Everyone lies. If a person lies for love, I let them be. I can still learn something from that person.
If they lie for harm or hate, I walk away fast. That person doesn't have anything I need. Anon. |

“Strength of character means the ability to overcome resentment against others, to hide hurt feelings, and to forgive quickly.”
― Lawrence G. Lovasik " I have never been good at letting or getting someone else to take care of me. And I would never be ok with knowing someone felt sorry for me . That takes alot of manipulation and I have never been good at that. I would rather motivate someone ." - Unknown “You are never strong enough that you don't need help.” ― César Chávez |

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.

"The empty vessel makes the loudest sound".
– Shakespeare, Henry V |
Heart, what a rare bird you are,
that in your yearning for heaven's attention, you flew to the spear-point like a shield! The rose flees autumn, but what a foolhardy rose you are, seeking the autumn wind. You were rain from another world that fell on this dusty earth. You ran in all directions and escaped down the gutter. - Rumi |
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
Marcus Aurelius |
“Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it.” ~ Swedish Proverb

THE GUEST HOUSE
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice. meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whatever comes. because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. -- Jelaluddin Rumi |
"It's not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the person who is in the arena. Whose face is marred with dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly ... who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly ..." Theodore Roosevelt
" Avoiding vulnerability and heartache, doesn't make you strong or resilient. Standing in the feeling of it all and remaining strong, being unchanged regardless of the outcome, that is strength ." - The Vera Wood Files |

Rilke....(I tend to like the Stephen Mitchell translations best...)
Evening
The sky puts on the darkening blue coat held for it by a row of ancient trees; you watch: and the lands grow distant in your sight, one journeying to heaven, one that falls; and leave you, not at home in either one, not quite so still and dark as the darkened houses, not calling to eternity with the passion of what becomes a star each night, and rises; and leave you (inexpressibly to unravel) your life, with its immensity and fear, so that, now bounded, now immeasurable, it is alternately stone in you and star.
