"Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?" -- Leo Buscaglia

one of my all time favorites by pablo neruda...yes it is in spanish. i can't seem to find the english translation online..but it is on page 55 of his book the yellow heart.

Recuerdos de la amistad, Pablo Neruda
Era una tal obstinación
la de mi amigo Rupertino
que empeñó su desinterés
en siempre inútiles empresas:
exploró reinos explorados,
fabricó millones de ojales,
abrió un club de viudas heroicas
y vendía el humo en botellas.

Yo desde niño hice de Sancho
contra mi socio quijotesco:
alegué con fuerza y cordura
como una tía protectora
cuando quiso plantar naranjos
en los techos de Notre-Dame.
Luego, cansado de sufrirlo,
lo dejé en una nueva industria:
«Bote Ataúd», «Lancha Sarcófago»
para presuntos suicidas:
mi paciencia no pudo más
y le corté mi vecindad.

Cuando mi amigo fue elegido
Presidente de Costaragua
me designó Generalísimo,
a cargo de su territorio:
era su orden invadir
las monarquías cafeteras
regidas por reyes rabiosos
que amenazaban su existencia.

Por debilidad de carácter
y amistad antigua y pueril
acepté aquellas charreteras
y con cuarenta involuntarios
avancé sobre las fronteras.

Nadie sabe lo que es morder
el polvo de la derrota:
entre Marfil y Costaragua
se derritieron de calor
mis aguerridos combatientes
y me quedé solo, cercado
por cincuenta reyes rabiosos.

Volví contrito de las guerras:
sin título de general.
Busqué a mi amigo quijotero:
nadie sabía dónde estaba.

Lo encontré luego en Canadá
vendiendo plumas de pingüino
(ave implume por excelencia)
(lo que no tenía importancia
para mi compadre obstinado).

El día menos pensado
puede aparecer en su casa;
créale todo lo que cuenta
porque después de todo es él
el que siempre tuvo razón.

If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a month -- get married. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else.

A compassionate attitude opens our inner door, and as a result it is much easier to communicate with others. If there is too much self-centered attitude, then fear, doubt and suspicion come and as a result our inner door closes. Then it is very difficult to communicate with others.

Here are some quotes from one of our founding fathers: Thomas Jefferson

When the people are afraid of their government, there is tyrany; when the government is afraid of the people there is liberty.

A Bill Of Rights is what people are entitled to againest every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.

A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent to the body and stamp no charactor on the mind. Let your gun therefore, be your constant companion in your walks.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned- this is the sum of good government.

The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is natural manure.
