*When we close the windows and doors of our house and stay inside, we feel very secure, we feel safe, unmolested. But life is not like that. Life is constantly knocking at our door, trying to push open our windows that we may see more; and if out of fear we lock the doors, bolt all the windows, the knocking only grows louder. The closer we cling to security in any form, the more life comes and pushes us. The more we are afraid and enclose ourselves, the greater is our suffering, because life won’t leave us alone. We want to be secure but life says we cannot be; and so our struggle begins. —J. Krishnamurti
*If I ever had twins, I'd use one for parts. - Steven Wright
*Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be. - Khalil Gibran
*I have lived a long life and have had many troubles, most of which have never happened. - Mark Twain
The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. 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 a potential to turn a life around. It’s overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt. - Leo Buscaglia
*The heart of thee
is the heart of all;
not a valve, not a wall,
not an intersection
is there anywhere in nature,
but one blood rolls
uninterruptedly an endless
circulation through all men,
as the water of the globe
is all one Sea, and truly seen,
its tide is One.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Over-Soul
"The older you get, the more you learn to see what you've been taught to see. When you're a kid, you see what's there." - Steven Wright
*What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? - Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh
