Hi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone had any inspiring quotes/sayings/poems or just any old phrases. I would love to hear them.
I am making an "Inspiration" book, and i could only think of a few.
Could anyone help me out? Maybe there was a phrase/poem/storey/saying that inspired you or helped you through the tough times...

Anything would be greatly appreciated!!

Brutal Truth

mmm

this is from a megadeth (dave mustaine) song called - loosing my sense

"Yesterday's answers has nothing to do
With today's questions

Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forwards."

this is form a cd he did when he got sober, which is very diferent to things he used to write in the past.

I can understar that about things I thought were answer, lets say drugs, are not answers for my today problems and that about life being understood in reverse, like we must not forget where we come from but should not dwell in the past and move foward.

just a piece of my thoughts

Go into Mis. and into poems, thoughts, quotes...there are some good one's in there. Some I have even printed and hung on my wall. I think it really helps with recovery. Thanx how are you doing? I see what you wrote yesterday and i am sorry but it's not the end of the world...keep your head up, be strong. 4 months now...i am one but i feel good.

Something that encourages me is two simple rules.
1. When you fall....get back up.
2. When you're up...offer a hand to the one thats fell.

and a couple other quotes that really help me are:

Are you earnest?
Then seize this very minute.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness
has genius, power, and magic in it. Only engage and then the mind grows heated;
only begin, and then the goal will be completed.
-Goethe


Think for yourself. No one else is qualified.
-Frank Vizarre

Reexamine all that you have been told, or read in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.
-Walt Whitman

Look the world straight in the eye.
-Helen Keller

We are the ones we have been waiting for.
-June Gordon

Moontime

Pleas by Widespread Panic
They say turn the bright lights on
And there you'll find the truth
Here, open up this book
And now you'll find the proof
It feels like a can of worms
Keep the lid on tight, and they say


Don't let it get too bright
Don't let it get too bright
Don't let it get too bright
No, not this time


They tell me it takes sorrow, boy
To help you feel the joy
They say it takes poverty
To let you love a toy
Now you can't have the good
Until you've shared the bad


Don't let it get too sad
Don't let it get too sad
Don't let it get too sad
No, not this time, time


They say it takes hardship, boy
To let you love the rest
Sometimes underneath the load
Is where I show my best
Go, put your work clothes on
Go and leave your mark
And they say


Don't let it get too dark
Don't let it get too dark
Don't let it get too dark
No, not this time


and I'm not Alone- Widespread Panic
I see what I do, first look at the phone
Turn on your TV
Unscrew a bottle of beer,
An orange square cellophane cheese
First I think of this, and then I turn to that
Maybe I just don't think
Might sing to this, I might sing to that
If I could only sing


Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone


There was a day when I was alone
A few sane days ago
There was a love I've been living with
That I lost on the way home
First I thought of this
And then I turn to that
And then I turn a little bit scared
Well, I feel a little bit easier
Knowing that you're here


Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone


First I think of this
Then I turn to that
Then I turn a little scared
I feel a little easier now
Knowing that you're all here


Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone
