Just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to be involved with them. Love is not a bandage to cover wounds.
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
The secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values.
Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.
Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.
Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.
Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.
When anger rises, think of the consequences.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I figure that's why my boyfriend moved ~ Christy Murphy. You can't buy love, but you can pay heavily for it. Love is a lot like a backache, it doesn't show up on X-rays, but you know it's there. You can't put a price tag on love, but you can on all its accessories. What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork. The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose. Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living! A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked. Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose. We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love. You are in my mind and always in my heart. Every time you come to my mind, I realize I'm smiling. Every time I see friends laughing, your name springs to my mind. Whenever I see a couple kissing or people holding hands, my heart whispers your name. The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs... one step at a time.

Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.
— Original author unknown, dates back to a World War II advisory.
Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular.
— Bruce Landsberg, Executive Director of the AOPA Air Safety Foundation.
Truly superior pilots are those who use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.
Flying is hours of boredom, punctuated by moments of stark terror.
That's not flying, that's just falling with style.
— Woody, from the 1996 movie 'Toy Story,' regarding Buzz Lightyear.
The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? —it is the same the angels breathe.
— Mark Twain, ‘Roughing It,’ Chapter XXII, 1886.

"The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20, has wasted 30 years of his life." -Muhammed Ali
"When you blame others, you give up your power to change." -Dr. Robert Anthony
"There's only one thing that can guarantee our failure, and that's if we quit." -Craig Breedlove
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." -Calvin Coolidge
"Anyone who has never made a mistake, has never tried anything." -Albert Einstein
"It's not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or whether the doer of deeds could have done them better...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust, and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and often comes up short again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause. And who, if at best in the end, knows the triumph of higher treatment and high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his soul shall never be with those cold and timid ones, who know neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt

"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough."
- Noah (The notebook)

"I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you've crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don't know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. And as for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something you have to define for yourself."
- Dr. Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy)

"At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them."

"Trials don't come to make us fall, but for us to look for GOD and call. Trials don't serve as key to hate, but rather doors to greater faith.."

There are so many excellent quotes, but the musicians have come out with some crackers.
Sir Thomas Beecham, the conductor, said to a lady cellist, "Madam, you have between your legs an instrument of great beauty which can give great pleasure to many, and all you can do is sit there and scratch the damned thing!"
================
Max Reger, the German composer, got quite a slating off a music critic; to which he replied:-
"Dear ????, I have before me your criticism, as I sit in the smallest room in the house. I am glad to say that it will shortly be behind me and forgotten!"
==================
Noel Coward was wonderfully pithy, when he replied to an actress appearing in a straight play on Broadway. Noel Coward was playing in one of his own comedies.
The lady said, "Oh Noel, I saw your play last night. Never laughed once my dear!"
Coward replied, "I saw yours too my dear....simply roared!"

some friendships quotes:
Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends.
Never explain--your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
It isn't kind to cultivate a friendship just so one will have an audience.
some motivational quotes:
For what I have received, may the Lord make me truly thankful. And more truly for what I have not received.
It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.
Fools admire, but men of sense approve.
You can talk about anything if you go about it the right way, which is never malicious.

When life hands you lemons, cut them neatly into wedges, and squirt them into the eyes of your enemies.
I'm Immortal, I'm Bored, Lets Party.
It is not what they call you, it is what you answer to.
Shoot straight you bastards, and don't make a mess of it,
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
The enemy is whoever will get you killed, no matter which side he's on.
Once the pin Is pulled, Mr. Grenade is no longer your friend.
I good plan, violently executed now, is better than the perfect plan tomorrow.
We who are about to die, will take as many of you with as we can.
Avoid overly pretentious Job titles, like; Lord of the Realm, Defender of the Faith, or Emperor of India.
Try to look unimportant, the bad guys may below on ammo.
