"I never took the time, to stop and realize that death takes many forms even while alive." -Plankeye "Sometimes you find yourselves in the last place you look." -Doug Hsu "I know I don't deserve but you still shine down on me." -Plankeye "The childhood shows a man as the morning shows the day." -John Milton "To know how to grow old is the masterwork of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living." -Henri Frederic Ameil "True godliness does not turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it, and excites their efforts to men it." -William Pen (Quakers) "There is no grief like the grief which does not speak" -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives." -Dr. Samuel Johnson "Believe me, every man has his secret sorrows, which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "The world is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel." -Horace Walpole, Forth Earl of Oxford "Reprove a friend in secret, but praise him before others." -Leonardo di Vinci "We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it." -Mark Twain "I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends." -Walt Whitman "It is only with the heart that one can rightly see, what is essential is invisible to the eye." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery "When it is dark enough, men see stars." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "Life is still rich in things to which one can give oneself-social causes to serve, truth to be discovered, beauty to be created, friendship to claim ones loyalty. All of the greatest secrets of the world have not yet been discovered." "Ecidujerp spelled backwards is prejudice; either way it makes no sense." "It is noteworthy that the so-called seven deadly sins-pride, covetness, lust, envy, anger, gluttony, and sloth-are all matters of the attitude, inner spirit, and motives." "The potter pulls the clay for the handle of a pitcher from every possible side. With people, as with clay, outside pressure, properly absorbed, creates inner strength" "A person who needs to be loved the most when he deserves to be loved the least." "If you constantly compare yourself with others, you may become either unhappy or boastfully proud, for there will always be people greater or lesser than you. Remember that the mediocre gifts may contribute more toward the success of some project than the extraordinary talents of another. Believe in what you can do and be content in doing the best you can." "You can spend so much time fretting about the past and the things that cannot be changed, and worrying about the future and things which may never happen, that you lose the joy and fullness of the present."
"Probably the greatest need of the world today is for reconciliation. In order to establish a good relationship with others one must first admit his full share of responsibility; and if one has been wronged then he must forgive unconditionally-for partial forgiveness is not forgiveness at all."
"A person who does not understand another's silences will not understand his words either."
"What you do, what you say, what you are, may help others in ways you never know. Your influence, like your shadow, extends where you may never be."
"Truth is never wrong, but the purpose or motive for telling that truth needs to be considered. Is the purpose of telling the truth to hurt or to help another? It makes a difference how the truth is told, for words, even though truthful, can bring such offence that the damage done may offset the intended good. Therefore one should speak truth in love."
"Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperence, self-control, diligence, strength of will, content, and a hundred other virtues which the ungrateful will never know." -Charles Kingsley |
