Beauty Fades..Dumb is forever
Have a seat . . relax . . . and read this slowly. This sums it all up
I believe. . . that just because two people argue, it doesn't
mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I believe. . . that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I believe....that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe. . . that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I believe. . . that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I believe. . . that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe. . . that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I believe. . . that you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I believe. . . that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I believe. . . that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I believe. . . that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I believe. . . that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe. . . that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I believe. . . that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
I believe. . . that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I believe. . . that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I believe . . . that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe . . . that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I believe . . . that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I believe. . . that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
I believe. . . two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I believe. . . that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I believe . . . that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.
I believe. . . that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I believe. . . that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
I believe. . . that you should send this to all of the people that you believe in... I just did
when you find a friend, you find a treasure

I am poison. I can heal you. I won’t kill you but I might watch you die. So I refuse to consent to your wishes.
There are a lot of people in the world that just look at the face value of people and things. There really are no words I can say to really tell you who I am. It’s you’re choice to try to get to know me, and it’s my decision on whether or not to let you get to know me. Face value is surface deep. Words are limitless... but truthful words are limited. There are only so many words I can use to tell you about me. Actions are limitless, that’s the only truthful way to get to know me. Here are my limited words: I am who I am.
I'm upbeat and easy going; some times I have too much energy. I tend to be pretty much happy at the all times. When things get stressful I tend to just lay back and take a deep breath, close my eyes for a couple of seconds, open them and smile. Being happy is a very natural choice for me and I choose it each day and choose friends who are the same. I love my friends. I have a lot of people I know, and a lot I run with, but few are who I call friends and the ones I have I cherish. They inspire me and I try to do the same for them and always be loyal them no matter what. When it's all over and you're being met by those who have crossed before you, it doesn't matter how much money you made, or what position you held, but who you've become within your self. For awhile I was too dam serious then I became too dam silly but I finally found the middle of it I’m now seriousilly lol.
"It’s the friends you can call up at four a.m. that matter.
" Marlene Dietrich
I hope I am the type my family and friends think of at four a.m.
It's Better
Arundhati RoyBertrand
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget."
Albert Einstein
A human being is part of a whole,
called by us_universe_’
apart limited in time and space.
he experiences himself,
his thoughts and feelings
As something separated from the rest…
a kind of optical delusion
of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few
persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves
From this prison by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature in its beauty”
George Lawrence-Ell
But an accurate definition of the self is impossible. You are more than you realize, more than you can define. And the more time you spend trying to nail down the definition, the less time you spend living right now. Your past is not your identity. You, living now, is your identity.
Bertrand Russell
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons
Goethe
One cannot always be a hero
but one can always be a human
He who possesses art and science
has religion
he who does not possess them
needs religion
The human mind
will not be confined to any limits
Immanuel Kant
Enlightenment is man's emergence from
his self-incurred immaturity.
Immaturity is the inability
to use one's own understanding
without the guidance of another.
This immaturity is self-incurred
if its cause is not lack of understanding
but lack of resolution and courage to use it
without the guidance of another.
Erich Fromm
Understanding a person does not mean condoning
it only means that one does not accuse him as
if one were God or a judge placed above him.
Immature love says:
'I love you because I need you'
Mature love says:
'I need you because I love you'
Voltaire
say, "Believe as I do or I shall assassinate you".
It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere.
As long as people believe in absurdities.
they will continue to commit atrocities.
Ghandi
As soon as we lose the moral basis
we cease to be religious
There is no such thing as religion
over-riding morality.
Man, for instance
cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent
and claim to have God on his side.
These are good too!
The greatest thing is, at any moment, to be willing to give up who we are in order to become all that we can be.
There's always something waiting at the end of the road. If you're not willing to see what it is you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place.
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me".
Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.
But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. You have ONE advantage over me.....you can kiss my ass and I can't!!
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.
