An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind. ~Mahatma Gandhi

This is one of my favorite quotes. This is for you Diva!

Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum

Sonnet XVII

I do not love you as if you were saltprose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this:

Where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

- Pablo Neruda

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes. ~Sally Field

Always act like you're wearing an invisible crown. ~Author Unknown

Duchess 07-12-2010 08:39 AM

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

~Thomas à Kempis, Imitation of Christ, c.1420

Duchess 07-12-2010 08:41 AM

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

~Leo Aikman

A break up is like a broken mirror, it's better to leave it broken than to hurt yourself trying to fix it.

“Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. It is also the price of having a highly intelligent, driven, desirable woman in your life--but it is worth paying... and will make you a better man in the end.”—John Alanis

Three Rules of Work:
Out of clutter find simplicity;
From discord find harmony;
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
-- Albert Einstein

"Love is not a doctrine. Peace is not an international agreement. Love and Peace are beings who live as possibilities in us."

-Mary Caroline Richards, (Centering, 1964)

Medusa 07-12-2010 10:13 AM

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

If we believe in magic, we'll live a magical life.
If we believe our life is defined by narrow limits,
we've suddenly made those beliefs real.
Anthony Robbins

Spirit Dancer 07-12-2010 10:34 AM

Our beliefs are so powerful that they color our entire world.
We literally see what we believe, but we can--and most of us
do--fail to take responsibility for what we see, especially what we see within.
Hugh Prather

Spirit Dancer 07-12-2010 10:35 AM

Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible.
This power becomes available to you just as soon
as you can change your beliefs.

Maxwell Maltz

Spirit Dancer 07-12-2010 10:37 AM

The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find
what interests you and that you can do well, and put your whole soul into it—every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have.

John D. Rockefeller

Spirit Dancer 07-12-2010 10:54 AM

If your heart and mind are in harmony
anything is possible.

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

~A.A. Milne

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

-- Dr. Seuss
