We are like people on a moving sidewalk which is
going the wrong way. If we stand still, our goal
recedes. If we walk at an easy pace we barely keep
from slipping back. Only through extra effort
can we win real gains.

Harry K. Wolfe

Your life feels different on you, once you greet death and understand your heart's position. You wear your life like a garment from the mission bundle sale ever after -- lightly because you realize you never paid nothing for it, cherishing because you know you won't ever come by such a bargain again.

- Louise Erdrich

There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy." ~George Bernard Shaw

"If you have a golf-ball-sized consciousness, when you read a book you'll have a golf-ball-sized understanding, when you look out- a golf-ball-sized awareness, when you wake up - a golf-ball-sized wakefullness, and you'll have a golf-ball-sized inner happiness. *But when you expand it, more understanding, more awareness, more sense of self, self-awareness, bliss, wakefulness."

"Businesses run on fear. If I ran my set on fear, I wouldn't get even 1% of what I get. No one would go the extra mile. But it's like a macho thing to run your business on fear, and people are in fear all day long. When you fear a place, pretty soon you start to hate the place, and you hate to go to work, and that hate turns to anger and then you're angry at your work."

- David Lynch

Spirit Dancer · 11-05-2010, 02:58 PM

Character is the product of daily, hourly actions, words and
thoughts: daily forgiveness, unselfishness, kindnesses,
sympathies, charities, sacrifices for the good of others,
struggles against temptation, submissiveness under trial.
It is these, like the blinding colors in a picture, or
the blending notes of music, which constitute the person.

John MacDuff
