Quotations by Helen Keller
:candle: Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in the world. :candle: The true test of a character is to face hard conditions with the determination to make them better. :candle: The worst sorrows in life are not its losses and misfortunes, but its fears. :candle: Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. :candle: History is a record of the incessant struggle of humanity against ignorance and oppression. |
Joy Cometh in the Morning by D. A. Boskovich © 1998 The clouds may endure for a whileBringing forth their dismal rain;But then the rainbow appears--The beauty comes after the pain.The darkness may come in the eveningWith all the terrors of the night,But then cometh the morning,Bringing with it the light.Weeping may endure for the night,And sorrow may continue for long,But joy cometh in the morningAfer the sting is gone.Joy alone can come from sufferingAnd courage is born of fear,Though your path be strewn with evils,Remember--the light is near.(f) |
from Notes on Love and Courage by Hugh Prather
This day has been magical. I have been with three friends, one at a time, and I have learned that friends can transform you. The first held me up so I could see. My second friend made me gentle and earnest. The third friend turned me into a clown, a gesturer, a creator of quips. My friends don't know what they have done today. It's nothing to them, they do it so often. I expect I must also cause a change in them. And so we--each a separate we--exist only in each other's presence.

What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.
Michel Foucault |
"Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities, and so on."
- Dalai Lama |
because it's not over yet:
I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer. My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music. It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips.
~Violette Leduc, Mad in Pursuit |
“Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!” - Unknown |
“Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends” - Joseph Campbell |
“If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.” - Henry Miller |
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who are alive.” – Howard Thurman

"I urge you all today, especially today during these times of chaos and war, to love yourself without reservations and to love each other without restraint. Unless you're into leather." — Margaret Cho

“Philosophers have argued for centuries about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, but materialists have always known it depends on whether they are jitterbugging or dancing cheek to cheek”
~Tom Robbins |
I've been working on my bike today, so my quotes tonight will follow suit...
The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets. ~Christopher Morley Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race. ~H. G. Wells For instance, the bicycle is the most efficient machine ever created: Converting calories into gas, a bicycle gets the equivalent of three thousand miles per gallon. ~Bill Strickland Cycle tracks will abound in Utopia. ~H.G. Wells |
"Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force." - Tom Blandi |
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." - Martin Luther King |
"Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits." - Thomas Jefferson |

If you make friends with people who are without character, your own character will tarnish as well.
Anon Friendship inspires and enriches the lives of those who come together. Vimala Thakar No people are happier on this earth than those who have friends with whom they can talk, with whom they can live, with whom they can have a friendly chat. Hitopadesa No friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever. Francois Mauriac |
"Cool is taking chances that most other people won’t. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. It often works more than it doesn’t. When it doesn’t, you make no apologies for it. Cool is saying ‘I tried’. Win or lose, your mission always remains the same.
