Great author, great book, great questions that I've often wondered myself.
Luna Lovegood: [about her father] We believe you, by the way. That He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back, and you fought him, and the Ministry and the Prophet are conspiring against you and Dumbledore.
Harry Potter: Thanks. Seems you're about the only ones that do.
Luna Lovegood: I don't think that's true. But I suppose that's how he wants you to feel.
Harry Potter: What do you mean?
Luna Lovegood: Well if I were You-Know-Who, I'd want you to feel cut off from everyone else. Because if it's just you alone you're not as much of a threat.

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.” ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird spoken by the character Atticus Finch

The Desiderata
My baby brother is turning 20 tomorrow... crazy...
When mom and dad don't understand, a sister always will. ~Author Unknown
To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. ~Clara Ortega
An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counselor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too. ~Pam Brown
Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers. ~Pam Brown
After a girl is grown, her little brothers - now her protectors - seem like big brothers. ~Astrid Alauda
More thinking and energy should be spent on more thinking and more energy. ~ Me
Plan for the worst, then if anything else happens it's gravy. - Will Rogers
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.
-- George Bernard Shaw
Do not indulge in strong drink. It makes you shoot at cops... and miss. - Robert Anson Heinlein
Love is never wanting to lose faith, never wanting to give up, and never truly moving on. Love is knowing and praying in the deepest part of what's left of your heart that they feel the same.
BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THEN TO HAVE NEVER LOVED AT ALL
Love is that condition in which the happiness and well being of another become essential to your own. -- Robert A Heinlein
Best definition I've heard.

In life, you should only have two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. (Any color will suffice.)
If it doesn't move but should, use the WD-40.
If it should not move but does, use the duct tape.
Perfect!
I haven't been to this site it a while... it's good to see this thread is still running strong.
Well, a few months ago I went and got counseling for some personal issues I've been having and such. My counselor gave me this poem and she told me not hold onto it, I don't I'll ever be able to let it go now lol:
"The Journey
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life you could save. "
The Journey - Mary Oliver
