We are each of us angels with only one wing.
And we can fly only by
embracing each other.

-Luciano de Crescenzo

The purpose of life is to matter-
to count
to stand for something
to have it make some difference that
we lived at all.

-Leo Rosten

In a world where death is the hunter, my friend,
there is no time for regrets or doubts.
There is only time for decisions.

-Carlos Castaneda

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness,
and the word "happiness" would lose its meaning
if it were not balanced by sadness.

-Carl Jung

Death is a very positive force because it tells me I have limited time.
No one will get out of this world alive.
But there are some of us who actually believe we will.
We act as if we have forever! "I've always wanted to climb a mountain..I'll do it tomorrow".
You may not.

-Leo Buscaglia

Notice the difference between what happens
when a man says to himself
"I have failed three times"
and what happend when he says
"I am a failure".

-S.I Hayakawa

Que sera, sera
is a lovely song
but a lousy philosophy.
Nothing worthwhile
was ever accomplished by anybody
who met life with a shrug.
Instead your motto should be:
"Que quiero sera"
Whatever I will, will be.

-Edwin C. Bliss

If you have built
castles in the air,
your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be.
Now put the foundations
under them!

-Henry David Thoreau

The worst thing
you can possibly do
is worry about what you could have done.

-Lichtenberg

Those who know
do not say.
Those who say
do not know.

-Lao Tzu

What is right for one soul
may not be right for another.
It may mean having to stand on your own
and do something strange in the eyes of others.
But do not be daunted.
Do whatever it is because
you know within it is
right for you...

-Eileen Caddy

We outgrow people, places,
and things as we unfold.
We may be saddened when
old friends say their piece
and leave our lives...but
let them go.
They were at a different stage...
and looking in a different direction.

-Kristin Zambucka

Live
as you will have
wished to have lived
when you are dying.

-Gellert

The greatest achievement was
at first and for a time a dream.
The oak sleeps in the acorn.
The bird waits in the egg.
And in the highest vision
of a soul, a waking angel stirs.
Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

-James Allen

Some people
walk in the rain.
Others just get wet.

-Roger Miller
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women,
merely players;
They have their exits
and their entrances.
And one man in his time
plays many parts.

-Shakespeare

At any moment
I could start being a
better person-
but which moment should I choose?

-Ashleigh Brilliant

However many holy word you read,
however may you speak,
What good will they do you
if you do not act upon them?

-The Dhammapada

Come to the edge, he said.
They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, he said.
They came.
He pushed them...and they flew.

-Gullaume Apollinaire
