Be careful not to get lost in a mirage

Your only young once, but you can always be immature

If you’re not living life on the edge, you’re taking up too much space

Anyone who says sunshine is the only thing that brings happiness has never danced in the rain

Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke

We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
Tom Robbins


Life is short. You’re only young once, have fun, break the rules and get caught. Then do it all again.

Be happy with what you have; there’s someone in this world without it.

War costs too much peace is free

Why put your dress shoes on if you didn’t come to dance

Every song ends, but there’s no reason not to enjoy the music

Live as if you’ll die tomorrow dream as if you’ll live forever

Life’s not the amount of breaths you take; it’s the moments that take your breath away

Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development,
invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.
- Edgar Allen Poe

The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the
spell of the moment the eye of the body is not always that of the soul
- George Sand

It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work.
We must feel and be affected by it.
- Voltaire [Francois-Marie Arouet]

You can’t let your heart go bad like sour milk.
There is always a chance you’ll want to use it later.
-Barbra Kinsolver

Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built
- James Allen

Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
- Franz Kafka

Practice random beauty and senseless acts of love.
- Anonymous

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
- Anne Frank


The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched
They must be felt with the heart.
- Helen Keller
No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through tears.
- Unknown

Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips.
They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image
on men's souls, and a beautiful image it is.
- Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man
can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness;
looking for peace. They chase idle dreams,
addictions, religions, even other people, hoping
to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The
irony is the only place they ever needed to search
was within
- Ramona L. Anderson

Don't expect to learn about people from books; a
person can't fit in a bookcase.

Ten out of ten people die, so don't take life too
seriously.

When the world comes to an end, it will do so
without my permission.

We're all here because we're not all here.

I actually have many favourites. I'll just list what I remember:

1. Quitters never win; Winners never quit.
2. Action speaks louder than words.
3. A leader is made, not born.
4. No man is an island.
5. Art is man's nature; Nature is God's art.
6. Leadership is an action, not a position.
The next 2 quotes were developed by I.
1.Knock before you open; open and you shall be knocked.
2. How can you face the problem, when the problem is your face?
This one is my favourite:
"He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose."

May you be satisfied with my answer. Thank you.

"Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg!

Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!" - Louis Tully
