"It is no little wisdom for a man to keep himself in silence and in good peace when evil words are spoken to him, and to turn his heart to God and not to be troubled with man's judgment." -Thomas A Kempis "It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others." -Saint John of the Cross |

Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love him as they love their cow...for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. -Meister Eckhart There is nothing so lovely and enduring in the regions which surround us, above and below, as the lasting peace of a mind centered in God. -Yoga Vasishtha Precious gems are profoundly buried in the earth and can only be extracted at the expense of great labor. -Anandamaya Ma I believe in person to person. Every person is Christ for me, and since there is only one Jesus, that person is the one person in the world at that moment. -Mother Teresa of Calcutta Reason is like an officer when the king appears. The officer then loses his power and hides himself. Reason is the shadow cast by God; God is the sun. -Jalaluddin Rumi |

The first half is finding out how you do it. And the second half is enjoying it." --Frances Lear "It is only the best fruit the birds pick at." --Betty Davis "Life itself is the proper binge." --Julia Child Be like a tree in pursuit of your cause.

If you want to make a change in the world make a change in yourself. Watch out what you ask for,because you might just get it. Two dead batteries will not jump start a car.

All of these are wonderful thoughts, quotes, poems, etc. It has helped by reading them and I would like to share one I heard today on Oprah... "Shame never creates change" - Dr. Robin Smith

Didn't read all 6 pages, so maybe these have been posted already, but 2 of my favs: "Change is inevitable, growth is optional" - I don't know who said this, just heard it this morning... "It is never too late to be what you might have been" - George Eliot |

~Never look down at a person unless your picking them up ~You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted ~An eye for an eye leads to blindness ~If you always do what you have always done you will always be where you are right now ~Life will teach you lessons its up to you to learn them ~Doing nothing in fear of making a mistake is the biggest mistake you will ever make |

| Remember......
When I am right, no one remembers! When I am wrong no one forgets. But it's not what they remember but what I allow my self to feel about what I think! Remember?  So go banana's and let themsplit!

If I have 1 foot in yesterday and 1 foot in the future, I am not living in today! There for living 1 day at a time would only be a hoax! Just Stay!

William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903 Invictus OUT of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul |

" A champion, when he fell, always got back up and tried even harder. He slowed down over the speed bumps and hit a pothole now and then, but each time, he kept going. He didn't care how bad it hurt or hard he had to try. Others, on the other hand, when they fell, stayed there. Maybe tried to get up and kept falling and didn't try to get up anymore. Stopped at the speed bumps and fell into the potholes. Quit when he hurt and was tired. If you want to be a champion, try and try again. Never let your hopes slip out of your hands."
