Love has nothing to do with
what you are expecting to get,
it's what you are expected to give
-- which is everything.

For it was not into my ear you whispered,
but into my heart.
It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Our lives are not determined by what happens
to us but by how we react to what happens,
not by what life brings to us,
but by the attitude we bring to life.
A positive attitude causes a chain reaction
of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes.
It is a catalyst, a spark that
creates extraordinary results.

Even though you may want to
move forward in your life,
you may have one foot on the brakes.
In order to be free, we must learn how to let go.
Release the hurt. Release the fear.
Refuse to entertain your old pain.
The energy it takes to hang onto the past
is holding you back from a new life.
What is it you would let go of today?

Today's public figures can no longer write
their own speeches or books,
and there is some evidence that

When you are content to be simply yourself
and don't compare or compete,
everybody will respect you.

Be happy while you're living,
for you're a long time dead.

up as judge in the field of truth and knowledge
is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods.

Democracy consists of choosing your dictators,
after they've told you what it is you want to hear.

Life begins on the other side of despair.

Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.

Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss
and complete knowledge,
for Eternal Wisdom created
nothing under the sun in vain.

All charming people have something to conceal,
usually their total dependence
on the appreciation of others.

What we call the beginning is often the end.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.

Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist.
Children already know that dragons exist.
Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.

Human beings are the only creatures
on earth that allow their children to
come back home.

Forgiveness is love in its most noble form.

When I find myself fading, I close
my eyes and realize my friends are my energy.

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.
Don't walk in front of me;
I may not follow.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.

True friends stab you in the front.

Most people would rather be
certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.

Half the world is composed of idiots,
the other half of people clever enough
to take indecent advantage of them.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

Some men see things as they are and ask,
'why?' I dream things that never
were and ask, 'why not?

Music is well said to be the speech of angels.

Music is the soul of language.

If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it.

Regret for the things we did
can be tempered by time;
it is regret for the things we did
not do that is inconsolable.

The pure and simple truth is
rarely pure and never simple.
