Quotes

I think that that Eleanor Roosevelt quote is quite good, Butterfly Faerie. It comes in many guises though, and is one of the best pieces of advice: Face your fears.

I'm nostalgic for conversations I had yesterday. I've begun reminiscing events before they even occur. I'm reminiscing this right now. I can't go to the bar because I've already looked back on it in my memory... and I didn't have a good time. - Max, Kicking and Screaming

I've always loved it... there's a lot of messages in that quote I think...

“I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.”

“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”

“It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.”

“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”

The quotes I've chosen, probably not as inspiring as they could be...but I agree with each one wholeheartedly. They are not mine, btw.

If you could send that to every world leader - and get them to believe it - then the world would be much better. However (and unfortunately), many ignorant people occupy the leadership positions of various nations on Earth.

That is absolutely true.

"If by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties....if that is what they mean by a liberal then I am proud to be a liberal." ~President John F. Kennedy

"No law or ordinance is mightier than understanding." ~Plato

QuietStorm:

I didn't come up with them. A couple I found on the internet and the other one off of a sign in my town. I like them all. Thought I'd share them

"My wife was afraid of the dark... then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light"

"My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive"

I forget who write this, but I like it...


We enjoy warmth because we have been cold.
We appreciate light because we have been in darkness.
By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness.
