If it's still in your mind, it is still in your heart.

Agreed.

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

"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"

"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

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

~ Immanuel Kant

dawn
 

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

"Hope" is the thing with feathers-
 

"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

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

walk a mile
 

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.

"Withhold admiration from a narcissist and be disliked. Give it and be treated with indifference." -Mason Cooley

The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost
 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,


And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

fishing
 

Give a man a fish,and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

"People need a little loving and, God, sometimes it's sad all the shit they have to go through to find some."
~Brautigan

"Life is meaningless only if we allow it to be. Each of us has the power to give life meaning, to make our time and our bodies and our words into instruments of love and hope." - Tom Head
