The heights by great ones reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Ms. Meander · 04-10-2010, 10:32 AM

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.

~ E. B White, Charlotte: Charlotte's Web

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.

~Albert Schweitzer

Diva · 04-10-2010, 11:08 AM

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.

~Frederick Keonig

Most of our faults are more pardonable than the means we use to conceal them.

~François, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, Maxims, 1665

Lady Pamela · 04-10-2010, 03:07 PM

Within the sound of silence,
A million words are heard.
If you but only listen with your intuition.

"We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness." - David Weatherford

No te quiero sino porque te quiero
y de quererte a no quererte llego
y de esperarte cuando no te espero
pasa mi corazón del frío al fuego.

Te quiero sólo porque a ti te quiero,
te odio sin fin, y odiándote te ruego,
y la medida de mi amor viajero
es no verte y amarte como un ciego.

Tal vez consumirá la luz de Enero,
su rayo cruel, mi corazón entero,
robándome la llave del sosiego.

En esta historia sólo yo me muero
y moriré de amor porque te quiero,
porque te quiero, amor, a sangre y fuego.

Pablo Neruda ~ Sonnet LXVI

One of my favorite quotes Diva.

I do believe the translation should read: Tell me what company you keep and I'll tell you who you are. So true...

Consider the trees which allow the birds to perch and fly away without either inviting them to stay or desiring them never to depart. If your heart can be like this, you will be near to the way.

Mister Bent · 04-10-2010, 10:53 PM

We find by losing. We hold fast
by letting go. We become something
new by ceasing to be something old.
This seems to be close to the heart
of that mystery.
- Frederick Buechner

To Laugh
Y.Daniil

It is more of a cry
My laugh fills only others
My mind,
My body,
My soul:
Empty
I long to laugh,
to laugh
and hold my soul

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead." - Louisa May Alcott
