“If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up.” - Deepak Chopra

We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth; there is a realm where
the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread before us like islands
that slumber on the ocean, and where the beings that pass before us
like shadows will stay in our presence forever.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton

How come anything you buy will go on sale next week?

Humorists can never start to take themselves seriously. It's literary suicide.

I was terrible at straight items. When I wrote obituaries, my mother said the only thing I ever got them to do was die in alphabetical order.

I was too old for a paper route, too young for Social Security and too tired for an affair.

I will buy any creme, cosmetic, or elixir from a woman with a European accent.

I've exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.

If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.

If you can't make it better, you can laugh at it.

In general my children refuse to eat anything that hasn't danced in television.

In two decades I've lost a total of 789 pounds. I should be hanging from a charm bracelet.

—Erma Bombeck

Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire - you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

“What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim? Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!” - Alfred Adler

Laugh when you can. Apology when you should, and let go of what you can’t change. Kiss slowly. Play hard. Forgive quickly. Take Chances. Give everything, and have no regrets. Life is too short to be anything but happy...you get what you give, so give good

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when
you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want,
but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!

Mark Twain

“What need I fear of thee? But yet I'll make assurance double sure, and take a bond of fate: thou shalt not live; That I may tell pale-hearted fear it lies, And sleep in spite of thunder” - William Shakespeare

I am optimistic and confident in all that I do. I affirm only the best

A buoyant and full-blooded soul has quick senses and
miscellaneous sympathies: it changes with the changing
world; and when not too much starved or thwarted by
circumstances, it finds all things vivid and comic. Life is
free play fundamentally and would like to be free play altogether.

George Santayana

JakeTulane · 04-10-2010, 10:12 AM

“Be still, sad heart, and cease repining; Behind the clouds the sun is shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary.” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always
