Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength.
- Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

Ms. Meander · 03-18-2011, 06:15 AM

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.
- Paulo Coelho

Diva · 03-18-2011, 06:23 AM

She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.

~Toni Morrison, Beloved

He has not known life, he who has not known love; and his destiny he is yet to find.
~ Phumza Mafela ~

Spirit Dancer · 03-18-2011, 08:37 PM

When you ignore your soul's destiny, when you get caught up in
your own self-interests and forget to care for others, you will not
feel "right." Instead, you will feel empty and unfulfilled.
During these times, you are neglecting your soul--
you are depriving it of nourishment. . . .
seek something outside your nine-to-five job as an additional source
of fulfillment and as a way to feel the joy of helping others. You can do
any number of things to fulfill this goal--volunteer at a community
hotline, coach a Little League team, donate your time to a public school,
visit the sick. Whatever you choose, you will gain a sense that you
are giving of yourself, that you are sharing yourself
with the world, that you are fulfilling the destiny of your soul.

Rabbi Harold Kushner

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Robert Frost

"If you’re one in a million, there will be one more person exactly like you-

The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven -
All's right with the world!
~Robert Browning

StillettoDoll · 03-20-2011, 04:36 AM

Spring is not the best of seasons.
Cold and flu are two good reasons;
wind and rain and other sorrow,
warm today and cold tomorrow.

I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers.

~Henry David Thoreau, "Solitude," Walden, 1854

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”
- Ashley Smith
