Sometimes I'm glad I'm a packrat

[babysteps]

I just ran across a box of things I'd kept from high school. One of these things was a list of quotes I'd copied from a book of a friend. Being probably 15 at the time and giving no thought to “credit where credit is due”, I don't have who said these things, but I thought I would share, acknowledging they're borrowed


*There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.
-I love you outside the line of numbers.
-Every minute starts an hour.
*Stand still and look until you see
-If you have a weakness, make it work for you
-It is not impossible to walk on water
*Everybody’s friend is everybody’s fool
*It goes on
-Conquer your heart and you can become somebody
-Only one person in a thousand knows the trick of living in the present
-A man, sir, should keep his friendship in constant repair
*And what is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered
-Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm
*Do good and disappear
-You’ve got to keep fighting. You’ve got to risk it all every 6 months to keep alive.
-Lift where you stand
*Postpone not your life
-We must think anew and act anew
*Act as if it were impossible to fail
-If God shuts one door, he opens another
*When it’s dark enough, men see the stars
-Trouble makes us one with every human being in the world
-Nothing is wasted
-The world is a looking glass and gives back to each man his own reflection
*We are always getting ready to live, but never living

I just found it odd that the quotes I chose back then, almost 15 years ago, still fit today. Some mean more to me than others, but I included them all, without censoring myself.
