For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness. Ralph Waldo Emerson

~Leo Buscaglia

"Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present." -Katherine

"Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you. Like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly. You shouldn't have to wake up day after day after that, trying to understand how in the world you didn't know. The light just never went on, you know. I must have known, of course, but I was too scared to see the truth. Then fear just makes you so stupid." -Frances

While everyone else
Is so busy striving,
The lone traveler
Is at ease by himself.
He’s been living outside of convention
For a long time now;
In his pouch there is nothing at all.
When he walks,
He takes a cane for a companion;
When he talks,
He has the rocks for an audience.
If you ask him what his religion is,
When hungry it’s a bowl of rice.
--Wen-siang (1210-1280)

Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay a price to make them come true. ~ Anon.

Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another. ~Homer

Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempts to displayqualities which he does not possess, and to gain applause which hecannot keep. ~Samuel Johnson, The Rambler, 1750

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~e.e. cummings

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. ~Judy Garland
