"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble."
William Shakespeare
Witches in Macbeth.

If someone you love hurts you, cry a river, build a bridge and one day you will get over it.

Some say the glass is half full, some say the glass is half empty. I say “Are you gonna drink that?”

Spirit Dancer · 10-31-2010, 07:41 AM

Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you
feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes
the inner voice which says, “This is the real me,” and
when you have found that attitude, follow it.

William James

Spirit Dancer · 10-31-2010, 08:01 AM

You will not grow if you sit in a beautiful flower garden,
but you will grow if you are sick, in pain, experience losses,
and if you do not put your head in the sand, but take the pain
and learn to accept it, not as a curse or punishment,
but as a gift to you with a very, very specific purpose.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Spirit Dancer · 10-31-2010, 08:03 AM

The one law that does not change
is that everything changes, and the
hardship I was bearing today was
only a breath away from the pleasures
I would have tomorrow, and those
pleasures would be all the richer
because of the memories of this
I was enduring.

Louis L'Amour

Spirit Dancer · 10-31-2010, 08:04 AM

Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of
hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fiber of
character but strengthen it. Every conquering temptation represents
a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the
right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.

James Buckham

As we think, act, and live, here today, we build the structures of our homes in the spirit realms after we leave earth, and we build karma for future lives thousands of years to come, on this earth or other planets. Life will assume new dignity, and labor new interests for us, when we come to the knowledge that death is but a continuation of life and labor, in higher planes- Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Nobody really understood.... well, how could they?

Perhaps imagination is only intelligence having fun.

~George Scialabra

Spirit Dancer · 11-01-2010, 07:24 AM

We think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well.
It thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well.
If it surfaced, it would have an entirely different view.

Mao Tse-Tung

Spirit Dancer · 11-01-2010, 07:26 AM

It is the mind which creates the world around us,
and even though we stand side by side in the same meadow,
my eyes will never see what is beheld by yours,
my heart will never stir to the emotions with which yours is touched.

George Gissing

Spirit Dancer · 11-01-2010, 07:33 AM

The world is round and the place
which may seem like the end,
may also be only the beginning.

Ivy Baker Priest

Spirit Dancer · 11-01-2010, 07:36 AM

In this world there
is nothing softer
or thinner than
water. But to compel
the hard and unyielding,
it has no equal.
That the weak
overcomes the strong,
that the hard gives
way to the gentle –
This everyone
knows, yet no one
acts accordingly.

Lao-Tzu

Spirit Dancer · 11-01-2010, 07:40 AM

A moment’s insight is sometimes
worth a life’s experience.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Spirit Dancer · 11-01-2010, 10:38 AM

Anyone can kneel before you and say their submissive;
Submissiveness comes from the heart
the core of who you are.

Jesse · 11-01-2010, 11:43 AM

You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note. ~Doug Floyd

The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except yourself. ~Rita Mae Brown, Venus Envy

Nature made us individuals, as she did the flowers and the pebbles; but we are afraid to be peculiar, and so our society resembles a bag of marbles, or a string of mold candles. Why should we all dress after the same fashion? The frost never paints my windows twice alike. ~Lydia Maria Child

Not all those who wander are lost. ~J.R.R. Tolkien

Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road. ~Voltaire

The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them. ~George Bernard Shaw

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common. ~John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding

If you don't control your mind, someone else will. ~John Allston

In the moment of our creation we receive the stamp of our individuality; and much of life is spent in rubbing off or defacing the impression. ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827

When I was four years old they tried to test my IQ, they showed me this picture of three oranges and a pear. They asked me which one is different and does not belong, they taught me different was wrong. ~Ani Difranco
