A
true friend is one soul in two bodies. —Aristotle
I will not
die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or
catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to
make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a
wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that
which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to
me as blossom, goes on as fruit."
Dawna Markova
Author of Open
Mind.
When you
were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when
you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Cherokee Expression
"Don't
ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And
then go and do that. Because what the world needs is
people who have come alive."
Harold Whitman
"There are only two ways
to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is."
Albert Einstein
Dream as if you'll live
forever...
live as if you'll die today."
James Dean
"We
grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft
haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us
let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them
through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes
always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true."
Woodrow Wilson
28th US
President
"A rock pile ceases to
be a rock pile
the moment a single man contemplates it,
bearing within him the image of a cathedral."

Thousands
of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will
not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Buddha
The Enlightened One
Too often
we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear,
an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the
potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia
I expect to
pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or
any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me
not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
Stephen Grellet
Quaker
Missionary
Funny how we set qualifications for the right person to love,
while
at the back of our minds, we know that the person we truly love will
always be an exception.
Attitude is the mind's paintbrush,
it can color any situation" – Unknown

Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.
By Buddha.
Meditate.
Live purely. Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.

What would I do without you,
My precious, furry friend?
Part mischief, but all blessings,
And faithful to the end!
You look at me with eyes of love;
You never hold a grudge...
You think I'm far to wonderful
To criticize or judge.
It seems your greatest joy in life
is being close to me...
I think God knew how comforting
Your warm, soft fur would be.
I know you think you're human,
But I'm glad it isn't true...
The world would be a nicer place
If folks were more like you!
A few short years are all we have;
One day we'll have to part...
But you my pet, will alway have
A place within my heart.
