2008-03-15 19:47 Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

2007-05-28 9:59 We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are?
You are a marvel. You are unique.
In all the years that have passed,
there has never been another child like you.
Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. |
2007-05-28 9:57 Don't shut love out of your life by saying
it's impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love;
the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. |
2007-05-28 9:54 Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
to be without hope is to be without purpose. |
2007-05-28 9:52 In order that people may be happy in their work,
these things are needed: they must be fit for it;
they must not do much of it;
and they must have a sense of success in it. |
2007-05-28 9:51 If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about,don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; |
2007-05-28 9:48 Many people spend so much of their life energy
"sweating the small stuff" that
they completely lose touch with the magic and beauty of life.
When you commit to working toward this goal
you will have far more energy to be kinder and gentle. |
2007-05-28 9:45 All of us ought to be able to brace ourselves
for the predictable challenges and setbacks
that crop up every day.
If we expect that life won't be perfect,
we'll be able to avoid that impulse to quit.
But even if you are strong enough to
persist through the obstacle course event
that will completely knock you on your back. |
2007-05-28 9:43 With legs to take me where I go,
With eyes to see the sunset's glow,
With ears to hear what I would know...
Forgive me when I whine!
I'm blessed indeed!
This world is beautiful and fine!

2007-05-28 9:39 Life isn't fair. It's a bummer, but it's absolutely true.
One of the mistakes many of us make is that
we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others,
thinking that life should be fair,
or that some day it will be.
It's not and it's won't.
words:
1 bummer |
2007-05-28 9:37 Love is an activity, not a passive affect;
it is a "standing in", not a "falling for".
In the most general way,
the active character of love can be described by stating that
love is primarily giving, not receiving. |
2007-05-28 9:35 Look for the beauty around you--
in nature, in others, in yourself--
and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind.
You can find love in a smile or a helping hand,
in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word.
It is all around, if you just look for it. |
