"it is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbour"
'a open mind is all very well in its way,but it ought not to be so open that there is no keeping anything in or out of it. it should be capable of shutting its doors sometimes,or it may be found a little draughty."

Some lessons in logic...
â¼ I was born intelligent - education ruined me.
â¼ Practice makes perfect... but nobody's perfect... so why practice?
â¼ If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
â¼Since light travels faster than sound, people appear bright until you hear them speak.
â¼How come "abbreviated" is such a long word?
â¼Money is not everything. There's MasterCard & Visa.
â¼Every man should marry. After all, happiness is not the only thing
in life.
â¼The wise never marry; and when they marry they become otherwise.
â¼Success is a relative term. It brings so many relatives.
â¼Never put off the work till tomorrow what you can put off today.
â¼"Your future depends on your dreams". So go to sleep.
â¼There should be a better way to start a day than waking up every morning.
â¼"Hard work never killed anybody" but why take the risk?
â¼"Work fascinates me" - I can look at it for hours!
â¼God made relatives; thank God we can choose our friends.
â¼The more you learn, the more you know; the more you know, the more
you forget; the more you forget, the less you know; so.. why learn.
Regards,

Here's some. Dont know how helpful they will be though....
The spider's touch, how exquisitely fine! Feels at each thread, and lives along the line.
Being on the tightrope is living; everything else is waiting.
There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
The heights by great men reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but oft times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one, which has been opened for us.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
Don't count the years - count the memories!
Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
The ability to see beauty is the beginning of our moral sensibility. What we believe is beautiful we will not wantonly destroy.

“If you can't, you must. If you must, you can.” - Anthony Robbins
“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.”
"Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive"
“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.”
“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”
“Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.”
“I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”
“I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.”
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.”
“Success is achieved by developing our strengths, not by eliminating our weaknesses”
“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”
"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it."
“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity.”
“Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he should be, and he will become what he could be.”
“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.”
“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.”
“Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over.”
“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.”
“No man is worth your tears, but once you find one that is, he won't make you cry”
“Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.”

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure--which is:
Try to please everybody.
Herbert Bayard Swope
Success is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration.
Evan Esar
Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.
Karen Ravn
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
Thomas Merton
American Author, Monk and Mystic

Here are a few of my personal favorites:
When both feet are planted firmly, nothing can shake you.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.

It is love ..it is love that makes the world go round.
The lesson that we learn from history is that we never learn from history.
I fall upon the thorns of life; i bleed.
Child is the father of man.
To me, the meanest flower can give thoughts, that lie too deep for tears.
God helps those who help themselves.

Charm... I'ts a sort of bloom on a woman. If you have it, you don't need to have anything else; and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have. J.M. Barrie 1860-1937.

How wrong it is for a woman to expect a man to create the world she wants rather than to create it herself.
