He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers.
Charles Peguy

I don't debate with liars.
Evo Morales

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Buddha

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.
Aristotle

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.
Charles Kingsley

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

I found this quote early this morning while I was organizing folders of information I keep and while it's a bit early for an Irish blessing, I can't help but leave it today because it's so beautiful and should be shared any day or any ocassion:

"May you always have warm words on a cool evening,
a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way
to your door."

I don't know who to credit as the author
but someone proposed a toast to me with this beautiful Irish blessing.

““All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. However, a path without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy—it does not make a warrior work at liking it; it makes for a joyful journey; as long as a man follows it, he is one with it.””

Carlos Castaneda

They sicken of the calm who know the storm.- Dorothy Parker

MysticOceansFL · 01-10-2012, 10:05 PM

The Mind is like the Ocean, The mind is like the ocean.
constantly changing and moving.
It can be calm like the picture of the horizon, where the setting sun kisses the blue water.
It can also be as chaotic like the waves crashing in the middle of a violent storm.
The mind is like the ocean.
filled with ideas like many various species of fish. some together in school. others off by themselves.
Some people understand the mind.
Like a surfer who understand the waves. moving with the water.
Others stand back not knowing all one can accomplish.

Like the sunbathers who sit on the shore taking in the picture of the beach but not fully experiencing all the ocean has to offer.
The mind is like the ocean.
constantly changing and moving.
going on forever and ever with no stopping to where it will go.........
