Hello all! I've been abundantly blessed by my virtual coffee chats with so many of you in this wonderful forum on Books and Literature! (The Relationship forum is fun too, but this is where inspiration comes from... "the stuff dreams are made of" )
Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.
Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....
Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.
"The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars."

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight: Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end.”
P.S. Forgive me if I misquoted shakesphere..
William shakesphere
When in these sessions of gratifying silent thought, I think of the past, lament my failure to achieve all that I wanted, And I sorrowfully remember that I wasted the best years of my life:Then I can cry, although I am not used to crying,For dear friends now hid in death's unending night,And cry again over woes that were long since healedAnd lament the loss of many things that I have seen and loved:Then can I grieve over past griefs again,And sadly repeat (to myself) my woes. The sorrowful account of griefs already grieved for which (the account) I repay as if I had not paid before.But if I think of you while I am in this state of sadness, dear friend All my losses are compensated for and my sorrow ends.

If sometimes you feel yourself little, useless, offended and depressed, always remember that you were once the fastest and most victorious sperm out of hundreds of millions.
