... there are more things in heaven and earth, horatio,
than are dreamt of in your philosophy. -- hamlet

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. ~ Og Mandino

"You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory -- and hire someone to protect against this -- because of the work the rest of us did.

"Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless -- keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."

Elizabeth Warren

"Straight Americans need an education of the heart and soul.
They must understand - to begin with - how it can feel to spend
years denying your own deepest truths, to sit silently through classes,
meals, and church services while people you
love toss off remarks that brutalize your soul."
... Bruce Bawer

Earth teach me resignation
as leaves which die in the fall.
Earth teach me regeneration
as the seed which rises in the spring.


- Ute Indians

"Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.
Louisa May Alcott

When we ask advice we are usually looking for an accomplice.

If you see a friend without a smile, give him one of yours.

"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby."


Langston Hughes

That I might contribute a verse...
 

As heard tonight on Storycorp:

O ME! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;

Of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities fill'd with the

foolish;

Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I,

and who more faithless?)

Of eyes that vainly crave the light--of the objects mean--of the

struggle ever renew'd;

Of the poor results of all--of the plodding and sordid crowds I see

around me;

Of the empty and useless years of the rest--with the rest me

intertwined;

The question, O me! so sad, recurring--What good amid these, O me, O

life?

Answer.

That you are here--that life exists, and identity;

That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.

(Whitman)

A woman can look both moral and exciting... if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.
Edna Ferber

They say that if you love someone you should let them go,
but they never say what to do if they don’t come back.

Good morning,
This is God, i will be handling all of your problems today, i will not need your help, so have a wonderful day.
