when water gets caught in habitual whirlpools,
dig a way out through the bottom
to the ocean. there is a secret medicine
given only to those who hurt so hard

Life

Maybe God wants us to meet a
few wrong people before meeting
the right one so that when we finally
meet the right person, we will know
how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes,
another opens, but often times we look so
long at the closed door that we don’t see
the one which had been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you
can sit on a porch and swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best
conversation you’ve ever had.

It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve
got until we loose it, but it’s also true
that we don’t know what we’ve been
missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an
assurance that they’ll love you back!
Don’t expect love in return; just wait
for it to grow in their heart,
but if it doesn’t, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don’t go for looks; they can deceive.
Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile because it
takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find someone that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you
want to go; be what you want to be
because you have only one life and one
chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow
to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others’ shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that
comes along their way.

Happiness lies for those who cry,
those who hurt, those who have searched,
and those who have tried, for only they can
appreciate the importance of people who have
touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss
and ends with a tear.

The brightest future will always be based
on a forgotten past,
you can’t go on well in life until you let go
of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and
everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
you’re the one smiling and
everyone around you is crying.

[Licious]

The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for.

Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

[Nomad]

you are never truly burdened beyond your capacity. all you need do is face in the right direction, then breathe and walk. breathing and walking are not hard. everything will happen from that point with no other effort required from you.

“Flowers spring to blossom where she walks
The careful ways of duty;
Our hard, stiff lines of life with her
Are flowing curves of beauty.”

Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out.

[Fancy]

After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on - have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear - what remains? Nature remains.
