Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go. ~Author Unknown :rrose: |
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~ Maya Angelou :rrose: |
"There is no going back in life. There is no return. No second chance." ~Daphne du Maurier :rrose: |
"In the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for "finding himself." If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence." - Thomas Merton |
"I want my inner truth to be the plumb line for the choices I make about my life -- about the work that I do and how I do it, about the relationships I enter into and how I conduct them." - Parker J. Palmer |
"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be "happy." I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter and to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all." - Leo C. Rosten |
Also makes a good sleep-aid.
"Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can,and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean." - Aldous Huxley |
"Almost any difficulty will move in the face of honesty. When I am honest I never feel stupid. And when I am honest I am automatically humble."(f)

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

'Tis better to be alone for the right reasons than with someone for the wrong ones.
No clue who said it, but it is so freakin' true!! |
“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”
“The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.” – Ayn Rand |
Laughter and tears are meant to turn the wheels of the same machinery of sensibility; one is wind-power, and the other water-power; that is all.

One more.
I try his head occasionally as housewives try eggs,-- give it an intellectual shake and hold it up to the light, so to speak, to see if it has life in it, actual or potential, or only contains lifeless albumen.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table |
"Don't Make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life." - Miguel Angel Ruiz |
"Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul." - Thomas Merton |
"Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox |
"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls. The most massive characters are seared with scars."
~Khalil Gibran |
"It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'" ~ Winnie the Pooh
