“They say true love only comes around once and you have to hold out and be strong until then. I have been waiting. I have been searching. I am a man under the moon, walking the streets of earth until dawn. There's got to be someone for me. It's not too much to ask. Just someone to be with. Someone to love. Someone to give everything to. Someone.” - Henry Rollins

Adorable, the quote you posted reminded me of my all time favorite quote:
"To know and not to do, is not yet to know." -Buddha Quote:

Socrates - some of my favorite quotes
Beauty is short-lived tyranny. Beware the barrenness of a busy life. Death may be the greatest of all human blessings. False words are not only evil in themselves, but the infect the soul with evil. He is richest who is content with the least, for the content is the wealth of nature. I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing. :wateringgarden: :artist: |

Jewish Proverbs Sayings of Jewish Origin |

|
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

Cultivating a generous spirit starts with mindfulness. Mindfulness, simply stated,
means paying attention to what is actually happening; it's about what is really going on. Nell Newman |
Mindfulness makes our eyes, our heart, our non-toothache, the moon, and the trees
deep and beautiful. And when we touch our suffering with mindfulness, we begin to transform it. Mindfulness is like a mother holding her baby in her arms and caring for her baby’s pain. When our pain is held by mindfulness it loses some of its strength. . . . Mindfulness recognizes what is there, and concentration allows you to be deeply present with whatever it is. Concentration is the ground of happiness. If you live twenty-four hours a day in mindfulness and concentration, one day is a lot. Thich Nhat Hanh |
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.
