| Relationships -- of all kinds -- are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold on to some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold to tightly, to possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost. - Kaleel Jamison, The Nibble Therory "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same." - Source Unknown "First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do." - Epictetus "You never know what happiness a simple act of kindness will bring out." - Bree Abel "School has taught me not only how to learn in the classroom, but outside the classroom as well. Where do you think I learned how to climb, swing and skip? Where do you think I learned how to meet my best friends?" - Jessie Braun You gain strength, courage and confidence by every ecperience by which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." - Eleanor Roosevelt "Knowledge is love and light and vision." - Hellen Keller "Love means each person is free to follow his or her own heart." - Melody Beattie "The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do." - John Holt "I wish they would only take me as I am." - Vincent van Gogh "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal." - Hannah Moore "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are those ... it might have been." - Source Unknown "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life; it goes on." - Robert Frost "You have to be yourself. Be very honest about who and what you are. And if people still like you, that's fine. If they don't, that's their problem." - Sting "The roots of true achievement lie in the will to become the best that you can become." - Harold Taylor "Maturity begins to grow when you can sense your concern for others outweighing your concern for yourself." - John MacNaughton "Sports is life with the volume turned up." - Barry Mano "There's no thrill in sasy sailing when the skies are clear and blue, there's no joy in merely doing things which anyone can do. But there is some satisfaction that is mighty sweet to take, when you reach a destination that you thought you'd never make." - Spirella "To be a champion, you have to believe in yourself when nobody else will." - Sugar Ray Robinson "Energy and persistence conquer all things." - Benjamin Franklin "Never let yesterday take up too much of today." - Texas E. Schramm It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the stong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds coul have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is in the areana, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions' who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt |
