Someone to give everything to. Someone.” - Henry Rollins

Happiness is not in our circumstances, but in ourselves.
It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like
the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are.

John B. Sheerin

Spirit Dancer · 04-03-2010, 02:59 PM

You were made for enjoyment, and the world was filled with things
which you will enjoy, unless you are too proud to be pleased with them,
or too grasping to care for what you can not turn to other account than mere delight.

John Ruskin

We don't stop playing because we turn old,
but turn old because we stop playing.

Satchel Paige

Andrew, Jr. · 04-03-2010, 03:32 PM

Beauty is short-lived tyranny.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.

False words are not only evil in themselves, but the infect the soul with evil.

He is richest who is content with the least, for the content is the wealth of nature.

I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.
