Katie Couric: "Mrs. Governor, what newspapers do you read?"

“Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down when reasoning is destroyed.”

"What you tolerate now will be what destroys you later".

This one may have been on here before, in fact I might have posted it but it sort of goes along with one of the above:


"Depression is anger without enthusiasm."

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.
I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.
I am at your command.
Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me,
For I can do them quickly, correctly, and profitably.
I am easily managed, just be firm with me.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with the precision of a
Machine and the intelligence of a person.
You can run me for profit, or you can run me for ruin.
Show me how you want it done. Educate me. Train me.
Lead me. Reward me.
And I will then... do it automatically.
I am your servant.
Who am I?
I am a habit. ~~~~~~~~~Author Unknown

"It is only in his physical absence that the place he occupies in our soul is affirmed."

~Pan's Labyrinth~

Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket

To err is human; to forgive, infrequent.
Franklin P Adams

Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.

"Education is the best friend.
An educated person is respected everywhere.
Education beats the beauty and the youth."

"A person should not be too honest.
Straight trees are cut first
and honest people are victimized first."

Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go. ~Brooks Atkinson

One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things. ~John Burroughs

A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
~Edgar Guest

All desirable things in life are either illegal, banned, expensive or married to someone else!!!!

Hey startover22,
Thanks a lot, I always try to post those quotes that can be implemented in real life and which make lot of sense to a practical person.

Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another,Even Though Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway.

My grandma use to always say this when I was younger.

I like this one so much it's in my sig.

If at first you don't succeed then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

"Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile."

"Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance."

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts. ~Martin Buxbaum

Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1844

Beauty isn't worth thinking about; what's important is your mind. You don't want a fifty-dollar haircut on a fifty-cent head. ~Garrison Keillor

Good friends are like stars... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. '

They are not just the quotes, they are the teachings.

When an elephant is in trouble even a frog will kick him.

Anger has no eyes.

Among the blind, the squint rules.

Just because lips have met doesn't mean hearts have joined.

And just because two bodies are drawn to each other doesn't mean two people are right for each other.

This is from a book by Jennifer Crusie called faking it-

"When Eve ate the apple
Her knowledge increased.
But God liked dumb women
So paradise ceased"

I thought it was interesting

WE are not bad people, we are GOOD people making BAD choices.
From the book The Human Side of Being Human

"Interestingly, koi, when put in a fish bowl, will only grow up to three inches.

When this same fish is placed in a largetank, it will grow to about nine inches long.

In a pond koican reach lengths of eighteen inches.

Amazingly, when placed in a lake, koi can grow to three feet long.

The metaphor is obvious. You are limited by how you see the world."

It says I have to spread the love Angel so must post here. This is a DANDY!!

When you have light around you, everything will follow you. But when you enter the dark,even your own shadow will not follow you.

Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.
~Bill Morgan, Jr.

I've felt like a kid these past few days! Even in sunny FL, the temps got in the 20's! :)

Found this poem today by Percy Bysshe Shelley:

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory -
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

I thought it was absolutely beautiful. :)

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything.
They just make the best of everything!

Life's a b*t+*. And damn! Life's too short. You got to love life. And you got to love your life. Because no one else will. Be good to others. But be better to yourself... unknown

If you did a mistake doesn't mean that you are a mistake.
Don't curse yourself.

"Your personality can open doors, but only your character can keep them open."
