I heard a different version of that. Give a man a fish and you feed him for the day, teach a man to fish, and he will sit in a boat and get drunk all day. =)

When you have come to the edge of all light that you know
And are about to drop off into the darkness Of the unknown, Faith is knowing One of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on or You will be taught to fly-- Patrick Overton

miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know that just to be alive is a grand thing." --Agatha Christie

Sara: What should we toast to?

Hitch: Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.


Hitch (2005).

It is well enough that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, if if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

Henry Ford

Spirit Dancer 01-18-2012 08:37 AM

The unhappiness we experience is not so much a result of the difficulties encountered along our journey as it is of our misperception of how life instructs us. We may see a failed relationship as an indictment of our self-worth when it is really a lesson in using better judgment, in valuing ourselves more, in expressing greater appreciation for our partner--lessons to prepare us for a more loving and fulfilling union. If we are passed over for a much-anticipated promotion, it may be just the push we need to get more training or to venture out on our own as an entrepreneur. As we rise to meet the challenges that are a natural part of living, we awaken to our many undiscovered gifts, to our inner power and our purpose.

Susan L. Taylor


We ought to do good to others as simply and as naturally as
a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes
season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.

Marcus Aurelius

Thanks Vintage. When I read it , it really made me think. Then I thought how true that was about everything in life.

Life is too short, grudges are a waste of perfect happiness, laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change.
