We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
"A mighty pain to love it is,
and 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
but of all the pains,
the greatest pain is to love, but love in vain."
Some have been thought brave
because they were afraid to run away.
"When you depart from me sorrow abides,
and happiness takes his leave."
"When I saw you I fell in love,
and you smiled because you knew."
All along this path I tread,
my heart betrays my weary head,
with nothing but my love to save,
from the cradle to the grave... - Eric Clapton
"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature
to stop speech when words become superfluous."
-Ingrid Bergman
When once you have tasted flight,
you will forever walk the earth with
your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been,
and there you will always long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci
If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature,
but by our institutions, great is our sin. ~Charles Darwin
You do ill if you praise,
but worse if you censure,
what you do not understand.

True religion is real living; living with all one's soul,
with all one's goodness and righteousness.
Act in the valley so that you need not fear
those who stand on the hill.
Danish proverb
Do just once what others say you can't do,
and you will never pay
attention to their limitations again.
James R. Cook
"So dear I love him that with him,
all deaths I could endure.
Without him, live no life."
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.
Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.

not just your attitude
that determines your ultimate altitude."

in time of adversity not one in twenty." Choose them Wisely!
To see a world in a grain of sand,
and a heaven in a wildflower...
hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour...
Put all excuses aside and remember this: YOU are capable.

We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit. Aristotle
Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate.
Healing is mandatory.
Restoration is possible.
"A friend is one who knows who you are,
understands where you have been,
accepts what you have become,
and still gently allows you to grow."
In the century now dawning, spirituality,
visionary consciousness, and the ability to build and
mend human relationships will be more
important for the fate and safety of this nation
than our capacity to forcefully subdue an enemy.
Creating the world we want is a much
more subtle but more powerful mode of operation than
destroying the one we don't want.
- Marianne Williamson
Cease from practice based on intellectual understanding,
pursuing words, and following after speech,
and learn the backward step that turns your light inward to illuminate
your self. Body and mind of themselves will drop away,
and your original face will be manifest.
- Dogen
If A equals success, then the formula is _ A = _ X + _ Y + _ Z. _ X is work. _ Y is play. _ Z is keep your mouth shut. -- Albert Einstein
It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.
I love those who can smile in trouble,
who can gather strength from distress,
and grow brave by reflection.
'Tis the business of little minds to shrink,
but they whose heart is firm,
and whose conscience approves their conduct,
will pursue their principles unto death.
If in my youth I had realized
that the sustaining splendour of beauty of
with which I was in love would one day
flood back into my heart,
there to ignite a flame that would
torture me without end,
how gladly would I have put out
the light in my eyes.
Michelangelo
The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence,
the second listening,
the third memory,
the fourth practice,
the fifth teaching others.
"Solomon Ibn Gabriol"
It was a high counsel that I once heard
given to a young person, "Always do what you are afraid to do."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind
as a steady purpose-- a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.
Mary Shelley
Success is to be measured not so much
by the position that one has reached
in life as by the obstacles
which he has overcome.
If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound 1
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour!
William Shakespeare, "Twelfth Night", Act 1 scene 1
