"The entire secret of success with your emotions is this:

You feel good not because the world is right, but your
world is right because you feel good."

"You know the world is going crazy when the best
rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy,
France is accusing the US of arrogance and Germany
doesn't want to go to war."

Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone. - Horace (65-8 BC)

My grandmother used to say ~ "Men are like shadows...chase after them and

they come after you."

way again."

stuck by you shoulder to shoulder, in a time where nothing was certain, all
life lay ahead, and every road led home." - The Wonder Years

"Best friends hang tough. They don’t come with ‘Fragile’ stickers and are
not easily scared off, or ticked off. Best friends help you out whenever
they can, make time for you even when they don’t have any, and trust your
friendship enough to say ‘no’. Best friends are
cross-your-heart-and-hope-to-die, good-times-and-bad-times, borrow-anything,
tell-you-everything, trust-you-with-their-deepest-darkest-secrets,
always-and-forever friends."

If you aren't happy, you aren't really living. People say you should
judge whether or not you're alive by whether or not you're breathing,
but I disagree with that. I think, in order to judge if you are truly
alive, you must look at the moments in your life that have taken your
breath away.
~ Michele Metych

To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of
the human mind. To do anything that you want to do, that is the
strength of the human will. To trust yourself, to test your limits,
that is the courage to succeed.

The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you."

does."
-- Douglas Adams

"We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters,
your brothers, the school, the teachers - you can blame
anyone but never blame yourself. It's never your fault.
But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to
change, you're the one who has got to change. It's as
simple as that, isn't it?"
...... Katherine Hepburn

Courage is the art of being the only one who knows

have, and should have.

"Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid."
--John Wayne

"All your life
you are told the things you cannot do.
All your life they will say
you're not good enough or strong enough
or talented enough. They'll say you're the wrong height
or the wrong type to play this or be this
or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO,
a thousand times no until all the no's become meaningless.
All your life they will tell you no,
quite firmly and very quickly. They will tell you no.
And YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."

Live as if you'll die today."

"If you waste your days with your tongue silent,
You'll never know what it's like to talk,
If you keep your heart behind a wall,
You'll never know what it's like to love,
If you spend your life on the edge of the cliff,
You'll never know what it's like to fly." -Dan O'Shea

The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.

Scarecrow: I haven't got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy: How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.
--The Wizard of Oz

When you're little, you like to think you know everything, but the last thing you really want is to know too much. What you really want is for grown-ups to make the world a safe place where dreams can come true and promises are never broken. And when you're little, it doesn't seem like a lot to ask. -Taken

Sometimes the best way to move into the unknown is to take familiar steps, small steps. To do ordinary things to deal with something that is in no way ordinary. We're always going someplace new, all the time. Familiar things just let us pretend that we aren't moving into unfamiliar territory. You take those small familiar steps, and you try to be honest, not to live as if nothing had changed but still to go on with your life. But there are times when what you need is a piece of how things used to be. -Taken

My mom told me once that when you're afraid of something, what you want more than anything else is to make it go away. You want your life back to the way it was before you found out that there was something to be afraid of. You want to build a high wall and live your old life behind it. But nothing ever stays the same. That's not your old life at all. That's your new life with a wall around it. Your choice is not about going back to the way things were. Your choice is about hiding, or about going right to the heart of the thing that scares you. -Taken

Things never turn out exactly the way you planned. Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day your in diapers, the next your gone, but the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place, a house like alot of houses, a yard like a lot of yards, on a street like alot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years I still look back in wonder. -The Wonder Years

When you're a little kid you're a bit of everything; Scientist, Philosopher, Artist. Sometimes it seems like growing up is giving these things up one at a time. -The Wonder Years

"Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable." ~Wizard of Oz~

"All our young lives we search for someone to love, someone to make us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, someone perfect is searching for us." ~Fred Savage (Kevin Arnold), The Wonder Years~

Life lives, life dies. Life laughs, life cries.
Life gives up and life tries.
