Walter Savage Landor: The damps...

The damps of autumn sink into the leaves and prepare them for the necessity of their fall; and thus insensibly are we, as years close around us, detached from our tenacity of life by the gentle pressure of recorded sorrow.
/Walter Savage Landor/

Jarod Kintz: The good,...

The good, the bad, and the ugly basically sums up my sex life. Except that I`ve never had the good.

Annie Dillard: You cannot...

You cannot mend the chromosome, quell the earthquake, or stanch the flood. You cannot atone for the dead tyrants? murders and you alone cannot stop living tyrants. As Martin Buber saw it, the world of ordinary days ?affords? us that precise association with god that redeems both us and our speck of world. God entrusts and allots to everyone an area to redeem: this creased and feeble life, ?the world in which you live, just as it is, and not otherwise.? ?Insofar as he cultivates and enjoys them in holiness, he frees their souls?he who prays and sings in holiness, eats and speaks in holiness?through him the sparks which have fallen will be uplifted, and the worlds which have fallen will be delivered and renewed.
/Annie Dillard/

Shannon L. Alder: Not every...

Not every person wants the prettiest, smartest, talented or spiritually uplifting person to build a life with. Sometimes we just want that special someone that makes sense, puts up with us, has patience, comes without drama, gives us focus and is willing to run with our half-baked ideas.

Gina Lake: What a...

What a surprise it is to discover that you have never needed to strive to survive and be happy after all. Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, who discovered that she always had the means for going home, you already have what you need to be happy and safe. You have never really left Home. However, if you don`t believe you already have what you need to be happy and safe, it is as if it isn`t true: If we don`t know the ruby slippers will take us home, it`s like not having them. The ego keeps us from seeing the truth about those ruby slippers- it keeps us from seeing the truth about life. Home is right here, right now, but we may not realize it and there for not experience Home, or Essence as much as we might.

Lailah Gifty Akita: If we...

If we focus on the problems of life, we will be paralysed. But we dwell on the promise of God; we find the faith, hope and courage to survive life.

C. JoyBell C.: I looked...

I looked long and hard for the paper roses! I found the reddest red ribbon, and a little golden card! We were all there together, many of us, in the same place; but I was the only one who found the paper roses, the only one who chose the reddest red ribbon, and the only one who topped off with a golden card. And so I learned that if people are unhappy, it is only because they don`t know how to look for the paper roses, they don`t see the reddest red ribbon, and they don`t like the little golden cards. We are all in the same wrap-shoppe in this life. But we are different. Because some of us are looking for the paper roses, choosing the reddest red ribbon, and picking up the little golden cards.
/C. JoyBell C./

Benny Bellamacina: Life is...

Life is like a one rung ladder, some days you can be on the top and bottom of the world at the same time

Is there a life after death? Can I never get some peace?

Jonathan Edwards: Prayer is...

Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.

Shirley Temple: Our whole...

Our whole way of life today is dedicated to the removal of risk. Cradle to grave we are supported, insulated, and isolated from the risks of life - and if we fail, our government stands ready with Bandaids of every size.
/Shirley Temple/

Miriam Makeba: It's a...

It's a really unfair world because life is, where I am; all day long we listen to American music. So I don't see why the radios in the U.S. cannot even put aside one hour a day just to play music that is not American.

Niccolò Machiavelli: A return...

A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example.
/Niccolò Machiavelli/

O, blest retirement! friend to life's decline -<BR>How blest is he who crowns, in shades like these,<BR>A youth of labor with an age of ease!

Hugh Mackay: Perhaps it's...

Perhaps it's the people whose lives have taken sudden new twists - people who have learned to embrace the creative possibilities of change - who stand the best chance of penetrating life's mysteries.

Anais Nin: If one's...

If one's conscious life is too rigid, too regimented, then the surface may crack at times, and we are unprepared for the strange emotions or sensations we experience.

I have a deep conviction that our lives are eternal, that it is waking and sleeping, that we are born together with the people we love lifetime after lifetime.

Primo Levi: Sooner or...

Sooner or later in life everyone discovers that perfect happiness is unrealizable, but there are few who pause to consider the antithesis: that perfect unhappiness is equally unattainable.
/Primo Levi/

Gabriela Sabatini: I think...

I think in the lifetime of a tennis player there are many times where you feel that tremendous confidence.
/Gabriela Sabatini/

Robert Brault: Why be...

Why be saddled with this thing called life expectancy? Of what relevance to an individual is such a statistic? Am I to concern myself with an allotment of days I never had and was never promised? Must I check off each day of my life as if I am subtracting from this imaginary hoard? No, on the contrary, I will add each day of my life to my treasure of days lived. And with each day, my treasure will grow, not diminish.
/Robert Brault/
