I've learned that being alone doesn't help you get over loneliness, and that the pain won't go away if you don't let go. -DRS
We all have to walk sooner or later, might as well start off running. -DRS
Only dead fish go with the flow.
If you do not choose to lead, you will forever be led by others.
Find what
scares you, and do it. And you *can* make a difference,
if you choose to do
so. - J. Michael Straczinski
Every man dies, not every man truly lives.
He is no fool, who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.
Only a ghost wallows around in his past,
Explaining himself with
self-descriptors
Based on a life lived through.
You are what you choose
today,
Not what you've chosen before.
-Wayne Dyer
Success
by Robert Louis Stevenson
That Person is a Success who has
lived well,
Laughed often, and loved much;
Who has gained the respect of
intelligent people,
And the love of Children;
Who has filled a unique
niche and has
Accomplished his or her task;
Who has made the world a
better place than before,
Whether by a perfect poem or a rescued soul;
Who never lacked appreciation of the earth's beauty
Or failed to express
it;
Who looked for the best in others
And Gave the best he or she had.
Excerpt from 'To see a World in a Grain of Sand'
By C.L. James
A big cat saw a little cat chasing its tail
and asked, "Why are you chasing your tail so?" Said the kitten, "I have learned
that the best thing for a cat is happiness, and that happiness is my tail.
Therefore, I am chasing it: and when I catch it, I shall have happiness."
Said the old cat, "My son, I too, have paid attention to the problems of the
universe, I, too, have judged that happiness is in my tail. But, I have noticed
that whenever I chase after it, it keeps running away from me, and when I go
about my business, it just seems to come after me where ever I go.
Love: The ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what
they choose for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you.
If not us, who?
If not now, when?
If all of our wishes were gratified,
Most of our dreams would be destroyed.
A life full of love has many thorns...
A Life without love has no roses.
Loving never empties the heart,
Nor Giving, the hand.
A success is a person who gets up one more time than he or she falls.
It's not who you are -- It's who you know.
It's not where you've been --
It's where you'll go.
It's not how you look -- It's how you see.
It's not
what you want -- It's what you need.
-Audio Adrenaline

Tomorrow never comes. You either have it today, or you don't."
"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice;
it is not a
thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."

"What lie behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what
lies within us." -- Emerson

It's better to die on your feet than live on your knees - Dolores Ibarruri
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists
in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the
unreasonable man." -George Bernard Shaw
