Touch passion when it comes your way. It's rare enough as
it is, don't walk away when it calls you by name.
"After 356 years, and 7 lifetimes, I still lead with my heart."
-- Jadzia Dax
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once, it's his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it's your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
God gives every bird it's food,
But he does not throw it into it's nest.
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
The tongue weighs practically nothing,
But so few people can hold it.
He who loses money, loses much;
He who loses a friend, loses more;
He who loses faith, loses all.
"Dogs are better than people, because they know,
but do not tell." -- Emily Dickinson
Kindness: A language the deaf can hear, the blind can see,
and the mute can speak
When you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.
I do not think happiness is to hard to find--it is how you
treat it once you get hold of it that counts.
What holds you together is far greater than what can tear
you apart.
Respect costs nothing.
Life is like a soap opera. God is the head writer,
your story line keeps changing daily: It's a daily
event; then there are Friday cliffhangers.
Don't marry the person you think you can live with. Marry
the one you can't live without.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often
we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one
which has been opened for us.
The days are long, but the years are very short.
Sorrow looks back, worry looks around and faith looks up.
It is better to share happiness than it keep it for yourself.
Pray for what you want, work for what you need.
Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.
The heart is wiser than the intellect.
Speak only well of people and you never need whisper
Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgment.
I May Never See Tomorrow
I may never see tomorrow, there is no written guarantee.
And things that happened yesterday belong to history.
I cannot predict the future and I cannot change the past.
I have just the present moment; I must treat it as my last.
I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away
and be lost to me forever as a part of yesterday.
I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet,
be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life complete.
I must make this moment precious for it will not come again.
And I can never be content with things that might have been.
Kind words I fail to say this day may ever be unsaid,
for I know not how short may be the path that lies ahead.
The unkind things I do today may never be undone,
and friendships that I fail to win may nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance on bended knee to pray,
and thank God with humble heart for giving me this day.
I may never see tomorrow, but this moment is my own.
It's mine to use or cast aside; the choice is mine, alone.
I have just this precious moment in the sunlight of today.
Where the dawning of tomorrow meets the dusk of yesterday.
Great Writings Of The Past
I started out with nothing....I still have most of it.
When did my wild oats turn to prunes and All Bran?
I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.
Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.
All reports are in. Life is now officially unfair.
If all is not lost, where is it?
It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
If at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished.
The first rule of holes: If you are in one, stop digging.
I tried to get a life once, but they were out of stock.
I went to school to become a wit, only got half-way through.
It was all so different before everything changed.
Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
A day without sunshine is like a day in Seattle.
I wish the buck stopped here. I could use a few.
"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour,
it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a
minute—and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity."
-- Albert Einstein
"When things are working, our real lives can feel like
romantic comedies." -- James L. Brooks
