
I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.
I am so lucky to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
I am thankful for a wonderful life and GOD made it all possible for me to forget yesterday and move on to tomorrow...Today!
I believe in the sun, even when it's not shining.
I believe in love, even when I don't feel it.
I believe in God, even when He is silent.
I Believe...That the people you care about most in life are taken from you to soon.
I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
I don't give a fig!
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
I don't know whats around the bend, but I'm going to believe the best does
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I was to have lived the width as well.
I have a trunk containing continents.
--Beryl Markham
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
I have often found that I regret the things I haven't done more than the things I have.
I hear- I forget
I see- I remember
I do- I understand
I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.
I like the dreams for the future better than the history of the past.
I live in the present...I only remember the past and anticipate the future.
I look back on my life like a good day's work; it is done and I am satisfied with it.
I love thee to the level of everyday's most quiet need, by sun and candle light ... I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life.
I love you twice as much as yesterday but only half as much as tomorrow...
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.
--Douglas Adams
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
I pour kerosene on everything I love and watch it burn
I refuse to accept seats on the 50 yard line of life. I brought my shoes. I came to play.
I should bear false witness if I did not declare life happy. To have suffered, nay to suffer, sets a keen edge of what remains of the agreeable.
I shut my eyes in order to see.
I smile because I don't know what the heck is going on.
I spend all my time wishing that I was someone else
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
I want to be strong, I want to laugh along, I want to belong to the living.
I WANT TO DIE WHEN MY ALL MY CHILDREN HAS THEIR OWN CHILDREN. WHEN I CAN BE SURE THEY WILL FIND MY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WITH THEM AGAIN. THEN I CAN REST.
I wasn't doing so well for four or five years, and then I stopped complaining and started feeling better.
I will embrace today's difficult tasks, take off my coat, and make dust in the world.
I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.
I would rather have five minutes of wonderful, than a lifetime of nothing special.
I've always been in the right place and time. Of course, I steered myself there.
I've always preferred to have wings than to have things.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.
I've Learned...That no matter how bad your heart is broken,The world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've Learned...That your life can be changed in a matter of seconds by people you don't know.
If God brings you to it,
He will bring you through it.
If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything.
If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.
If my heart had a voice it would be singing.
If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life. Accept it gratefully. You can learn much from those who have gone before you.
If people were expected to pop out of bed, we’d all sleep in toasters.
If there is only one thing that is true about our journey through life it is this: we must crawl before we can walk, we must walk before we can run, we must run before we can fly.
If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires.
If you are lucky enough
to find a way of life you love,
you have to find
the courage to live it.
If you are never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances.
If you cannot be a poet, be the poem.
If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
If you forget how young you use to be with all your mistakes ...I can't imagine how sad you are today...for it seems you've not learn anything yesterday!! (Moneshearl)
If you had sleepless nights... holding on to your ruined name...endless debts and more.. grasping air for a single taste of peace...disappearing friends and relatives...a broken heart...a broken vows..hungry cries of babes..forgotten by the society of the elites ...If you went through this then....God Loves You to have survived all...Today.....HAVE FAITH..
If you haven't got all the things you want,be grateful for the things you don't have that you don't want.
If you hold a cat by the tail, you learn things you cannot learn any other way.
If you only have one smile in you, give it to the people you love
If you really want to live you'd better start at once to try. If you don't it really doesn't matter, but you'd better start to die.
If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.
If you're focused on what you've left behind, you will not be able to see what lies ahead. Now go ahead and look around!
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
in a world where you can be anything; be yourself
In life you find that one of the most desirable qualities you can find in a person is flexibility. The ability to change with changing times, to face adversity with the same attitude one would have in facing victory.
In life, as in dance, grace glides on blistered feet.
In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.
In the depth of winter, I found there lies within me an invincible summer.
In the right light, at the right time
everything is Extraordinary.
In three words I can sum up everything
I've learned about life: It goes on.
In times like these it helps to recall that there have always been times like these.
It doesn't matter where you go in life...what you do...or how much you have...It's who you have beside you!
It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.
--Ursula K. LeGuin
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.
It is in changing that things find purpose.
It is never too late - in fiction or in life - to revise.
It is not the haste of ones journey, but rather what he does along the way, that determines whether or not he reaches his destination.
It is our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities.
It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
It matters not how long you live, but how well.
It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan
It's a very short trip. While alive, live.
It's easy to blend in with the crowd, but you owe it to yourself to live your life in color.
It's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes, that's why we have to buy really special ones every now and then to make the walk a little easier.
It's not the years in your life but the life in you years that counts.
I’m going to smile and make you think I’m happy, I’m going to laugh, so you don’t see me cry, I’m going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me - I’m going to smile.
JOURNEY
The bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you refuse to take the turn.
Keep some souvenirs of your past, or how will you ever prove it wasn't all a dream?
Kinder sehen Dinge, die für uns als entdeckt gelten.
Doch in Wahrheit haben wir sie genau so wenig entdeckt,
wie die abenteuerlustigen Kinderaugen.

Love is very unconditional. Love is never right or wrong. You cannot force love or create it when it's not meant to be. You cannot even destroy it when it's destined to survive. Sometimes two people meet by fate. Love doesn't ask "WHY" for its a reason itself. Love doesn't ask "WHAT IF" for its willing to risk it all. Love doesn't ask "UNTIL WHEN" for it knows only forever. So, never waste an opportunity to say what you feel to someone you really like/love because its not everyday you meet a person who has the "MAGIC" to let your heart smile & make you fall in love! THINGS BOUND TO HAPPEN FOR A REASON. Oftentimes, we fall for the wrong person & fool for the right one but because ...
Laugh uncontrollably....it clears the mind.
Laundry is the only thing that should be separated by color. ~Author Unknown

Life is made of millions of moments, but we live only one of

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming--"Wow! What a Ride!"

Life may not be the party we hoped for...but while we are here, we might as well dance!
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO!, What a ride!!"
Life's great challenge is to become who you are meant to be.
Life's Lesson

lifes like a lyric, live like a song

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.
Love all of life. Each year brings its own pleasures and sings its own songs.
Love begets Love...you will always be somebody Else's choice...there will always be a Love meant for only You....Don't force Love that was never meant to be...
Love doesn't make the world go round.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Love doesn't sit there like a stone, it has to be made, like bread: remade all the time, made new.
Love is a driver, bitter and fierce if you fight and resist him, easy-going enough once you acknowledge his power.

Now he brings roses
to his sweetheart,
she lives most anywhere.

he knows that despair.
He offers them a rose
and some quiet prose,
about dancing in the shimmering ballroom.
Because you never know when
they will bloom.
Old age ain't no place for sissies.

One faces the future with one's past.
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
One moments proof of heaven's existence.
One more moment when one would love to live forever.

by doing the thing; for though you think you know it
You have no certainty, until you try.

Pale is the joy that guilty pleasures bring.
Paris is always a good idea.
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
Perhaps even these things, one day, will be pleasing to remember.
Plenty of people miss their share of happiness. Not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it.
Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experience.
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
Real happiness comes from inside. Nobody can give it to you.
Reality is the only obstacle to happiness.
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some.
Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated, and more intoxicating!
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Remember this - that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Retirement: when you stop living at work and begin to work at living.
S.T.O.R.Y.— those Strengths you possess, Topics you enjoy, Optimal conditions you thrive in, and Relationships you share with others. When you combine the S.T.O. and R. in the right fashion, you get your Yes—that moment when you realize “this is what I’m meant to do.”

The life which is unexamined is not worth living.
The lifeblood of integrity is becoming the same person no matter where we are-no matter who is around.
The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end.
The man with no shoes use to complain until he met a man with no feet.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
The silence of the night listens to a rushing woe ...a silent weeping of a discontented and tired heart ... only time can wipe away pain and bring a new start...and the promise of someday everything will be alright....(Moneshearl)

The struggle remains Great..but I know God is watching over me..my faith remains as Great.
The sum total of what I am is my children's heritage.
The universe is a palace of mirrors, reflecting back what ever you project.
The world is as you see it..
Thoughts become things, therefore you are the creator of your own experiences.
You cannot change what is happening to you, however you can change the way you think about it, therefore changing your experience of the thing itself..

There's a path that leads to Nowhere
In a meadow that I know,
Where an inland river rises
And the stream is still and slow;
There it wanders under willows
And beneath the silver green
Of the birches' silent shadows
Where the early violets lean....
All the ways that lead to Somewhere
Echo with the hurrying feet
of the Struggling and the Striving,
But the way I find so sweet
Bids me dream and bids me linger -
Joy and Beauty are its goal;
On the path that leads to Nowhere
I have sometimes found my soul.
There's more to life than what I've got
There's only us there's only this. forget regret or life is yours to miss. no other road, no other way, no day but today
Thinking is more interesting than knowing,but less interesting than looking.
thinking only of yourself-immaturity. realizing others are more important than you are-maturity.

This world is full of wonders. Unexplainable situations that seems to be lost or a failure but actually are just an opening where the best is yet to come.
Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.
Those who gossip with you will gossip about you...
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
time is precious...waste it wisely
time is the most playful element because,,, it lengthens the minutes when you wait,,, and rush the hours when you enjoy the moments...
Time passes.
Life happens.

Children grow up.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.

A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by Yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering You on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, And waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you, or Come in and carry you out.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you
something else is the greatest accomplishment.

To Our Children
We traveled one full day by air to meet them, but each one of our trips had taken many months to compete. Riding our emotions, fueled by our commitment to each other, our journey had actually started the day Andrea and I were married.
Our first glimpse of them was through a small 1 inch by 1 inch photo. More of a mug shot than a picture. It exceeded our expectations and erased any doubts that lay hidden within us. Our tears of joy washing away years of questions:
What if we could have?
Did we really try everything?
What if we would have?
Will we ever be able to?
Boy are they ever lucky, Why not us?
The testing, the waiting, the questions, the wanti...
To undertake is to achieve.
Today a new sun rises for me;
everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.
Today is the Tomorrow that happened Yesterday.
Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.
Tomorrow's life is too late. Live today.
Trials have no value or intrinsic meaning in themselves. It's the way we respond to those trials that makes all the difference.
Trouble is a part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.
Try to correct and forgive yesterday to be able to smile tomorrow, never REGRET what has been a part of your life.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
I found this from a post by fellow sb.com-er, ~*~Kathie~*~
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, doubt, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,empathy, generosity, forgiveness, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch you actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch you character, it becomes your DESTINY.

WATCH YOUR ACTIONS; THEY BECOME HABITS
WATCH YOUR HABITS; THEY BECOME CHARACTER
WATCH YOUR CHARACTER; IT BECOMES YOUR DESTINY
We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.
WE ARE ALL APPRENTICES IN A CRAFT WHERE NO ONE EVER BECOMES A MASTER
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
We are all teachers, or should be. Anyone who relays experience to another person is a teacher. Not to transmit your experience is to betray it.
We are here to add what we can to life, not get what we can from it.
We cannot discover new oceans if we are not willing to leave the shore
We do not remember days, we remember moments
We do not understand: Joy...Until we face sorrow. Faith...Until it is tested. Peace...Until faced with conflict. Trust...Until we are betrayed. Love...Until it is lost.Hope...Until confronted with doubts.
We don't have anything...we don't own anything...everything is on borrowed time..a loan from above..DO GOOD.. TIME IS SHORT.
We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing!
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
We never know the worth of water 'til the well runs dry.
We should love, respect, and nurture all life. That process needs to begin with yourself because your life is representative of the life force within each and every living being.
We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done,cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives, not looking for flaws but for potential."
Wer früh aufsteht, hat mehr Zeit, um seine Träume zu verwirklichen.
What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other ?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
What we have learned from others becomes our own by reflection.
When a Love is chosen by the heart...we must respect it...It doesn't matter Who or What or When or where....All that matters is the feelings that could never be tried by the test of time....A love that God gave to cherish till forever.
When I am by myself, nobody else can say goodbye.
When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
When people say: she's got everything, I've only one answer: I haven't had tomorrow.
When things go wrong, don't go with them.
When we can't have what we love we must love what we have.
When you bury the hatchet,
don't mark the spot.
When you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
When you know better; you do better.
When you lose someone, you realize just how much that person means to you, So maybe its a good thing they're gone. So you can see just how much that person means to you.
When you're drawing up your first list of life's miracles, you might place near the top the first moment your baby smiles at you.
Wheresoever you go,
go with all your heart.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
While we are trying to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.
Why did you grab the rocks which made you falling ?
One can do a straight line with a straight stick or a twisted stick.
Why not learn to enjoy the little things...there are so many of them.
Wine should be taken in small doses; knowledge in large ones.
Wisdom has two parts: having a lot to say, and not saying it.
With all the opportunities I had, I could have done more. And if I'd done more, I could have been quite remarkable.
With each new friendship, we build more firmly the foundation on which the peace of the whole world rests.
Without a test, there can be no testimony.
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our
attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.
Yesterday is almost forgotten when Today come with promised hope and Tomorrow fulfills it. (Moneshearl)
You are more than a human being, you are a human becoming.
You can't go back and start over my friend, but you can start from here and make a brand new end!
you can't have everything... where would you put it?
You can't mend a broken heart; You can stitch the wounds, but the scars last forever.
You can't plant a seed and pick the fruit the next morning.
You can't try to do things; you simply must do them.
You can't turn back the clock. But you can wind it up again.
You cannot put the same shoe on every foot.
You don't marry someone you can live with, you marry the person who you cannot live without.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face...you must do the thing you cannot do.
You grow up the day you have your first real laugh -- at yourself.
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own.
And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own.

You play the hand you’re dealt. I think the game’s worthwhile.
You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated.
