Find a woman who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on her. Who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... Wait for the woman who kisses your forehead and who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats. Who holds your hand in front of her friends and who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. That one woman who is constantly reminding you of how much she cares and how lucky she is to have you.... that one woman who turns to her friends and says: “That's her!” (Author Unknown) |
When you look outside yourself, you can change lives, even your own.

With a heart of any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait." ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Quote:

To find someone who will love you for no reason, and to shower that person with reasons, that is the ultimate happiness - Robert Brault

“The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything but they make the most of everything.” -Sam Cawthorn

At any rate, I might pursue some path, however solitary and narrow and crooked, in which I could walk with love and reverence. —Henry David Thoreau |
Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.
(Stacey Charter) |
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
(Buddha) |
You are tired,
(I think) Of the always puzzle of living and doing And so am I. Come with me, then, And we’ll leave it far and far away— (Only you and I, understand!) You have played, (I think) And broke the toys you were fondest of, And are a little tired now; Tired of things that break, and— Just tired. So am I. But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight, And I knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart— Open to me! For I will show you places Nobody knows, And, if you like, The perfect places of Sleep. Ah, come with me! I’ll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon, That floats forever and a day; I’ll sing you the jacinth song Of the probable stars; I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream, Until I find the Only Flower, Which shall keep (I think) your little heart While the moon comes out of the sea. ~e.e. cummings |
I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.
Martha Washington |
Sappho
Please Come back to me, Gongyla, here tonight, You, my rose, with your Lydian lyre. There hovers forever around you delight: A beauty desired. Even your garment plunders my eyes. I am enchanted: I who once Complained to the Cyprus-born goddess, Whom I now beseech Never to let this lose me grace But rather bring you back to me: Amongst all mortal women the one I most wish to see. --Translated by Paul Roche |
"Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others." -Thomas Jefferson
|
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. ~Jim Morrison
|
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. -- Neruda
|
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. ~Author Unknown

"It was in love I was created and in love is how I hope to die." -Paolo Nutini

Public opinion is a permeating influence, and it exacts obedience to itself; it requires us to drink other men's thoughts, to speak other men's words, to follow other men's habits. Walter Bagehot (1826-1877) British economist. |
There is only one success, and that’s to spend your life in your own way.
(Christopher Morley) |
Whoever is happy will make others happy too. Those who have courage and faith will never perish in misery.
(Anne Frank) |
I’m so optimistic I'd go after Moby Dick in a row boat and take the tartar sauce with me!
(Zig Ziglar) *I’ve often been told this quote fits me, perfectly!* LOL! |
In this world, you must be a bit too kind to be kind enough. -Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, dramatist and novelist (1688-1763)

ZEN
Before enlightenment I chopped wood and carried water After enlightenment I chopped wood and carried water |
Long Distance II
by Tony Harrison Though my mother was already two years dead Dad kept her slippers warming by the gas, put hot water bottles her side of the bed and still went to renew her transport pass. You couldn't just drop in. You had to phone. He'd put you off an hour to give him time to clear away her things and look alone as though his still raw love were such a crime. He couldn't risk my blight of disbelief though sure that very soon he'd hear her key scrape in the rusted lock and end his grief. He knew she'd just popped out to get the tea. I believe life ends with death, and that is all. You haven't both gone shopping; just the same, in my new black leather phone book there's your name and the disconnected number I still call. |
“Energy and persistence conquer all things.”- Ben Franklin

“I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon — if I can. I seek opportunity — not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations, and to face the world boldly and say, this I have done.”- Dean Alfange
