My Dad told me- "whenever I hear someone talking about someone else,(in the negitive sense) I don't know a thing about the person they're talking about-but I sure know something about the person who's talking!" BEST WISHES, ASHLOR |

Peace, Love everything I've read so far. Here's a couple of my favorite quotes: Do all the good you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all times you can, To all the people you can Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll still land among the stars. No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. And my all time favorite: Never buy a car you can't push!!!  Peace

| By Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Into his nest again, I shall not live in vain. No day is lived in vain, if I but cherish someone else's presence.  |

This is the second....

I will add one of my favorites, the other is in my quote "Love is indescribable and unconditional. I could tell you a thousand things that it is not, but not one that it is. Either you have it or you haven’t; there’s no proof of it. - Duke Ellington" Good idea for a thread!!!! Love reading these!

One of my favorite quotes is already posted the T. Edison one about not failing. I Like quotes a lot, great thread. I think I'll just leave this behind because i think it's cute. I have to decide which is my favorite quote. I'll be back Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "In as much as which?" --- and sometimes he didn't quite know what he _was_ thinking about. -- Eeyore confuses himself Winnie-the-Pooh, p. 39 |

My favorite quote for the last 23 days has been "Baby Steps will get me there". But I hope it's okay if I borrow Pony and Avie's "If you love something set it free. If it comes back, it was meant to be". I really like that one. Thanks for a great topic. |

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." ~Eleanor Roosevelt "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt "God's last name is not Damn" ~Bumper Sticker "If you're gonna be dumb, ya gotta be tough" ~Bumper Sticker "I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." ~Martha Washington (1732 - 1802) "Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." ~William James (1842 - 1910) "A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug." ~Patricia Neal "And so faith is closing your eyes and following the breath of your soul down to the bottom of life, where existence and nonexistence have merged into irrelevance. All that matters is the little part you play in the vast drama." Real Live Preacher, reallivepreacher.com weblog, September 4, 2003 "Bless the moment, trust yourself and expect the best" ~ unknown "I've arrived at this outermost edge of my life by my own actions. Where I am is thoroughly unacceptable. Therefore, I must stop doing what I've been doing." ~Alice Killer, An Unknown Woman, 1982 I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions. ~Dorothy Day (1897 - 1980), The Long Loneliness, 1952 "No possibility to feel happiness through anger. If in a difficult situation one becomes disturbed internally, overwhelmed by mental discomfort, then external things will not help at all. However, if despite difficulties or problems, internally one’s attitude is of love, warmth, and kindheartedness, then problems can be faced and accepted." ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama

This is one of my own..... Life is like a river, if it is not constantly flowing forward, it stagnates.
