My two favorite quotes of all time:
"Destiny is what you are supposed to do in life. Fate is what kicks you in the ass to make you do it." - Henry Miller
"One can never consent to creep once one feels the impulse to soar." - Hellen Keller

A man's most powerful weapon against a woman is another woman. They just throw us against each other and sit back and laugh, because they know there will always be a woman willing to believe his lies and save his ass. -- Saharyakhi

Life is not tried, it is merely survived if you're standin' outside the fire.

than a lifetime of nothing special.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Choosing to ignore the truth doesn't make it any less true.

"Take what's given to you, make the most of it, and never be satisfied." -George Washington Carver-
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"... grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."
-Saint Francis of Assisi-

People never have
a money shortage,
they have an idea shortage.
~RANDY GAGE
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When you are inspired
by some great purpose,
some extraordinary project,
all your thoughts break their bonds;
Your mind transcends limitations,
your consciousness expands in
every direction, and you find your-
self in a new, great and wonderful
world. Dormant forces, faculties
talents become alive, and you
discover yourself to be a greater
person by far than you ever
dreamed yourself
to be.
~PATANJALI
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Far better it is to dare mighty
things, to win glorious triumphs
even though checkered by failure,
than to rank with those poor spirits
who neither enjoy nor suffer much
because they live in the gray twilight
that knows neither victory nor
failure.
~THEODORE ROOSEVELT
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Peace of mind
comes from not wanting
to change others,
but by simply accepting them
as they are.
True acceptance
is always without demands
and expectations.
~GERALD G JAMPOLSKY
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What we vividly imagine,
ardently desire,
enthusiastically act upon,
must inevitably
come to pass.
~COLIN P SISSON
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This life was not
created to be a prison.
It was designed to be a
platform for creativity
and expression that is
colourful and challenging.
~RAMTHA
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We outgrow people, places,
and things as we unfold.
We may be saddened when
old friends say their piece
and leave our lives...but
let them go.
They were at a different stage...
and looking in a different
direction.
~KRISTEN ZAMBUCKA
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What we are today
comes from
our thoughts of yesterday,
and our present thoughts
build our life
of tomorrow:
Our life is the creation of our mind.
~UNKNOWN
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When one door of happiness closes,
another opens; but often we look
so long at the closed
door that we do not
see the one that
has been opened
for us.
~HELEN KELLER
