Each moment of your life is a brush stroke in the painting of your
growing career. There are the bold, sweeping strokes of one increasing, dynamic purpose. There are the lights and shadows that make your life deep and strong. There are the little touches that add the stamp of character and worth. The art of achievement is the art of making life--your life--a masterpiece. Wilferd A. Peterson |
A tree has both straight and crooked branches; the symmetry of the tree,
however, is perfect. Life is balanced like a tree. When you consider the struggles, difficulties, and sorrows as a part of it, then you see it as beautiful and perfect. George M. Lamsa |
Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which people cease
to live unreflectively and begin to devote themselves to their lives with reverence in order to raise them to their true value. To affirm life is to deepen, to make more inward, and to exalt the will-to-live. Albert Schweitzer |
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead. |
Factual information alone isn't sufficient to guide you through life's labyrinthine tests. You need and deserve regular deliveries of uncanny revelation.
One of your inalienable rights as a human being should therefore be to receive a mysteriously useful omen every day of your life. Rob Brezsny |
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
~Kahlil Gibran |
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyse your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
~Leo Buscaglia |
MARIPOSA DE OTOÑO
La mariposa volotea y arde -con el sol- a veces. Mancha volante y llamarada, ahora se queda parada sobre una hoja: que la mece. Me decían: -No tienes nada. No estás enfermo. Te parece. Yo tampoco decía nada. Y pasò el tiempo de las mieses. Hoy una mano de congoja llena de otoño el horizonte. Y hasta de mi alma caen hojas. Me decían: -No tienes nada. No estás enfermo. Te parece. Era la hora de las espigas. El sol, ahora, convalece. Todo se va en la vida, amigos. Se va o perece. Se va la manò que te induce. Se va o perece. Se va la rosa que desates. También la boca que te bese. El agua, la sombra y el vaso. Se va o perece. Pasò la hora de las espigas. El sol, ahora, convalece. Su lengua tibia me rodea. También me dice: -Te parece. La mariposa volotea, revolotea, y desaparece.~ Pablo Neruda |
"Even your breath stinks of mediocrity."
- Sue Sylvester |
"All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware,"
~ Martin Buber |
To be able under all circumstances
to practice five things constitutes perfect virtue; these five things are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness. ~ Confucius |
Perseverance alone does not assure success. No amount of stalking will lead to game in a field that has none.
~I Ching |
""But I don't want to go among mad people," said Alice. "Oh, you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here."”
~Lewis Carroll |
“Love is saying 'I feel differently' instead of 'You're wrong.'” - Author Unknown |
"I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” - Oscar Wilde |
Don't worry about losing. If it is right, it happens - The Main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.
~John Steinbeck |
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons. You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes |
Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it.'
~Elvis Presley |
To celebrate Pride...some of my favorite quotes:
Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another. ~ Homer If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise. ~ Johann von Goethe If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer." ~ Robin Tyler If male homosexuals are called "gay," then female homosexuals should be called "ecstatic." ~ Shelly Roberts I'm a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant. ~ Paul Newman Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves? ~ Friedrich Nietzsche Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people. ~ Martina Navratilova It always seemed to me a bit pointless to disapprove of homosexuality. It's like disapproving of rain. ~ Francis Maude |
"If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it . . . write it in the sand near the water's edge." - Napoleon Hill
