"It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake." - Frederick Douglass |
"Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable." - Bruce Lee |
"We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine." - Dwight L. Moody |
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
Leo Buscaglia |
To know when to go away and when to come closer is the key to any lasting relationship. Doménico Cieri Estrada |
The more connections you and your lover make, not just between your bodies, but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls, the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship, and the more real moments you will experience together. Barbara De Angelis |
You must first have a good relationship with yourself before you can have a
good relationship with others. You have to feel worthwhile and acceptable in your own eyes. The more independent you are, the better you'll be able to connect and relate with others. Gary Emery |
Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else? The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
Martin Luther King, Jr. |
We are selfish when we are exclusively or predominantly concerned with the good for ourselves. We are altruistic when we are exclusively or predominantly concerned with the good of others.(f)
Mortimer Adler American, Philosopher Quotes |

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
~ Rumi 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 all! Even if they're 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 whomever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. ~ Rumi |
Dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres ~ Mom's favorite

"The only time a mistake becomes a failure is when we look for someone to blame."(f)

You can't trust water: Even a straight stick turns crooked in it.
~W. C. Fields |
I don't like books which are full of name dropping.
~Daphne du Maurier |
"To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.” - Aaron Copland |
“If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.” - Maxwell Maltz |
"Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death” - Albert Einstein |
We need to find the "middle way" in our own lives. It is the art of
finding balance. Reflecting upon our lives, we soon discover what serves us well--nurturing calmness, ease, and simplicity. We also discover what it is that leads to entanglement, confusion, distress, and anxiety. Wisdom is being able to discern the difference, then knowing what we need to nurture and what we need to learn to let go. Christina Feldman |
Weakness and strength are necessary for balance. No one or nothing is only
weak or only strong. But some of us overlook our weaknesses, and even deny that we have them. That can be dangerous, because denying there is a weakness is in itself a weakness. Likewise, accepting that we have weaknesses becomes a strength. And by the same token, overestimating strength is a weakness. You should not be blinded by your strengths. The feeling of strength is not the same as having strength. Neither should you ignore your weaknesses. Know them well, too. Joseph M. Marshall III |
