An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind. ~ Buddha ~ |
Often the best way to overcome desire is to satisfy it. W. Somerset Maugham |
a few quotes from one of my favorites, and regular character in my thesis, the controversial lord byron.............
"I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned." "It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it." "The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain." "The heart will break, but broken live on." |
"Always do right- this will gratify some and astonish the rest." - Mark Twain |
"The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready." - Henry David Thoreau |
"After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder |
Elizabeth David wrote
"There are people who take the heart out of you, and there are those who put it back." |
"Life is the art of drawing without an eraser"
~ John W. Gardner |
Kindness is the language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

"Our best intentions are often thwarted by external forces--forces that we ourselves set in motion long ago. Decisions, especially bad ones, create their own kind of momentum, and momentum can be a bitch to stop." ~Andre Agassi

just some words i put together after the death of a friend....
my words couldn't postpone her exit.grief hits you right between the ribs.don't you hate when people ask if she knew you were there?the point is you knew.When her last breath waltzed from that space,my heart opened like a parachute.she didn't die...she simply found a silence she could call her own. |
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare;
it is because we do not dare that they are difficult. Seneca |
Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere. Self-pity gets
you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world—making the most of one’s best. Harry Emerson Fosdick |
"You cannot do a kindness too soon for you never know when it will be too late." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I gotta say that I'm enjoying adulthood. For a lot of reasons. And, I'll tell you reason number one: as an adult, if I want a cookie, I have a cookie."
Jerry Seinfeld |

How can you explain that you need to know that the trees are still there, and the hills and the sky? Anyone knows they are. How can you say it is time your pulse responded to another rhythm, the rhythm of the day and the season instead of the hour and the minute? No, you cannot explain. So you walk. ~Author unknown, from New York Times editorial, "The Walk," 25 October 1967
