There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought.

As the Yiddish expression says, If God lived on earth, people would break his window.

That is a beautiful quote Crystal......I love quotes, I sit an dread them alot. I used to big books of quotes, got left in Texas, plan on buying more to start my collection, I can find so many on the internet...but there's somethinga bout a book in my hands that makes it more enjoyable...

Here's one I like:

Hell would be if God were
to show me things I could
have accomplished if only
I had believed in myself.~Unknown

There are many wonderful
things that will never be done
if you do not do them. ~Charles D. Gill

I am not going to die, I'm going home
like a shooting star.~Sojourner Truth

We are not here merely
to make a living. We are
here to enrich the world with
a finer spirit of hope and
achievement-and we
impoverish ourselves if
we forget the errand.~Woodrow Wilson

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.


Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.


Maybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.


No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.


Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened

Two things I know about God.

There is one.

It aint me.

[Ann]

I love this thread, and there are so many sayings that I like, but I think my favourite is "What is impossible for man, is possible for God". Also, something my mother had on her kitchen wall..."You've got to have a dream before it can come true."

[Gabe]

Thank you Ann.
I had forgotten about that one.
Dreams can't come true unless you believe in them.
Sometimes I shut my imagination down...right when I should be firing it up.
Peace,
Gabe

“The easiest thing in the world is to be you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don’t let them put you in that position.�

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

In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.

When you spend your life worrying about how other people feel, you lose track of how you feel.
--Unknown

All that's neccesary for the forces of evil to win in this world is for enough good people to do nothing!
