Amor mors mihi erit, sed vitalis mihi est.

Enchantress · 10-22-2010, 10:13 AM

Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.

~ Winnie the Pooh

Spirit Dancer · 10-22-2010, 10:14 AM

If we fight against the waves
that pass over us in life, we are
overpowered. If we move with
the waves in life as they roll
over us, the wave passes on.

Pesikta Zurtarti

Spirit Dancer · 10-22-2010, 10:16 AM

When you get into a tight place and everything goes
against you, till it seems as though you could not
hang on a minute longer, never give up then,
for that is just the place and time
that the tide will turn.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

Spirit Dancer · 10-22-2010, 10:18 AM

In times of adversity, I remember I am strong enough to meet the challenges
of my life. I am equal to every situation, a match for every difficulty. Sourced
in the power of the Universe, I allow that power to work through me. I meet
calamity with strength. I have stamina. Rather than draw on limited resources,
I draw on the infinite power within me that moves through me to accomplish
its good. I am fueled by all the love, all the strength there is. Loving strength
melts mountains. I am ever partnered and supplied by the universal flow.
Knowing this, I do not doubt my strength. I am strong and secure.
Julia Cameron

~ Winnie the Pooh

Agreed.

Another:

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

and...

“A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.”

and...

"People who don't Think probably don't have Brains; rather, they have grey fluff that's blown into their heads by mistake.”

and...

“Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon."

But my favorite e.e. milne quote is one from Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh:

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”

"What really knocks me out is a book; when you're all done reading
it, you wished the author that wrote it was a terrific friend
of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you
felt like it." ~Holden, "The Catcher in the Rye"

"Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness." ~ Allen Ginsberg

Arwen · 10-22-2010, 11:20 AM

We have learned, over and over again, that whatever we pay attention to becomes more important in our lives. When we pray, we are paying attention to our relationship with the Divine. With our attention on Spirit, we see the infinite possibilities, the presence of love and light, everywhere we go - because this wondrous spirit IS everywhere and everything! We feel that presence, and it comforts us, and enlightens us.

-Lissa Coffey

"When people pray they seem to think God is some kind of ATM machine. Real prayer is simply love in action."
- Sri Sri Sri Spankneesh

"The mind I love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind." ~Katherine Mansfield

Kätzchen · 10-22-2010, 12:42 PM

"Out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing was ever made,"

~ Immanuel Kant

It's always darkest before the dawn,
so if you're going to steal your neighbors newspaper,
that's the time to do it.

Jesse · 10-22-2010, 09:33 PM

"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

I've heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.

-Emily Dickinson

"Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night." ~Marion Howard

"It is only with the heart that one sees rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye."

Antoine DeSaint Exupery

JAGG · 10-23-2010, 07:32 AM

Before you critize someone walk a mile in their shoes first.
That way when they hear it , you'll be a mile ahead of them, plus it will be even harder to catch you since they are bare-foot.
