Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes. ~Gloria Naylor

There's something like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. ~John Gregory Brown, Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery, 1994

According to WikiAnswers, the human head weighs 12 pounds. Today, mine feels like 57.

When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful. ~Barbara Bloom

"If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."

-- Ann Landers

Psalm 116:7

Return, O my soul, to your
Tranquility, for the Lord
Has been good to you.

[JudyKayTee]

My mother used to say, "If you do that again I will kill you."

Does that count? It influenced my life greatly and I can (occasionally) still hear her voice saying it.

[Couchcarrot]

Here's a quote from a man whose sayings have helped me to
See certain situations in a better perspective in the past:

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

Mahatma Gandhi

"Have a happy heart Start"
My husbands grandma is failing... I can hardly think of her without tears. We are all so close, she is 91 almost 92. She is the MOST beautiful woman I have ever had in my life.
I don't even want to imagine my life or my kids life without the constant positivity she shows us all. I have to come to terms... and like she always tells me to "Have a happy heart."
If ever I would want to be like someone, it would be her...

[rankrank55]

I found this quote inside of a Hershey's bar wrapper and it changed my whole outlook of what being beautiful means:

"The best cosmetic for beauty is happiness."

It makes so much sense; when you see someone smiling you don't tend to rate their physical appearance... anyone smiling and happy is beautiful!

Carl Sandburg-
'Nothing happens unless first we dream.'

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

'I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.'

If you do not raise your eyes you will think that you are the highest point. ~Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin

Inside my empty bottle I was constructing a lighthouse while all the others were making ships. ~Charles Simic

The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. ~Henry Miller

It is not enough for a man to know how to ride; he must know how to fall. ~Mexican Proverb


To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
~William Blake, "Auguries of Innocence," 1810

"Love doesn't make the world go around.

Love is what makes the ride worthwhile."

"The best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any good, and how he treats people who can't fight back."
