As the Greek said, many men know how to
flatter; few know to praise.
-- Wendell Phillips

"Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT."
-Nike ad

After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why
I have one.

We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self
may prove to be.

I have abandoned my search for truth and am now looking for a good fantasy.

10 Things I Hate About You

Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would
know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a
great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you
must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I
can clearly not choose the wine in front of me...
Vizzini (Wallace Shawn), The Princess Bride, 1987

" I've always believed that life is like a circle.
No matter how bad the bad things are,
the good things will come back around and will last for a longer time."

Never forget the power of silence, that massively disconcerting pause which
goes on and on and may at last induce an opponent to babble and backtrack
nervously.

Speak of me as I am....one that loved not wisely but too well.

"Friendship is like sitting on a swing in silence for hours,getting up
walking away and feeling like you have just had the best conversation ever"

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Practice makes perfect, but if nobody's perfect, why practice?

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance,
it is the illusion of knowledge.
- Daniel J. Boorstin

" Don't worry about what other people think because all that matters is your
happiness. Don't look for comebacks because your enemy will always have one
more waiting for you. Don't judge yourself by your face and especially what
others think. Judge yourself by the person you truly are. Think positive and
be happy. Don't try to be anything for anyone and don't try to reach a goal
for anyone but yourself. Be happy with who you are because the moment someone
sees you smile, what they really see is a good, confident, independent girl
and whether you believe it or not, that's what every girl would like to be."
