It does. <hr /> Act in the valley so that you need not fear those who stand on the hill. <hr /> Act the way that the people around you are acting. <hr /> Actions speak louder than words. <hr /> Advice should be viewed from behind. <hr /> Advice when most needed is least heeded. <hr /> After shaking hands with a Greek, count your fingers. <hr /> Age is honorable and youth is noble. <hr /> All I wish for you is happiness. May the smile on your lips never fade! <hr /> All is well that ends well. <hr /> All journeys never stop. <hr /> All royals are addicted to gold. <hr /> All things grow with time, except grief. <hr /> Always be fair and generous. <hr /> Always be honest. <hr /> Always be kind and do not harm others. <hr /> Always desire to learn something useful. <hr /> Always follow your heart to be successful. <hr /> Always put your best foot forward. <hr /> Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. <hr /> Ambition has one heel nailed in well, though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens. <hr /> Among the chosen, you are the lucky ones. <hr /> An angry man is not fit to pray. <hr /> An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox. <hr /> An apple a day keeps the doctor away. <hr /> An ass in Germany is a professor in Rome. <hr /> An empty vessel makes much noise. <hr /> An enemy will agree, but a friend will argue. <hr /> An Englishman will burn his bed to catch a flea. <hr /> An ox remains an ox, even if driven to Vienna. <hr /> An unexamined life is not worth living. <hr /> And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins. <hr /> And old rat is a brave rat. <hr /> Angels always love you. <hr /> Anger can be an expensive luxury. <hr /> Anger is as a stone cast into a wasp's nest. <hr /> Anger without power is folly. <hr /> Appetite comes with eating. <hr /> Are you asking for a favor? Better give a beggar whatever he asks you. <hr /> Are you crazy, are you out of your mind? <hr /> As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. <hr /> As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. <hr /> As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you; in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort. <hr /> As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. <hr /> As mad as a March hare. <hr /> As proud as a peacock. <hr /> As sluttish and slatternly as an Irishwoman bred in France. <hr /> As the best wine makes the sharpest vinegar, the truest lover may turn into the worst enemy. <hr /> As the big hound is, so will the pup be. <hr /> As we live, so we learn. <hr /> As you sow, so you shall reap. <hr /> Ask the angels for advice and the monkeys come out of the sleeves. <hr /> Ask the angels to inspire to think about what to do next. <hr /> Bananas are not straight and the earth is not flat. <hr /> Be a rainbow in someone’s cloud. <hr /> Be careful and proceed following your heart without caution. <hr /> Be careful as the best swimmers drown. <hr /> Be content with what you have. <hr /> Be glad, you are not perfect. <hr /> Be happy! She did not fall on your money. <hr /> Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. <hr /> Be kind to yourself. <hr /> Be kind to yourself and do not deceive yourself. <hr /> Be like a mountain and flow like a great river. <hr /> Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy. <hr /> Be patient. Eventually something good will happen to you. <hr /> Be quiet as inaccuracy causes tons of explanation. <hr /> Be the right one who comes at the right time. <hr /> Be what you are and do the things you love to do. <hr /> Be your own idol. <hr /> Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. <hr /> Beauty is in the eye of the heart. <hr /> Become what you love at most. <hr /> Beggars shouldn't be choosers. <hr /> Believe those who are seeking the truth. <hr /> Believe what you see, love to feel. <hr /> Best things in life are free. <hr /> Better act now and follow the advice of the angels than never. <hr /> Better give a penny then lend twenty. <hr /> Better late than never. <hr /> Better long-haired than short-sighted. <hr /> Better no doctor at all than three. <hr /> Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace. <hr /> Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know. <hr /> Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. <hr /> Better wear out shoes than sheets. <hr /> Between the devil and the deep blue sea. <hr /> Beware of a silent dog and still water. <hr /> Birds of a feather flock together. <hr /> Black as hell, strong as death, sweet as love. (About coffee.) <hr /> Blood is thicker than water. <hr /> Both your friend and your enemy think you will never die. <hr /> Break your routine and fly with the winds of love. <hr /> Butter would not melt in her mouth. <hr /> Buy good tools to make your job much easier. <hr /> By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fall. <hr /> Call on God, but row away from the rocks. <hr /> Care and collaboration, young and old, build life’s meaningful cornerstone. <hr /> Changes can be boring. <hr /> Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. <hr /> Children are poor men's riches. <hr /> Children observe daily and — in their behaviour — should follow the example of the angels. <hr /> Children should be seen and not heard. <hr /> Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old. <hr /> Choose neither a woman nor linen by candlelight. <hr /> Climb mountains to see lowlands. <hr /> Clogs to clogs in three generations. <hr /> Clouds gather before a storm. <hr /> Commit a sin twice and it will not seem a crime. <hr /> Compassionate toward yourself. <hr /> Could you explain the feeling? <hr /> Creation’s mystery unfolds in love’s unceasing gentle tide. <hr /> Creation’s pulse, through love’s clear sight, reveals the universe’s light. <hr /> Creation’s spark, through love’s pure lens, reveals life’s sacred essence. <hr /> Creativity is intelligence having fun. <hr /> Curiosity killed the cat. <hr /> Darkness reigns at the foot of the lighthouse. <hr /> Deal with the faults of others as gently as with your own. <hr /> Death always comes too early or too late. <hr /> Death closes all doors. <hr /> Death pays all debts. <hr /> Determine your priorities and focus on them. <hr /> Did hogs feed here or did Lithuanians have a feast here? <hr /> Different people have different ideas about what is valuable. <hr /> Different people have different ideas about what's beautiful. <hr /> Difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small. <hr /> Dig the well before you are thirsty. <hr /> Dig the well before you are thirsty but do not drive after you leave the bar. <hr /> Discretion is the better part of valor. <hr /> Do important things for yourself. <hr /> Do not ask your friends what to do if you cannot handle the truth. <hr /> Do not be born good or handsome, but be born lucky. <hr /> Do not be stupid, a child can do your laundry. <hr /> Do not bite into the hand that feeds you. <hr /> Do not blame God for having created the tiger, but thank him for not having given it wings. <hr /> Do not count your chickens before they hatch. <hr /> Do not do mean things to people. <hr /> Do not do mean things to people. Love yourself and do not let others harm you. <hr /> Do not fall before you are pushed. <hr /> Do not judge a book by its cover. <hr /> Do not judge yourself and the universe. <hr /> Do not lie, believe in yourself! <hr /> Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped. <hr /> Do not pay a lot for the best seats in the house but enjoy the world for free. <hr /> Do not rejoice at my grief, for when mine is old, yours will be new. <hr /> Do not speak of secrets in a field that is full of little hills. <hr /> Do not talk Arabic in the house of a Moor. <hr /> Do not trust other people to do important things for you. <hr /> Do not try to improve something that already works fairly well. <hr /> Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from your friend's forehead. <hr /> Do not wait for opportunity. Create it. <hr /> Do not worry, just focus on the good results. <hr /> Do nothing is sometimes a good remedy. <hr /> Do the things you know, and you shall learn the truth you need to know. <hr /> Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. <hr /> Does anyone know where my dentures have gone? <hr /> Don’t act as a fool like a voice crying out in the wilderness. <hr /> Don’t blame chickens. <hr /> Don’t let the iron burn your house. <hr /> Don’t stop when you’re tired. Stop when you’re done. <hr /> Don’t criticize other people if you’re not perfect yourself. <hr /> Drain the swamp. <hr /> Dream well of me tonight! <hr /> Early birds catch the worms. <hr /> Easy come, easy go. <hr /> Eat well, drink in moderation, and sleep sound, in these three good health abound. <hr /> Elvis lives and is now singing in a retirement home. <hr /> Enjoy that beautiful blue sky! <hr /> Epigrams succeed where epics fail. <hr /> Even a small experience of altruism brings a measure of mental peace right away. <hr /> Even a small thorn causes festering. <hr /> Every ass loves to hear himself bray. <hr /> Every cloud has a silver lining. <hr /> Every dog has his bark. <hr /> Every dog hath its day. <hr /> Every garden may have some weeds. <hr /> Everyone has a scheme that will work. <hr /> Everyone is kneaded out of the same dough but not baked in the same oven. <hr /> Everyone loves justice in the affairs of another. <hr /> Everyone pushes a falling fence. <hr /> Everything you can imagine is real. <hr /> Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree. <hr /> Evil is sooner believed than good. <hr /> Expectation is the root of all heartache. <hr /> Experience is a comb which nature gives to men when they are bald. <hr /> Fame is a magnifying glass. <hr /> Familiarity breeds contempt. <hr /> Feather by feather the goose can be plucked. <hr /> Feel the sense of compassion as the most precious thing there is. <hr /> Feel your heart beating with love. <hr /> Find hope in the darkest of days and focus in the brightest. <hr /> Fine feathers make fine birds. <hr /> Flattery makes friends and truth makes enemies. <hr /> Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. <hr /> Fortune favors the bold. <hr /> Fortune is a woman; if you neglect her today do not expect to regain her tomorrow. <hr /> Fortune is blind, but not invisible. <hr /> Friends are like fiddle strings, they must not be screwed too tight. <hr /> Friends are lost by calling often and calling seldom. <hr /> Friendship is a furrow in the sand. <hr /> From heart’s deep well, compassion flows, where true abundance grows. <hr /> From love’s deep root, all goodness grows, in earth’s and heaven’s glow. <hr /> Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration. <hr /> Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever. <hr /> Give neither counsel nor salt till you are asked for it. <hr /> Give the devil his due. <hr /> Glutton: one who digs his grave with his teeth. <hr /> God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers. <hr /> God gives the nuts, but he doesn't crack them. <hr /> God heals, and the physician takes the fee. <hr /> God help the rich man, let the poor man beg! <hr /> God help the rich, the poor can look after themselves. <hr /> God helps those who help themselves. <hr /> God is good, but never dance in a small boat. <hr /> Going to law is losing a cow for the sake of a cat. <hr /> Gold may serve material needs, yet lacks the soul’s true essence. <hr /> Good advice is often annoying, bad advice never. <hr /> Good as drink is, it ends in thirst. <hr /> Good luck beats early rising. <hr /> Good things come to those who wait. <hr /> Gray hairs are death's blossoms. <hr /> Great acts are made up of small deeds. <hr /> Great things never come from comfort zones. <hr /> Half a loaf is better than none. <hr /> Happiness comes through taming the mind. <hr /> Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to others. <hr /> Haste makes waste. <hr /> Hate cannot drive out hate but only by love. <hr /> Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule. <hr /> Have a backup plan. <hr /> Have a horse of your own and then you may borrow another's. <hr /> Have desires like everyone. <hr /> He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. <hr /> He is not wise that is not wise for himself. <hr /> He lied like an eyewitness. <hr /> He makes his home where the living is best. <hr /> He that can't endure the bad will not live to see the good. <hr /> He that is born to be hanged shall never be drowned. <hr /> He that is rich will not be called a fool. <hr /> He that lives on hope will die fasting. <hr /> He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. <hr /> He that marries for money will earn it. <hr /> He that plants thorns must never expect to gather roses. <hr /> He that seeks trouble never misses. <hr /> He that spareth his rod hateth his son. <hr /> He that winna be ruled by the rudder maun be ruled by the rock. <hr /> He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever. <hr /> He who cannot agree with his enemies is controlled by them. <hr /> He who comes with a story to you brings two away from you. <hr /> He who could foresee affairs three days in advance would be rich for thousands of years. <hr /> He who does not know one thing knows another. <hr /> He who does not trust enough will not be trusted. <hr /> He who gets a name for early rising can stay in bed until midday. <hr /> He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything. <hr /> He who has once burnt his mouth always blows his soup. <hr /> He who holds the ladder is as bad as the thief. <hr /> He who knows nothing, doubts nothing. <hr /> He who laughs last, laughs longest. <hr /> He who leaps high must take a long run. <hr /> He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount. <hr /> He who serves two masters has to lie to one. <hr /> He who sups with the devil has need of a long spoon. <hr /> He who talks about peace sooner goes to war. <hr /> He who would climb the ladder must begin at the bottom. <hr /> He who would eat in Spain must bring his kitchen along. <hr /> He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star. <hr /> Hearts aligned in kindness forge a world of endless radiant peace. <hr /> Heaven lent you a soul Earth will lend a grave. <hr /> Help the poor to spend everything if there is no tomorrow. <hr /> Honesty is the best policy. <hr /> Honesty is the first chapter of your book of wisdom. <hr /> Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. <hr /> How many will listen to the truth when you tell them? <hr /> Humanity is the measure of all things. <hr /> Hygiene is two thirds of health. <hr /> I appreciate all of your opinions. <hr /> I believe in you! <hr /> If a man be great, even his dog will wear a proud look. <hr /> If a man deceives me once, shame on him; if he deceives me twice, shame on me. <hr /> If all pulled in one direction, the world would keel over. <hr /> If God lived on earth, people would break his windows. <hr /> If I know what love is, it is because of you. <hr /> If it is not broke, do not fix it. <hr /> If rich people could hire other people to die for them, the poor could make a wonderful living. <hr /> If the patient dies, the doctor has killed him, but if he gets well, the saints have saved him. <hr /> If the plan doesn’t work, change the plan, but never the goal. <hr /> If there is something to gain and nothing to lose by asking, by all means ask! <hr /> If two men ride a horse, one must ride behind. <hr /> If you are not strong, you have to be clever and follow the advice your heart. <hr /> If you believe everything you read, better not read. <hr /> If you bow at all bow low. <hr /> If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. <hr /> If you do not sow in the spring you will not reap in the autumn. <hr /> If you do not trust you will not be trusted. <hr /> If you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others. <hr /> If you focus only on yourself and neglect others you will lose. <hr /> If you have peanuts, watch the monkeys. <hr /> If you help someone, the angels will return the favor. <hr /> If you like freedom, do not marry. <hr /> If you love him, don't lend him. <hr /> If you need time, do not watch the clock and act with love, because it will seem like it is taking forever. <hr /> If you play with ice, you’ll freeze. <hr /> If you scramble about in search of inner peace, you will lose your inner peace. <hr /> If you take big paces you leave big spaces. <hr /> If you think that you are not going forward, choose the right direction. <hr /> If you want blame, marry. <hr /> If you want others to be happy, practice kindness and compassion. <hr /> If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. <hr /> If you want to be criticized, marry. <hr /> If you want to be happy, practice compassion. <hr /> If you wish to die young, make your physician your heir. <hr /> If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words. <hr /> Ignorance is bliss. <hr /> Improve yourself with patience. <hr /> In a calm sea every man is a pilot. <hr /> In a gentle way, you shake the world. <hr /> In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. <hr /> In America half an hour is forty minutes. <hr /> In baiting a mousetrap with cheese, always leave room for the mouse. <hr /> In giving freely, heart to heart, true riches find their start. <hr /> In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek. <hr /> In love’s embrace, all barriers fall, uniting souls in cosmic thrall. <hr /> In love’s warm embrace, from heart’s sweet fire, true riches brightly bloom. <hr /> In order to keep your balance, you must keep moving. <hr /> In sharing joy, we find the wealth that time can never dim. <hr /> In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. <hr /> Instinct is stronger than upbringing. <hr /> Into every life sun shines and rains will fall. <hr /> It all depends upon how you adjust yourself. <hr /> It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop. <hr /> It is a bad hen that does not scratch herself. <hr /> It is a bold mouse that nestles in the cat's ear. <hr /> It is a long road that has no turning. <hr /> It is an equal failing to trust everybody, and to trust nobody. <hr /> It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good. <hr /> It is better to be a male for one day than a female for ten. <hr /> It is better to be born a beggar than a fool. <hr /> It is better to be in good company. <hr /> It is better to conceal one's knowledge than to reveal one's ignorance. <hr /> It is better to exist unknown to the law. <hr /> It is better to prevent than to heal. <hr /> It is better to save money like there is no tomorrow. <hr /> It is better to share than to receive. <hr /> It is hard to pay for bread that has been eaten. <hr /> It is important to know when to give up instead of always acting brave and maybe getting hurt. <hr /> It is not a secret if it is known by three people. <hr /> It is not enough to run, one must start in time. <hr /> It is not fish until it is on the bank. <hr /> It is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats. <hr /> It is sweet to drink but bitter to pay for. <hr /> It is the good horse that draws its own cart. <hr /> It is the quiet pigs that eat the meal. <hr /> It takes time to build castles. Rome was not built in a day. <hr /> It is your reaction to the situation so think twice before you act. <hr /> It takes two to make a quarrel. <hr /> It’s best to do something on time. <hr /> It’s not a matter of upper and lower class but of being up a while and down a while. <hr /> Jobs and projects should have one or two strong leaders. <hr /> Joy shared freely kindles light that gold can never hope to spark. <hr /> Just do the right thing in your affairs; the rest will take care of itself. <hr /> Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come. <hr /> Keep a thing for seven years and you'll find a use for it. <hr /> Keep up the good work and that is what counts! <hr /> Kill not the goose that lays the golden eggs. <hr /> Lack of resource has hanged many a person. <hr /> Last ship, best ship. <hr /> Laughter is a good medicine. <hr /> Laws control the lesser man. Right conduct controls the greater one. <hr /> Learn to understand each other’s values. The greater will be our mutual respect. <hr /> Lend your money and lose your friend. <hr /> Let sleeping dogs lie. <hr /> Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. <hr /> Let the machine do the dirty work. <hr /> Life at any time can become difficult: life at any time can become easy. <hr /> Life belongs to the living, and those who live must be prepared for change. <hr /> Life is a bridge. Cross over it, but build no house on it. <hr /> Life is a long lesson in humility. <hr /> Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. <hr /> Life is not about getting and having, it is about loving, giving, and being. <hr /> Life is the flower for which love is the honey. <hr /> Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. <hr /> Life without a friend is death without a witness. <hr /> Life’s beauty, rooted in love’s deeds, transcends all words’ frail bounds. <hr /> Life’s fleeting dance calls us to cherish love’s eternal vibrant chance. <hr /> Life’s sacred bond, through love’s true aim, lights paths no gold can claim. <hr /> Like a fish out of water. <hr /> Like a lame man's legs that hang limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool. <hr /> Listen to the birds singing so beautifully. <hr /> Listen to the songs of your heart. <hr /> Listen to the sound of the river and you will get a trout. <hr /> Listen to your heart. <hr /> Listening to smooth music helps you relax better. <hr /> Little by little, the bird makes its nest. <hr /> Little pitchers have big ears. <hr /> Little things make big days. <hr /> Live and learn to let live. <hr /> Live with wolves, and you learn to howl. <hr /> Look before you leap. <hr /> Look down if you would know how high you stand. <hr /> Love and health, life’s joyful pillars, no coin can ever buy. <hr /> Love and insight, shared in truth, forge futures bright with hope. <hr /> Love enters a man through his eyes, woman through her ears. <hr /> Love is all that matters. <hr /> Love is all you need to share. <hr /> Love is the answer to all questions. <hr /> Love knows no lies, love is the truth. <hr /> Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass. <hr /> Love of money is the root of evil. <hr /> Love your complexity. <hr /> Love your neighbors, but don't pull down the fence. <hr /> Love, a miracle true, shines in eyes and blooms like earth’s endless sky. <hr /> Love, pain, and money cannot be kept secret; they soon betray themselves. <hr /> Love’s boundless gift outshines all wealth in earth’s celestial hymn. <hr /> Love’s endless bloom, like stars above, weaves life’s eternal love. <hr /> Love’s gentle release dissolves all barriers of the heart. <hr /> Love’s gentle touch transforms the heart, where true eternity begins. <hr /> Love’s radiant path, through heart’s true quest, leads to life’s eternal rest. <hr /> Love’s radiant truth binds earth and sky in endless harmony’s embrace. <hr /> Love’s selfless acts ignite the world with hope’s unending flame. <hr /> Loved you yesterday, love you still, always have, always will. <hr /> Luck has a slender anchorage. <hr /> Make hay while the sun shines. <hr /> Mankind fears an evil man but heaven does not. <hr /> Many a friend was lost through a joke, but none was ever gained so. <hr /> Marriages are made in heaven. <hr /> Mastering yourself takes time. <hr /> Men count up the faults of those who keep them waiting. <hr /> Mere words do not feed the friars. <hr /> More grows in the garden than the gardener knows he has sown. <hr /> Moral ethics are the basis of world peace. <hr /> Mortality’s truth stirs the heart to seize life’s boundless creative spark. <hr /> Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine. <hr /> Most people exist, that is all. Be one of the people who live. <hr /> My dog is drinking martini cause he does not like cola. <hr /> My good wishes are always with you. Go for it. <hr /> My mind is racing, but my heart makes me feel how much I love you. <hr /> Nature breaks through the eyes of the cat. <hr /> Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. <hr /> Necessity is the mother of invention. <hr /> Necessity knows no law. <hr /> Necessity never made a good bargain. <hr /> Never cut what can be untied. <hr /> Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game. <hr /> Never let your emotions overpower your intelligence. <hr /> Never look a gift horse in the mouth. <hr /> Never love with all your heart, it only ends in breaking. <hr /> Never marry for money. Ye'll borrow it cheaper. <hr /> Never mind your happiness and do your duty. <hr /> Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today. <hr /> Never regret anything that made you smile. <hr /> Night is the mother of council. <hr /> No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. <hr /> No doctrine’s might can match the heart’s sincere and loving light. <hr /> No force or law can bind the soul like love’s unyielding gentle call. <hr /> No jab can make the flu go away. <hr /> No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined. <hr /> No man is an island. <hr /> No man limps because another is hurt. <hr /> No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. <hr /> No one gets wise without damage and shame. <hr /> No one saves us but ourselves. <hr /> No rose without a thorn, or a love without a rival. <hr /> No soul foresees their final day, nor rises from death’s silent sway. <hr /> No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. <hr /> No time like the present. <hr /> No vault or throne can match the glow of happiness in shared delight. <hr /> Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. <hr /> Not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. <hr /> Not the cry, but the flight of the wild duck, leads the flock to fly and follow. <hr /> Not wine...men intoxicate themselves; Not vice...men entice themselves. <hr /> Nothing dries sooner than tears. <hr /> Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. <hr /> Nothing is as burdensome as a secret. <hr /> Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. <hr /> One beggar at the door is enough. <hr /> One cannot reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others. <hr /> One cannot shoe a running horse. <hr /> One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters. <hr /> One flower will not make a garland. <hr /> One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade. <hr /> One hand washes the other. <hr /> One should always play fair even when one has no winning cards. <hr /> One should go invited to a friend in good fortune, and uninvited in misfortune. <hr /> One swallow maketh not a summer. <hr /> One woman never praises another. <hr /> Only love heals; through forgiveness, new beginnings freely rise. <hr /> Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. <hr /> Only through kindness and love can peace of mind be achieved. <hr /> Out of the frying pan into the fire. <hr /> Passion makes the world go round. Angels' love makes it a better place. <hr /> Passion means being in the moment and not being distracted. <hr /> Patience is a virtue. <hr /> Patience is poultice for all wounds. <hr /> Patience is the best medicine. <hr /> People like to spend time with others who are similar to them. <hr /> People live in each other's shelter. <hr /> People tend to want whatever they don’t have. <hr /> People who bravely do their best are more successful than people who are lazy. <hr /> People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. <hr /> Persuasion is better than force. <hr /> Philosophy is no waste of time. <hr /> Pigs might fly, but they are most unlikely birds. <hr /> Planning ahead is important, especially when you are trying to reach a specific goal. <hr /> Politics is a rotten egg; if broken, it stinks. <hr /> Poor men seek meat for their stomach, rich men stomach for their meat. <hr /> Power lasts ten years; influence not more than a hundred. <hr /> Practice makes perfect. <hr /> Praise the angels to feel the wind in your trousers! <hr /> Praise the young and they will blossom. <hr /> Pray for salvation and do not depend on others. <hr /> Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. <hr /> Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines. <hr /> Procrastination is the thief of time. <hr /> Promise only what you can deliver and deliver the best you can. <hr /> Public before private and country before family. <hr /> Push comes to shove, at the moment you ask for forgiveness. <hr /> Put silk on a goat, and it's still a goat. <hr /> Quiet people are well able to look after themselves. <hr /> Rabbits practice love. <hr /> Rags to riches to rags. <hr /> Rain beats a leopard's skin, but it does not wash off the spots. <hr /> Rains bless Mother Earth with gentle touch. <hr /> Rains grace Mother Earth with tranquil calm. <hr /> Rains purify Mother Earth with mystic grace. <hr /> Rains renew the verdant land with vibrant touch. <hr /> Rains soothe the sacred ground with pulsing rhythm. <hr /> Rats desert a sinking ship. <hr /> Rejoice in progress, great and small, where all may thrive and shine. <hr /> Riches run after the rich, and poverty runs after the poor. <hr /> Roasted pigeons will not fly into one's mouth. <hr /> Rome was not built in a day. <hr /> Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. <hr /> Save the planet, plant trees. <hr /> Seek counsel of him who makes you weep, and not of him who makes you laugh. <hr /> Set a beggar on horseback, and he 'll out ride the Devil. <hr /> Set a thief to catch a thief. <hr /> Sex is better if she is not addicted to the iPhone. <hr /> Shut up. Speaking is silver, to keep silent is gold. <hr /> Silence does not sound like gold. <hr /> Silence was never written down. <hr /> Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we can get. <hr /> Sit a beggar at your table and he will soon put his feet on it. <hr /> Six hours' sleep for a man, seven for a woman and eight for a fool. <hr /> Slow but sure is better than too fast. <hr /> Small children give you headache; big children heartache. <hr /> Smart mice get the cheese, and survive the trap. <hr /> Some people are masters of money, and some its slaves. <hr /> Sometimes I go about pitying myself, and all the time I am being carried on great wings across the sky. <hr /> Sometimes it’s good to be away from your partner, because it makes you want to see each other again. <hr /> Sometimes you have to say that nothing can be done by you about it. <hr /> Sometimes you have to step back and take a look at the bigger picture. <hr /> Sorrow for a husband is like a pain in the elbow, sharp and short. <hr /> Speak always the truth. <hr /> Speak not of my debts unless you mean to pay them. <hr /> Speak only the truth, do not lie. <hr /> Speak the truth, but leave immediately after. <hr /> Speak with truth and kindness, setting boundaries with gentle care. <hr /> Spend time in quiet meditation, contemplating the choices you have. <hr /> Stars are not seen by sunshine. <hr /> Start sitting just a little each day. <hr /> Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. <hr /> Stop complaining if you want to start with a clean slate. <hr /> Stop eating and laugh a lot to improve your health. <hr /> Strike while the iron is hot. <hr /> Strive on with diligence. <hr /> Strive, meditate and always stay positive and happy. <hr /> Success doesn’t just find you. You have to go out and do your best. <hr /> Success is nothing compared with love. <hr /> Sunshine all the time makes a desert. <hr /> Sweet is the wine but sour is the payment. <hr /> Take care to make peace and save Mother Earth and protect the innocents. <hr /> Take heed of enemies reconciled, and of meat twice boiled. <hr /> Take responsibility to make a good decision and make the most out of your life. <hr /> Take thy thoughts to bed with thee, for the morning is wiser than the evening. <hr /> Take your time but do not wait forever. <hr /> Talk of the devil and he is sure to appear. <hr /> Tell me who you live with and I will tell you who you are. <hr /> Tell the truth and shame the devil. <hr /> The angels need your actions, not words. <hr /> The angels’ love is the greatest refreshment in life. <hr /> The answers will come to you in divine time. <hr /> The apple does not fall far from the tree. <hr /> The apple hangs in the tree, till it falls. <hr /> The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names. <hr /> The best advice is found on the pillow. <hr /> The best revenge is no revenge at all. <hr /> The best thing about a man is his dog. <hr /> The best thoughts always come second as second thoughts are the best but cannot be better than the love of your friends. <hr /> The best way to predict the future is to create the future you want. <hr /> The big thieves hang the little ones. <hr /> The chickens are not laying eggs regularly. <hr /> The church is near but the road is icy; the bar is far away but I'll walk carefully. <hr /> The comforter's head never aches. <hr /> The darkest hour is that before the dawn. <hr /> The day will come when the cow will have use for her tail. <hr /> The fat is in the fire. <hr /> The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. <hr /> The future smiles at us like a sun of love. <hr /> The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials. <hr /> The girl who can't dance says the band can't play. <hr /> The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. <hr /> The grass is greener without a fence. <hr /> The great thieves lead away the little thieves. <hr /> The greatest victory is to conquer yourself. <hr /> The heart’s pure song, in love’s sweet care, ascends to heavens fair. <hr /> The hole is more honorable than the patch. <hr /> The hours of folly are measured by the clock, but of wisdom no clock can measure. <hr /> The ice is colder on Antarctica. <hr /> The innkeeper loves the drunkard, but not for a son-in-law. <hr /> The jay bird don't rob his own nest. <hr /> The key to success is to focus on goals, not obstacles. <hr /> The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold. <hr /> The light heart lives long. <hr /> The man who has no imagination has no wings. <hr /> The man who strikes first admits that his ideas have given out. <hr /> The man with the boots does not mind where he places his foot. <hr /> The meaning of life is to give meaning to life. <hr /> The mills of God grind slowly but they grind finely. <hr /> The moon is made of a green cheese. <hr /> The more the merrier. <hr /> The morning is wiser than the evening. <hr /> The most beautiful music comes from your heart. <hr /> The nail that sticks up will be hammered down. <hr /> The night rinses what the day has soaped. <hr /> The obstacle is the path if you do not listen to the angels. <hr /> The only good thing that comes from the east is the sun. <hr /> The only impossible journey is the one you never begin. <hr /> The only truth that lasts forever, is love. <hr /> The palest ink is better than the best memory. <hr /> The past endures in now and hence, unveiling creation’s mystic dance. <hr /> The pen is mightier than the sword. <hr /> The perception problem is always an attitude problem. <hr /> The pine stays green in winter...Wisdom in hardship. <hr /> The point of our existence is that we live purposeful meaningful lives. <hr /> The prime purpose in this life is to make peace and help others. <hr /> The raggy colt often made a powerful horse. <hr /> The reverse side also has a reverse side. <hr /> The right man comes at the right time. <hr /> The road to a friend's house is never long. <hr /> The road to success is to share and do it together. <hr /> The Russian knows the way, yet he asks for directions. <hr /> The sea has an enormous thirst and an insatiable appetite. <hr /> The secret of getting ahead is getting started. <hr /> The show must go on. <hr /> The silent dog is the first to bite. <hr /> The smallest thing outlives the human being. <hr /> The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. <hr /> The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world and do not forget. <hr /> The Spaniard is a bad servant but a worse master. <hr /> The squeaky wheel gets the grease. <hr /> The stars and earth, in love’s grand weave, sing life’s eternal dream. <hr /> The sun will set without thy assistance. <hr /> The surest way to remain poor is to be an honest man. <hr /> The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the scythe. <hr /> The time is right about the clock. <hr /> The tongue is more to be feared than the sword. <hr /> The tongue like a sharp knife...Kills without drawing blood. <hr /> The true test of leadership is how well you function in a crisis. <hr /> The truth is not always what we want to hear. <hr /> The turtle lays thousands of eggs without anyone knowing, but when the hen lays an egg, the whole country is informed. <hr /> The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. <hr /> The well fed does not understand the lean. <hr /> The whisper of a pretty girl can be heard further than the roar of a lion. <hr /> The winds of grace are always blowing, but you have to raise the sail. <hr /> The wise adapt themselves to circumstances, as water molds itself to the pitcher. <hr /> The wise man sits on the hole in his carpet. <hr /> The wolf loses his teeth, but not his inclinations. <hr /> The words are concepts. You must go through the experiences. <hr /> The work praises the man. <hr /> The world is a rose: smell it and pass it on to your friends. <hr /> The world keeps turning, by the infinite power of love. <hr /> The world would not make a racehorse of a donkey. <hr /> There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same. <hr /> There are more old drunkards than old doctors. <hr /> There are only two types of Chinese -- those who give bribes and those who take them. <hr /> There are some remedies worse than the disease. <hr /> There is a drunken elephant singing the blues in my bathroom. <hr /> There is always an angel who can do it better. <hr /> There is but one good mother-in-law and she is dead. <hr /> There is honor even among thieves. <hr /> There is hope from the sea, but none from the grave. <hr /> There is life outside the computer. <hr /> There is no fear in love; for perfect love casteth out fear. <hr /> There is no fireside like your own fireside. <hr /> There is no limit to the realization of today. <hr /> There is no luck except where there is discipline. <hr /> There is no need like the lack of a friend. <hr /> There is no strength without unity. <hr /> There is no time like the present. <hr /> There is nothing more beautiful in the world than to love you. <hr /> There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all! <hr /> There is plenty of sound in an empty barrel. <hr /> There’s no fun in time travel. <hr /> There’s no place like home. <hr /> There’s nothing worse than ignorance in action. <hr /> They joy before thee according the joy in the harvest. <hr /> They who love most are least valued. <hr /> Things look different than you think they really are. <hr /> Think before you ask, as who lies for you will lie against you. <hr /> Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night. <hr /> Think of creative solutions to your problems. <hr /> Think with the wise but walk with the vulgar. <hr /> Thirst is the end of drinking and sorrow is the end of drunkenness. <hr /> Though a tree grow ever so high, the falling leaves return to the ground. <hr /> Three diseases without shame: Love, itch and thirst. <hr /> Time is a great story teller. <hr /> Time trieth truth. <hr /> To arrive, you need to go. <hr /> To be rich is not everything, but it certainly helps. <hr /> To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business, and your business in your heart. <hr /> To deny all, is to confess all. <hr /> To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy. <hr /> To know the road ahead, ask those coming back. <hr /> To lead people, walk behind them. <hr /> To lend is to buy a quarrel. <hr /> To love is walking on water with no loss of enthusiasm. <hr /> To talk without thinking is to shoot without aiming. <hr /> To teach is to learn. <hr /> To the ass, or the sow, their own offspring appears the fairest in creation. <hr /> To whom you tell your secrets, to him you resign your liberty. <hr /> To woke or not to woke and go broke, only love matters. <hr /> Today is the first day of the rest of your life. <hr /> Tolerance and patience are the signs of true strength. <hr /> Tomorrow is a new day. <hr /> Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week. <hr /> Tomorrow never comes. <hr /> Too many cooks spoil the broth. <hr /> Trouble rides a fast horse. <hr /> True life’s reward is love’s kind deed, a treasure none can steal. <hr /> True nobility is in being superior to your previous self. <hr /> True riches shine in humble deeds, not crowns of fleeting gleam. <hr /> True wealth blooms in shared prosperity, cherishing joy’s eternal light. <hr /> True wealth springs from inner love, not pomp or power’s fleeting show. <hr /> Trust in the angels with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. <hr /> Truth and oil always come to the surface. <hr /> Truth has a handsome countenance but torn garments. <hr /> Truth is the safest lie. <hr /> Truth stands the test of time; lies are soon exposed. <hr /> Truth will be out. <hr /> Two are better than one. <hr /> Two heads are better than one. <hr /> Two shorten the road. <hr /> Unless you enter the tiger's den you cannot take the cubs. <hr /> Virtue is your reward. <hr /> Visit your aunt, but not every day of the year. <hr /> Walk over the highest mountain one step at a time. <hr /> Walk straight, my son - as the old crab said to the young crab. <hr /> Walls lack ears, eyes, or heart, unmoved by love’s eternal art. <hr /> Want a thing long enough and you don't. <hr /> War is death's feast. <hr /> Watch the doughnut, and not the hole. <hr /> Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. <hr /> Let all that you do be done with love. <hr /> Water for oxen, wine for kings. <hr /> We all have the power of thought, love, and action. <hr /> We are strong together and can handle anything. <hr /> We may be miles apart, but our souls are always linked by love. <hr /> We'll never know the worth of water till the well go dry. <hr /> Well done is better than well said. <hr /> Went in one ear and out the other. <hr /> What belongs to everybody belongs to nobody. <hr /> What breaks in a moment may take years to mend. <hr /> What happens to you is not as important as how you react to what happens. <hr /> What one knows it is sometimes useful to forget. <hr /> What you can not avoid, welcome. <hr /> What you see, yet cannot see over, is as good as infinite. <hr /> When a father helps a son, both smile; but when a son must help his father, both cry. <hr /> When a twig grows hard it is difficult to twist it. Every beginning is weak. <hr /> When an affliction happens to you, defeat it. <hr /> When fire is applied to a stone it cracks. <hr /> When fortune knocks upon the door open it widely. <hr /> When ill luck falls asleep, let none wake her. <hr /> When its time has arrived, the prey becomes the hunter. <hr /> When one dog barks another will join it. <hr /> When someone has done something bad to you, trying to get revenge will only make things worse. <hr /> When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion. <hr /> When the apple is ripe it will fall. <hr /> When the drop (drink) is inside, the sense is outside. <hr /> When the liquor was gone the fun was gone. <hr /> When the mouse is at home, the mice stay away. <hr /> When the mouse laughs at the cat, there is a hole nearby. <hr /> When the sword of rebellion is drawn, the sheath should be thrown away. <hr /> When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. <hr /> When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world. <hr /> When we sing everybody hears us, when we sigh nobody hears us. <hr /> When you are travelling abroad notice that people do things differently than you are used to. <hr /> When you cooperate with each other, you come up with better ideas. <hr /> When you face problems or disagreements, you have to arrive at solutions through dialogue. <hr /> When you generate a reasoned desire for others to be happy, your humanity increases in strength. <hr /> When you live next to the cemetery you cannot weep for everyone. <hr /> Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace. <hr /> Where no counsel is, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety. <hr /> Where the tongue slips, it speaks the truth. <hr /> Where there is love there is pain. <hr /> Where there is no vision, the people perish. <hr /> Where there's music there can be love. <hr /> Wherever you go, go with all your heart. <hr /> While the cat's away, the mice can play. <hr /> While the stars in the mosaic of the night sky are lovely, the way you make me feel is far more wonderful. <hr /> Who begins too much accomplishes little. <hr /> Who knows most speaks least. <hr /> Who knows that enough is enough will always have enough. <hr /> Who lies with dogs shall rise up with fleas. <hr /> Whoever is happy will make others happy too. <hr /> Wine divulges truth. <hr /> Wishing you well in everything you do. You deserve all the best in life. <hr /> With foxes we must play the fox. <hr /> With money you are a dragon; with no money, a worm. <hr /> Without inner peace, without inner calm, it is difficult to find lasting peace. <hr /> Without justice, courage is weak. <hr /> Without taming the mind there is no way to be happy. <hr /> Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood. <hr /> Wonder is the beginning of wisdom. <hr /> Work together and resolve conflicts in a spirit of reconciliation and always keep others’ interests in mind. <hr /> You are funny! <hr /> You are important, your strength and courage is admired by many. <hr /> You are irresistible. <hr /> You are more beautiful than I can express. <hr /> You are never too old to love. <hr /> You are nothing but an ape and think you are human. <hr /> You are overwhelming. <hr /> You are priceless, irreplaceable, there is nothing in the world that I love more than you. <hr /> You are rich if you have a good heart. <hr /> You are the change you wish to see in the world. <hr /> You are the cutest. <hr /> You are the island of my dreams. <hr /> You are the island of my heart. <hr /> You are the most amazing to me. <hr /> You are the most beautiful rose in the rose garden. <hr /> You are the most beautiful thing that happened to me. <hr /> You are the one thing in my life that I’m completely sure about. I love you for as long as I live. <hr /> You better do not leave and stay home to make it the most comfortable place to be. <hr /> You better get up early and have a head start in the day! <hr /> You can always ask the angels to help you but you must not force them. <hr /> You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. <hr /> You can get better service if you complain about something. <hr /> You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. <hr /> You can’t always get what you want. <hr /> Don’t whine and complain if you don’t get what you wanted. <hr /> You can’t keep having good luck or fun forever; eventually it will stop. <hr /> You can’t live completely independently. Everyone needs help from other people. <hr /> You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. <hr /> You come from the source of being. <hr /> You don’t put all your eggs in one basket. <hr /> You feed my heart and my soul with your love. <hr /> You have thinking to do, and will need a quiet space. <hr /> You have to act with love to control the quality of the results. <hr /> You have to do things yourself to control the quality of your life. <hr /> You have to practice a skill a lot to become good at it. <hr /> You have too many different ideas about what you think that is valuable. <hr /> You lift me up and hold me down, you make me smile when I’m down. <hr /> You make every day better, which is one of the million reasons I love you. <hr /> You make me the happiest person on Earth. <hr /> You make my heart melt! <hr /> You make my wildest dreams come true. <hr /> You may live after losing but not after losing your honour. <hr /> You might like to try sitting with a hint of a smile. <hr /> You need to make meditating a habit, not a decision. <hr /> You should always play fair to be a real winner. <hr /> You should knock on the door at the right address. <hr /> You should wake up and start work early if you want to succeed. <hr /> You tighten the ox behind the cart. <hr /> You will cross the ocean with the courage to lose sight of the shore. <hr /> You will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself. <hr /> You will have to overcome obstacles before you reach your desired goals. <hr /> Your care, support, encouragement and love has transformed my life. <hr /> Your health comes first; you can always hang yourself later. <hr /> Your neighbor's apples are the sweetest. <hr /> Your smile is as lovely as a morning bloom. <hr /> Your voice is sweeter than an angel’s song. <hr /> You’re as crazy as you think you’re crazy. <hr /> You’re the best of the best. <hr /> Youth sheds many a skin. The steed (horse) does not retain its speed forever.

So it is with Time in one's life. ~Marcel Proust, <i>The Past Recaptured</i>, 1927<hr /> Our time consumes like smoke, and posts away;<hr /> Nor can we treasure up a month or day:<hr /> The sand within the transitory glass<hr /> Doth haste, and so our silent minutes pass.<hr /> ~Rowland Watkyns<hr /> If I could only remember that the days were, not bricks to be laid row on row, to be built into a solid house, where one might dwell in safety and peace, but only food for the fires of the heart. ~Edmund Wilson <hr /> If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days. ~Dorothy Canfield Fisher <hr /> Every day of our lives we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference. ~Mignon McLaughlin, <i>The Neurotic's Notebook</i>, 1960<hr /> The word "now" is like a bomb through the window, and it ticks. ~Arthur Miller, <i>After the Fall</i>, 1964<hr /> Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself. ~George Bernard Shaw<hr /> The clock talked loud. I threw it away, it scared me what it talked. ~Tillie Olsen, <i>Tell Me a Riddle</i><hr /> Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information. ~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Here I am trying to live, or rather, I am trying to teach the death within me how to live. ~Jean Cocteau<hr /> When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.

That's what brains did for several hundred million years ― and then, just a few million years ago, the mammalian brain learned a new trick: to predict the timing and location of dangers before they actually happened. Our ability to duck that which is not yet coming is one of the brain's most stunning innovations, and we wouldn't have dental floss or 401(k) plans without it. But this innovation is in the early stages of development. The application that allows us to respond to visible baseballs is ancient and reliable, but the add-on utility that allows us to respond to threats that loom in an unseen future is still in beta testing. ― Daniel Gilbert, professor of psychology at Harvard University, in an op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times; 6 July, 2006 <hr /> "The illegal we do immediately.

But if we laugh with derision, we will never understand. Human intellectual capacity has not altered for thousands of years so far as we can tell. If intelligent people invested intense energy in issues that now seem foolish to us, then the failure lies in our understanding of their world, not in their distorted perceptions. Even the standard example of ancient nonsense ― the debate about angels on pinheads ― makes sense once you realize that theologians were not discussing whether five or eighteen would fit, but whether a pin could house a finite or an infinite number. ― S. J. Gould, "Wide Hats and Narrow Minds" <hr /> ... Fortunately, the responsibility for providing evidence is on the part of the person making the claim, not the critic. It is not the responsibility of UFO skeptics to prove that a UFO has never existed, nor is it the responsibility of paranormal-health-claims skeptics to prove that crystals or colored lights never healed anyone. The skeptic's role is to point out claims that are not adequately supported by acceptable evidence and to provide plausible alternative explanations that are more in keeping with the accepted body of scientific evidence. ... ― Thomas L.

So you have to be very careful about that. After you've not fooled yourself, it's easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that. ― R. P.

When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular. ― Oscar Wilde <hr /> As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power. ― Thomas Aquinas, prominent historical misogynist <hr /> As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had thought.

Glegg, The Design of Design <hr /> At the heart of science is an essential tension between two seemingly contradictory attitudes ― an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new.

White <hr /> Denniston's Law: Virtue is its own punishment. <hr /> Deprive a mirror of its silver, and even the Czar won't see his face. <hr /> Der Unterschied zwischen Genie und Wahnsinn liegt nur im Erfolg. [The only difference between genius and insanity is the success.] <hr /> Did I forget to mention, forget to mention Memphis? Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks. Do I smell? I smell home cooking. It's only the river, it's only the river. ― Talking Heads (Cities) <hr /> Did you know gullible is not in the dictionary? <hr /> Different all twisty a of in maze are you, passages little. <hr /> Digital computers are themselves more complex than most things people build: They have very large numbers of states. This makes conceiving, describing, and testing them hard. Software systems have orders-of-magnitude more states than computers do. ― Fred Brooks, Jr. <hr /> Dimensions will always be expressed in the least usable term. Velocity, for example, will be expressed in furlongs per fortnight. <hr /> Diplomacy is the art of extricating oneself from a situation that tact would have prevented in the first place. <hr /> Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a rock. <hr /> Disc space ― the final frontier! <hr /> Disco is to music what Etch-A-Sketch is to art. <hr /> Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought. ― Albert Szent-Gyorgi <hr /> Distress, n.: A disease incurred by exposure to the prosperity of a friend. ― Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" <hr /> Do not allow this language (Ada) in its present state to be used in applications where reliability is critical, i.e., nuclear power stations, cruise missiles, early warning systems, anti-ballistic missle defense systems. The next rocket to go astray as a result of a programming language error may not be an exploratory space rocket on a harmless trip to Venus: It may be a nuclear warhead exploding over one of our cities. An unreliable programming language generating unreliable programs constitutes a far greater risk to our environment and to our society than unsafe cars, toxic pesticides, or accidents at nuclear power stations. ― C. A. R. Hoare <hr /> Do not merely believe in miracles, rely on them. <hr /> Do not clog intellect's sluices with bits of knowledge of questionable uses. <hr /> Do not compromise yourself; you are all you have got. ― Janis Joplin <hr /> Do not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive. <hr /> Do not try to solve all life's problems at once ― learn to dread each day as it comes. ― Donald Kaul <hr /> Do not underestimate the value of print statements for debugging. Don't have aesthetic convulsions when using them, either. <hr /> Do you realize how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them? <hr /> Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing. ― Dick Brandon <hr /> Documentation is the castor oil of programming. Managers know it must be good because the programmers hate it so much. <hr /> Don't be overly suspicious where it's not warranted. <hr /> Don't believe everything you hear or anything you say. <hr /> Don't comment bad code: rewrite it. <hr /> Don't compare floating point numbers solely for equality. <hr /> Don't crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers. <hr /> Don't diddle code to make it faster, find a better algorithm. <hr /> Dobbin's Law: When in doubt, use a bigger hammer. <hr /> Don't get suckered in by the comments ― they can be terribly misleading.

Tell me how much you get done. ― James J. Ling <hr /> Don't try to outweird me, three-eyes. I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal. ― Zaphod Beeblebrox <hr /> Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ― Charles Schultz <hr /> Don't worry about things that you have no control over, because you have no control over them. Don't worry about things that you have control over, because you have control over them. ― Mickey Rivers <hr /> Don't worry about what other people are thinking about you. They're too busy worrying about what you are thinking about them. <hr /> Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd. ― Voltaire <hr /> Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith. ― Paul Tillich, German theologian and historian <hr /> Doubts and jealousies often beget the facts they fear. ― Thomas Jefferson <hr /> Down with categorical imperative! <hr /> Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing. <hr /> Ducharme's Axiom: If you view your problem closely enough you will recognize yourself as part of the problem. <hr /> Ducharme's Precept: Opportunity always knocks at the least opportune moment. <hr /> Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, and a dark side, and it holds the universe together ... ― Carl Zwanzig <hr /> Due to a shortage of devoted followers, the production of great leaders has been discontinued. <hr /> Due to circumstances beyond your control, you are master of your fate and captain of your soul. <hr /> Dum excusare credis, accusas. (When you believe you are excusing yourself, you are accusing yourself.) ― St. Jerome <hr /> Dunne's Law: The territory behind rhetoric is too often mined with equivocation. <hr /> During almost fifteen centuries the legal establishment of Christianity has been upon trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry, and persecution. ― James Madison <hr /> Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it. W. Somerset Maughm <hr /> <hr /> E Pluribus Unix <hr /> Each honest calling, each walk of life, has its own elite, its own aristocracy based on excellence of performance. ― James Bryant Conant <hr /> Each team building another component has been using the most recent tested version of the integrated system as a test bed for debugging its piece. Their work will be set back by having that test bed change under them. Of course it must. But the changes need to be quantized. Then each user has periods of productive stability, interrupted by bursts of test-bed change. This seems to be much less disruptive than a constant rippling and trembling. ― Frederick Brooks Jr., "The Mythical Man Month" <hr /> Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists. ― John Kenneth Galbraith <hr /> Economics, n.: Economics is the study of the value and meaning of J.

Things will get worse before they get better. 2.

The term "etymology" was formed from the Latin "etus" ("eaten"), the root "mal" ("bad"), and "logy" ("study of"). It meant "the study of things that are hard to swallow." ― Mike Kellen <hr /> Even a cabbage may look at a king. <hr /> Even a hawk is an eagle among crows. <hr /> Even if you can deceive people about a product through misleading statements, sooner or later the product will speak for itself. ― Hajime Karatsu <hr /> Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to? ― Clarence Darrow <hr /> Even the boldest zebra fears the hungry lion. <hr /> Even the future comes one day at a time. ― W. Woodhouse <hr /> Even the smallest candle burns brighter in the dark. <hr /> Even though they raised the rate for first class mail in the United States we really shouldn't complain ― it's still only 2 cents a day. <hr /> Ever notice that even the busiest people are never too busy to tell you just how busy they are. <hr /> Ever wander around the web, look at discussions, totally agree with one of the points of view, and then notice it was posted under one of your web aliases 5 years ago? ― Larry Weber <hr /> Every 4 seconds a woman has a baby. Our problem is to find this woman and stop her. <hr /> Every Horse has an Infinite Number of Legs (proof by intimidation): Horses have an even number of legs. Behind they have two legs, and in front they have fore-legs. This makes six legs, which is certainly an odd number of legs for a horse. But the only number that is both even and odd is infinity. Therefore, horses have an infinite number of legs. Now to show this for the general case, suppose that somewhere, there is a horse that has a finite number of legs. But that is a horse of another color, and by the [above] lemma ["All horses are the same color"], that does not exist. <hr /> Every Solidarity center had piles and piles of paper .... everyone was eating paper and a policeman was at the door. Now all you have to do is bend a disk. ― an anonymous member of the outlawed Polish trade union, Solidarity, commenting on the benefits of using computers in support of their movement <hr /> Every absurdity has a champion to defend it. <hr /> Every creature has within him the wild, uncontrollable urge to punt. <hr /> Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. ― Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953 <hr /> Every institution I've ever been associated with has tried to screw me. ― Stephen Wolfram <hr /> Every little picofarad has a nanohenry all its own. ― Don Vonada <hr /> Every man is as God made him, ay, and often worse. ― Miguel de Cervantes <hr /> Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction ― from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work. <hr /> Every program has two purposes ― one for which it was written and another for which it wasn't. <hr /> Every program is a part of some other program, and rarely fits. <hr /> Every purchase has its price. <hr /> Every silver lining has a cloud around it. <hr /> Every solution breeds new problems. <hr /> Every successful person has had failures, but repeated failure is no guarantee of eventual success. <hr /> Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness. ― Beckett <hr /> Everything is better with no people. ― Bob "Biff" Rendar <hr /> Dykstra's Law: Everybody is somebody else's weirdo. <hr /> Everything is controlled by a small evil group to which, unfortunately, no one we know belongs. <hr /> Everything to excess! Moderation is for monks. ― Lazarus Long <hr /> Everything you know is wrong. ― The Firesign Theater <hr /> Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines. ― R. Buckminster Fuller <hr /> Everything should be built top-down, except the first time. <hr /> Evolution is a bankrupt speculative philosophy, not a scientific fact. Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it. ... Only atheists could accept this Satanic theory. ― Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, "The Pre-Adamic Creation and Evolution" <hr /> Evolution does not require the nonexistence of God, it merely allows for it. That alone is enough to evoke condemnation from those who fear the nonexistence of God more than they fear God Himself. ― Keith Doyle, in talk.origins <hr /> Evolution is both fact and theory. Creationism is neither. ― Anonymous <hr /> Exactitude in small matters is the essence of discipline. <hr /> Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other. <hr /> Excellent day to have a rotten day. <hr /> Excellent time to become a missing person. <hr /> Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit. ― W. Somerset Maugham <hr /> Excessive login or logout messages are a sure sign of senility. <hr /> Excuse me while I change into something more formidable. <hr /> Executive ability is prominent in your make-up. <hr /> Expense Accounts, n.: Corporate food stamps. <hr /> Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will learn at no other. ― Poor Richard's Almanac <hr /> Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. ― Olivier <hr /> Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you recognize a mistake when you make it again. ― Franklin P. Jones <hr /> Experience is the worst teacher. It always gives the test first and the instructions afterward. <hr /> Experience is what causes a person to make new mistakes instead of old ones. <hr /> Experience is what you get when you were expecting something else. <hr /> Extreme good-naturedness borders on weakness of character. Avoid it. <hr /> Extremes of fortune are fatal to folks of small dimensions. ― Arnold Glasow <hr /> <hr /> FLASH! Intelligence of mankind decreasing. Details at ... uh, when the little hand is on the .... <hr /> Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. <hr /> Facts are simple and facts are straight / Facts are lazy and facts are late. Facts all come with points of view / Facts don't do what I want them to. Facts just twist the truth around / Facts are living turned inside out. Facts are getting the best of them / Facts are nothing on the face of things. Facts don't stain the furniture / Facts go out and slam the door. Facts are written all over your face / Facts continue to change their shape. ― Talking Heads <hr /> Failing to get them to do it your way might mean they're stupid, but it also means you failed to get them to do it your way. ― Cal Keegan <hr /> Failure is more frequently from want of energy than want of capital. <hr /> Failure is not an option.

But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us ― and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along. ― Carl Sagan, "The Fine Art of Baloney Detection," Parade, February 1, 1987 <hr /> Fine, Java MIGHT be a good example of what a programming language should be like. But Java applications are good examples of what applications SHOULDN'T be like. ― pixadel <hr /> Fine day to throw a party. Throw him as far as you can. <hr /> Fine day to work off excess energy.

Clopton <hr /> For some reason a glaze passes over people's faces when you say "Canada". Maybe we should invade South Dakota or something. ― Sandra Gotlieb, wife of the Canadian ambassador to the U.S. <hr /> For some reason, this fortune reminds everyone of Marvin Zelkowitz. <hr /> For the politicians this was never about how efficient they could make things happen or how to solve a problem, it is about the *appearance* of efficiency, or problem solving. My observation is that most politicians think more like sales people than technicians, and are about as clueful. Which means, unless the politicians change the way they think, discussion about how to use *them* to go about really solving these problems would be like asking a booth babe to write a kernel module. ― Rich Costine <hr /> For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like. ― Abraham Lincoln <hr /> Forgetfulness, n.: A gift of God bestowed upon debtors in compensation for their destitution of conscience. <hr /> Fourth Law of Revision: It is usually impractical to worry beforehand about interferences ― if you have none, someone will make one for you. <hr /> Fourth Law of Thermodymanics: If the probability of success is not almost one, then it is damn near zero. ― David Ellis <hr /> Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. <hr /> Fresco's Discovery: If you knew what you were doing you'd probably be bored. <hr /> Friends: people who borrow my books and set wet glasses on them. <hr /> Frisbeetarianism, n.: The belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck. <hr /> Frobnicate, v.: To manipulate or adjust, to tweak. Derived from FROBNITZ. Usually abbreviated to FROB. Thus one has the saying "to frob a frob". See TWEAK and TWIDDLE. Usage: FROB, TWIDDLE, and TWEAK sometimes connote points along a continuum. FROB connotes aimless manipulation; TWIDDLE connotes gross manipulation, often a coarse search for a proper setting; TWEAK connotes fine-tuning. If someone is turning a knob on an oscilloscope, then if he's carefully adjusting it he is probably tweaking it; if he is just turning it but looking at the screen he is probably twiddling it; but if he's just doing it because turning a knob is fun, he's frobbing it. <hr /> From the ice-age to the dole-age there is but one concern and I have just discovered: some girls are bigger than others some girls are bigger than others some girls are bigger than other girls' mothers ― The Smiths <hr /> From too much love of living/From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving/Whatever gods may be, That no life lives forever/That dead men rise up never, That even the weariest river winds somewhere safe to sea. ― Swinburne <hr /> Froud's Law: A transistor protected by a fast acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first. <hr /> Fudd's First Law of Opposition: Push something hard enough and it will fall over. <hr /> Furbling, v.: Having to wander through a maze of ropes at an airport or bank even when you are the only person in line. ― Rich Hall, "Sniglets" <hr /> Furious activity is no substitute for understanding. ― H. H. Williams <hr /> <hr /> G. B. Shaw to William Douglas Home: "Go on writing plays, my boy.

The trade unions, under the European system, destroy liberty ... I do not mean to say that a dollar a day is enough to support a workingman ... not enough to support a man and five children if he insists on smoking and drinking beer. But the man who cannot live on bread and water is not fit to live! A family may live on good bread and water in the morning, water and bread at midday, and good bread and water at night! ― Rev.

Now the layout of the QWERTYUIOP typewriter keyboard was designed, among other things, to facilitate the even use of both hands. It follows, therefore, that writing about databases is not only unnatural, but a lot harder than it appears. <hr /> Hatred, n.: A sentiment appropriate to the occasion of another's superiority. ― Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" <hr /> Have you ever noticed that the people who are always trying to tell you, "There's a time for work and a time for play," never find the time for play? <hr /> Have you locked your file cabinet? <hr /> Have you noticed that all you need to grow healthy, vigorous grass is a crack in your sidewalk? <hr /> He had that rare weird electricity about him ― that extremely wild and heavy presence that you only see in a person who has abandoned all hope of ever behaving "normally." ― Hunter S. Thompson, "Fear and Loathing '72" <hr /> He hadn't a single redeeming vice. ― Oscar Wilde <hr /> He hated to mend, so young Ned Called in a cute neighbor instead. Her husband said, "Vi, When you stitched up his torn fly, Did you have to bite off the thread?" <hr /> He is considered the most graceful speaker who can say nothing in most words. <hr /> He is truly wise who gains wisdom from another's mishap. <hr /> He launched a massive attack on everything this country held inviolate, on most of what it held self-evident. He showed how our politics was dominated by time-servers and demagogues, our religion by bigots, our culture by puritans. He showed how the average citizen, both in himself and in the way he let himself be pulled around by the nose, was a boob. ― Louis Kronenberger, "H.L. Mencken," in Malcolm Cowley, ed., After the Genteel Tradition, 1964. <hr /> He looked at me as if I was a side dish he hadn't ordered. <hr /> He played the king as if afraid someone else would play the ace. ― John Mason Brown, drama critic <hr /> He that labors and thrives spins gold. ― George Herbert <hr /> He that would govern others, first should be the master of himself. <hr /> He thinks by infection, catching an opinion like a cold. <hr /> He walks as if balancing the family tree on his nose. <hr /> He was so narrow-minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. <hr /> He wasn't much of an actor, he wasn't much of a Governor ― Hell, they HAD to make him President of the United States. It's the only job he's qualified for! ― Michael Cain <hr /> He who Laughs, Lasts. <hr /> He who attacks the fundamentals of the American broadcasting industry attacks democracy itself. ― William S. Paley, chairman of CBS <hr /> He who has a shady past knows that nice guys finish last. <hr /> He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. <hr /> He who hates vices hates mankind. <hr /> He who hesitates is sometimes saved. <hr /> He who invents adages for others to peruse takes along rowboat when going on cruise. <hr /> He who laughs, lasts. <hr /> He who lives without folly is less wise than he believes. <hr /> He who shits on the road will meet flies on his return. ― South African Saying <hr /> He who sneezes without a handkerchief takes matters into his own hands. <hr /> He who spends a storm beneath a tree takes life with a grain of TNT. <hr /> He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder. ― M.

If they didn't have bugs, then they'd be algorithms. <hr /> Hey what? Where? When? (Are you confused as I am?) <hr /> Hi there! This is just a note from me, to you, to tell you, the person reading this note, that I can't think up any more famous quotes, jokes, nor bizarre stories, so you may as well go home. <hr /> Hidden talent counts for nothing. ― Nero <hr /> Hindsight is an exact science. <hr /> Hippogriff, n.: An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin. The griffin was itself a compound creature, half lion and half eagle. The hippogriff was actually, therefore, only one quarter eagle, which is two dollars and fifty cents in gold. The study of zoology is full of surprises. ― Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" <hr /> Hire the morally handicapped. <hr /> His heart was yours from the first moment that you met. <hr /> History does not repeat itself; historians merely repeat each other. <hr /> History has the relation to truth that theology has to religion ― i.e., none to speak of. ― Lazarus Long <hr /> History repeats itself. That's one thing wrong with history. <hr /> History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance, of which their political as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purpose. ― Thomas Jefferson, to Baron von Humboldt, 1813 <hr /> History shows that the human mind, fed by constant accessions of knowledge, periodically grows too large for its theoretical coverings, and bursts them asunder to appear in new habiliments, as the feeding and growing grub, at intervals, casts its too narrow skin and assumes another...

One to change the bulb and one to mix the drinks. <hr /> Q. How many Zen masters does it take to screw in a light bulb? A. None.

"Well the diagnostics say it's fine buddy, so it's a software problem." <hr /> Q. How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb? A. None. It's a hardware problem. <hr /> Q.

A. 9 edge down. <hr /> Howe's Law: Everyone has a scheme that will not work. <hr /> However, never daunted, I will cope with adversity in my traditional manner ... sulking and nausea. ― Tom K. Ryan <hr /> Human beings were created by water to transport it uphill. <hr /> Human cardiac catheterization was introduced by Werner Forssman in 1929. Ignoring his department chief, and tying his assistant to an operating table to prevent his interference, he placed a uretheral catheter into a vein in his arm, advanced it to the right atrium [of his heart], and walked upstairs to the x-ray department where he took the confirmatory x-ray film. In 1956, Dr. Forssman was awarded the Nobel Prize. <hr /> Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition. ― Isaac Asimov <hr /> Hurewitz's Memory Principle: The chance of forgetting something is directly proportional to ..... to ........ uh .............. <hr /> <hr /> I always distrust people who know so much about what God wants them to do to their fellows. ― Susan B. Anthony <hr /> I HATE arbitrary limits, especially when they're small. ― Stephen Savitzky <hr /> I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absented myself from Christian assemblies. ― Benjamin Franklin <hr /> I have had interactions with developers who are convinced that everything in .Net was created solely by MS for open source usage. But that could be another result of vaccination preservatives. ― Larry Weber <hr /> I think all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not! And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am. ― Monty Python <hr /> I would defend the liberty of concenting adult creationists to practice whatever intellectual perversions they like in the privacy of their own homes; but it is also necessary to protect the young and innocent. ― Arthur C. Clarke <hr /> I would not dare to so dishonor my Creator God by attaching His name to that book [the Bible]. ― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, Part 1, Section 5 <hr /> I'm also not very analytical. You know, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things. ― George W. Bush, aboard Air Force One; June 4, 2003 <hr /> I'm an evolutionist because I judge the evidence for the unity of life by common descent over billions of years to be overwhelming, not so that I can cheat on my wife or kick the cat with impunity. I live in no hope of heaven or fear of hell, but like most of my fellow Americans of all religious persuasions, I try to live a decent life. Folks like Tom DeLay just can't get it through their heads that a person can choose to live ethically because civilized life requires doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. ― Chet Raymo, science columnist for The Boston Globe, in a 5 Sep, 1999, article on the anti-evolution decision by Kansas School Board <hr /> I am a member of a party of one, and I live in an age of fear. Nothing lately has unsettled my party and raised my fears so much as your editorial, on Thanksgiving Day, suggesting that employees should be required to state their beliefs in order to hold their jobs. The idea is inconsistent with our constitutional theory and has been stubbornly opposed by watchful men since the early days of the Republic. ― E.B. White, in a letter to the New York Herald Tribune (November 29, 1947) <hr /> I am always with myself, and it is I who am my tormenter. ― Leo Tolstoy <hr /> I am astounded ... at the wonderful power you have developed ― and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever. ― Arthur Sullivan, on seeing a demonstration of Edison's new talking machine in 1888 <hr /> I am not now, and never have been, a girl friend of Henry Kissinger. ― Gloria Steinem <hr /> I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter. ― Winston Churchill <hr /> I am the mother of all things, and all things should wear a sweater. <hr /> I am, in point of fact, a particularly haughty and exclusive person, of pre-Adamite ancestral descent. You will understand this when I tell you that I can trace my ancestry back to a protoplasmal primordial atomic globule. Consequently, my family pride is something inconceivable. I can't help it. I was born sneering. ― Pooh-Bah, "The Mikado", Gilbert &amp; Sullivan <hr /> I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean. ― G. K. Chesterton <hr /> I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat. ― Will Rogers <hr /> I'll bet the human brain is a kludge. ― Marvin Minsky <hr /> I can call spirits from the vasty deep. Why so can I, or so can any man; but will they come when you do call for them? ― Shakespeare, King Henry IV, Part I <hr /> I can't complain, but sometimes I still do. ― Joe Walsh <hr /> I cannot affirm God if I fail to affirm man. Therefore, I affirm both. Without a belief in human unity I am hungry and incomplete. Human unity is the fulfillment of diversity. It is the harmony of opposites. It is a many-stranded texture, with color and depth. ― Norman Cousins <hr /> I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions. ― Lillian Hellman <hr /> I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. ― Steven Roberts <hr /> I could prove God statistically. ― George Gallup <hr /> I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat veggies. <hr /> I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any Church that I know of. My own mind is my own church. ― Thomas Paine <hr /> I do not believe that this generation of Americans is willing to resign itself to going to bed each night by the light of a Communist moon... ― Lyndon B. Johnson <hr /> I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. ― Isaac Asimov <hr /> I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. ― Galileo Galilei <hr /> I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature. ― Thomas Jefferson <hr /> I do not know myself, and God forbid that I should. ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe <hr /> I do not mind what language an opera is sung in so long as it is a language I don't understand. ― Sir Edware Appleton <hr /> I don't believe in astrology. But then I'm an Aquarius, and Aquarians don't believe in astrology. ― James R. F. Quirk <hr /> I don't care if I'm a lemming. I'm not going. <hr /> I don't care if it works on your machine! We are not shipping your machine! ― Vidiu Platon <hr /> I don't have any solution, but I certainly admire the problem. ― Ashleigh Brilliant <hr /> I don't like spreading rumors, but what else can you do with them? <hr /> I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind. ― George Bernard Shaw <hr /> I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives. ― Leray Scifres <hr /> I either want less corruption, or more chance to participate in it. ― Ashleigh Brilliant <hr /> I fart in your general direction, tiny-brained wiper of other people's bottoms. <hr /> I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it. ― Mae West <hr /> I get the feeling that as soon as something appears in the paper, it ceases to be true. ― T-Bone Burnett <hr /> I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves. ― George W. Bush, Washington, D.C.; September 21, 2003 <hr /> I go to seek a great perhaps. ― Francois Rabelais <hr /> I had a great idea this morning but I did not like it. ― Anon <hr /> I had a monumental idea this morning, but I didn't like it. ― Samuel Goldwyn <hr /> I hate quotations. ― Ralph Waldo Emerson <hr /> I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches. ― A. R. Longworth <hr /> I have discovered the heart of bushido: to die! ― Yamamoto Tsunetomo <hr /> I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure. ― Clarence Darrow <hr /> I haven't lost my mind ― it's backed up on tape somewhere. <hr /> I haven't lost my mind; I know exactly where I left it. <hr /> I judge a religion as being good or bad based on whether its adherents become better people as a result of practicing it. ― Joe Mullally, computer salesman <hr /> I just thought of something funny...your mother. ― Cheech Marin <hr /> I like a man who grins when he fights. ― Winston Churchill <hr /> I like being single. I'm always there when I need me. ― Art Leo <hr /> I like the future, I'm in it. <hr /> I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true. ― Carl Sagan, The Burden Of Skepticism, The Skeptical Inquirer, Vol. 12, Fall 87 <hr /> I must have slipped a disk; my pack hurts. <hr /> I never fail to convince an audience that the best thing they could do was to go away. <hr /> I never met a piece of chocolate I didn't like. <hr /> I profoundly believe it takes a lot of practice to become a moral slob. ― William F. Buckley <hr /> I program, therefore I am. <hr /> I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I decided to get as crude as possible. These days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to crudeness. ― Johnny Mnemonic, by William Gibson <hr /> I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce. ― J. Edgar Hoover <hr /> I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce. ― J. Edgar Hoover <hr /> I sat through it. Why shouldn't you? ― David Letterman, it a spot promoting one of his shows <hr /> I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. <hr /> I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot. ― King Henry V, "Henry V", Act III, Scene 1 <hr /> I simply try to aid in letting the light of historical truth into that decaying mass of outworn thought which attaches the modern world to medieval conceptions of Christianity, and which still lingers among us―a most serious barrier to religion and morals, and a menace to the whole normal evolution of society. ― Andrew D. White, author, first president of Cornell University, 1896 <hr /> I support everyone's right to be an idiot. I may need it someday. <hr /> I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell's ass. ― Senator Barry Goldwater, when asked what he thought of Jerry Falwell's suggestion that all good Christians should be against Sandra Day O'Connor's nomination to the Supreme Court <hr /> I think Microsoft named .NET so it wouldn't show up in a Unix directory listing. ― Oktal <hr /> I think people are reacting to what they perceive to be your simplistic and fetishistic understanding of the economy, which is becoming more and more pronouncedly so in its outward manifestations as you react to your misunderstanding of people's reactions to your reaction to what you perceived as Sam's simplistic and fetishistic understanding of the economy. ― Gordan Todorovac <hr /> I think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability. ― Oscar Wilde <hr /> I think time is crucial to anything. For example, if you lock an infinite number of monkeys in a room with those typewriters, but you limit the amount of time they have to write, the best you'll get out of them is the pilot to The Dukes of Hazzard. ―Doug Sykes <hr /> I think trash is the most important manifestation of culture we have in my lifetime. ― Johnny Legend <hr /> I think we're all Bozos on this bus. <hr /> I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed. ― Marvin <hr /> I tried being reasonable once. I didn't like it. <hr /> I use not only all the brains I have but all that I can borrow. ― Woodrow Wilson <hr /> I used to be indecisive; now I'm not sure. ― Graffiti <hr /> I used to get high on life but lately I've built up a resistance. <hr /> I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure. <hr /> I was brought up in the other service; but I knew from the first that the Devil was my natural master and captain and friend. I saw that he was in the right, and that the world cringed to his conqueror only from fear. ― Shaw, "The Devil's Disciple" <hr /> I was in this prematurely air conditioned supermarket and there were all these aisles and there were these bathing caps you could buy that had these kind of Fourth of July plumes on them that were red and yellow and blue and I wasn't tempted to buy one but I was reminded of the fact that I had been avoiding the beach. ― Lucinda Childs (Philip Glass: Einstein On The Beach) <hr /> I went on to test the program in every way I could devise. I strained it to expose its weaknesses. I ran it for high-mass stars and low-mass stars, for stars born exceedingly hot and those born relatively cold. I ran it assuming the superfluid currents beneath the crust to be absent ― not because I wanted to know the answer, but because I had developed an intuitive feel for the answer in this particular case. Finally I got a run in which the computer showed the pulsar's temperature to be less than absolute zero. I had found an error. I chased down the error and fixed it. Now I had improved the program to the point where it would not run at all. ― George Greenstein, "Frozen Star: Of Pulsars, Black Holes and the Fate of Stars" <hr /> I will never use biometrics. I'm afraid they'll make me change my password. ― Drew Sudell <hr /> I will contend that conceptual integrity is *the* most important consideration in system design. ― Frederick Brooks, Jr., _The Mythical Man Month_ <hr /> I wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence. There's a knob called "brightness", but it doesn't work. ― Gallagher <hr /> I wish they all could be California girls. <hr /> I wish you humans would leave me alone. <hr /> I would defend the liberty of consenting adult creationists to practice whatever intellectual perversions they like in the privacy of their own homes; but it is also necessary to protect the young and innocent. ― Arthur C. Clarke <hr /> I would have promised those terrorists a trip to Disneyland if it would have gotten the hostages released. I thank God they were satisfied with the missiles and we didn't have to go to that extreme. ― Oliver North <hr /> I wouldn't mind dying ― it's that business of having to stay dead that scares the shit out of me. ― R. Geis <hr /> I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous. <hr /> I'll tell you what kind of guy I was. If you ordered a boxcar full of sons-of-bitches and opened the door and only found me inside, you could consider the order filled. ― Robert Mitchum <hr /> I'm a misanthrope. What's your fucking problem? <hr /> I'm growing older, but not up. ― Jimmy Buffett <hr /> I'm in Pittsburgh. Why am I here? ― Harold Urey, Nobel Laureate <hr /> I'm mad, and that's a fact./I found out animals don't help. Animals think they're pretty smart./Shit on the ground, see in the dark. ― Talking Heads (Fear of Music) <hr /> I'm not breaking the rules. I'm just testing their elasticity. <hr /> I'm not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going. <hr /> I've got a bad feeling about this. <hr /> I've had fun before. This isn't it. <hr /> I've seen many politicians paralyzed in the legs as myself, but I've seen more of them who were paralyzed in the head. ― George Wallace <hr /> Idiot Box, n.: The part of the envelope that tells a person where to place the stamp when they can't quite figure it out for themselves. ― Rich Hall, "Sniglets" <hr /> Idiot, n.: A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. ― Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" <hr /> If A = B and B = C, then A = C, except where void or prohibited by law. ― Roy Santoro <hr /> If God lived on Earth, people would knock out all His windows. ― Yiddish saying <hr /> If God is perfect, why did He create discontinuous functions? <hr /> If I had a hammer, I'd use it on Peter, Paul and Mary. ― Howard Rosenberg <hr /> If I had any humility I would be perfect. ― Ted Turner <hr /> If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution. ― Robert Sewell <hr /> If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he had to say, and make fun of it. ― Thomas Carlyle <hr /> If Murphy's Law were true, every time you tried to take a breath, all the air would be on the other side of the room. <hr /> If a President doesn't do it to his wife, he'll do it to his country. <hr /> If a group of N persons implements a COBOL compiler, there will be N-1 passes. Someone in the group has to be the manager. ― T. Cheatham <hr /> If a listener nods his head when you're explaining your program, wake him up. <hr /> If a person (a) is poorly, (b) receives treatment intended to make him better, and (c) gets better, then no power of reasoning known to medical science can convince him that it may not have been the treatment that restored his health. ― Sir Peter Medawar, The Art of the Soluble <hr /> If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error. ― John Kenneth Galbraith <hr /> If all the philosophers in the world were laid end to end, they wouldn't reach a conclusion. <hr /> If all the salmon caught in Canada in one year were laid end to end across the Sahara Desert, the smell would be absolutely awful. <hr /> If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door. ― Paul Beatty <hr /> If all the world's economists were laid end to end, we wouldn't reach a conclusion. ― William Baumol <hr /> If an idea can survive a bureaucratic review and be implemented it isn't worth the effort. <hr /> If anything can go wrong, it will. <hr /> If at first you don't succeed, give up, no use being a damn fool. <hr /> If at first you don't succeed, quit; don't be a nut about success. <hr /> If at first you don't succeed, redefine success. <hr /> If atheism is to be used to express the state of mind in which God is identified with the unknowable, and theology is pronounced to be a collection of meaningless words about unintelligible chimeras, then I have no doubt, and I think few people doubt, that atheists are as plentiful as blackberries... ― Leslie Stephen (1832-1904), literary essayist, author <hr /> If bankers can count, how come they have eight windows and only four tellers? <hr /> If entropy is increasing, where is it coming from? <hr /> If everything is coming your way then you're in the wrong lane. <hr /> If guns are outlawed, how will we shoot the liberals? <hr /> If I was a religious person, I would consider creationism nothing less than blasphemy.

Hunt <hr /> If this fortune didn't exist, somebody would have invented it. <hr /> If time heals all wounds, how come the belly button stays the same? <hr /> If two men agree on everything, you may be sure that one of them is doing the thinking. ― Lyndon Baines Johnson <hr /> If voting could really change the system, it would be against the law. <hr /> If we do not change our direction we are likely to end up where we are headed. <hr /> If we do not change our direction, we might end up were we are headed. <hr /> If we make peaceful revolution impossible, we make violent revolution inevitiable. ― John F. Kennedy <hr /> If you always postpone pleasure you will never have it. Quit work and play for awhile. <hr /> If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. <hr /> If you are willing to die, you can do anything. <hr /> If you build something a fool can use, only a fool will want it. <hr /> If you can lead it to water and force it to drink, it isn't a horse. <hr /> If you can survive death, you can probably survive anything. <hr /> If you can't learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly. ― Ashleigh Brilliant <hr /> If you can't say something nice, say something surrealistic. <hr /> If you cannot convince them, confuse them. ― Harry S Truman <hr /> If you cannot take a bird of paradise, better take a wet hen. ― Nikita Khrushchev <hr /> If you don't care where you are, then you ain't lost. <hr /> If you explain so clearly that nobody can misunderstand, somebody will. <hr /> If you give Congress a chance to vote on both sides of an issue, it will always do it. ― Les Aspin, D., Wisconsin <hr /> If you had any brains, you'd be dangerous. <hr /> If you have to push so hard that you break your penis, you are doing something wrong. — Frank McLaughlin <hr /> If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some. <hr /> If you live in a country run by committee, be on the committee. ― Graham Summer <hr /> If you make a mistake, you right it immediately to the best of your ability. <hr /> If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think they'll hate you. <hr /> If you meet somebody who tells you that he loves you more than anybody in the whole wide world, don't trust him. It means he experiments. <hr /> If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. ― Maslow <hr /> If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way will promptly develop. <hr /> If you push the "extra ice" button on the soft drink vending machine, you won't get any ice. If you push the "no ice" button, you'll get ice, but no cup. <hr /> If you put garbage in a computer nothing comes out but garbage. But this garbage, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow ennobled and none dare criticize it. <hr /> If you see someone without a smile, give them yours. ― Anonymous <hr /> If you substitute other kinds of intellectual property into the GNU manifesto, it quickly becomes absurd. ― Cal Keegan <hr /> If you suspect a man, don't employ him. <hr /> If you think before you speak, the other guy gets his joke in first. <hr /> If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. ― Derek Bok, president of Harvard <hr /> If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. ― Earl Wilson <hr /> If you think the United States has stood still, who built the largest shopping center in the world? ― Richard M. Nixon <hr /> If you want to eat hippopotamus, you've got to pay the freight. ― some IBM guy <hr /> If you work hard and do your homework, you can grow up and get a job doing homework. ― former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer <hr /> If you'll excuse me a minute, I'm going to have a cup of coffee. ― broadcast from Apollo 11's LEM, "Eagle", to Johnson Space Center, Houston, July 20, 1969, 7:27 P.M. <hr /> If you're going to do something tonight that you'll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late. ― Henny Youngman <hr /> If you're happy, you're successful. <hr /> If you're not careful, you're going to catch something. <hr /> If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. <hr /> If you're not very clever you should be conciliatory. ― Benjamin Disraeli <hr /> If you've done six impossible things before breakfast, why not round it off with dinner at Milliway's, the restaurant at the end of the universe? <hr /> If you've seen one Grand Canyon, you've seen them all. ― a member of the Monkey Wrench Gang <hr /> If you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all. ― Spiro Agnew <hr /> If you've seen one redwood, you've seen them all. ― Ronald Reagan <hr /> If your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. <hr /> Ignorance is the Mother of Devotion. ― Robert Burton <hr /> Ignorance is when you don't know anything and somebody finds it out. <hr /> Ignore previous fortune. <hr /> I'll play with it first and tell you what it is later. ― Miles Davis <hr /> Illinois isn't exactly the land that God forgot ― it's more like the land He's trying to ignore. <hr /> Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality. ― Jules de Gaultier <hr /> Imitation is the sincerest form of plagiarism. <hr /> Imitation is the sincerest form of television. ― Fred Allen <hr /> Immortality ― a fate worse than death. ― Edgar A.

Would that it were so in our programming languages. <hr /> In a five year period we can get one superb programming language. Only, we can't control when the five year period will begin. <hr /> In an organization, each person rises to the level of his own incompetence. ― The Peter Principle <hr /> In any formula, constants (especially those obtained from handbooks) are to be treated as variables. <hr /> In arguing that current theories of brain function cast suspicion on ESP, psychokinesis, reincarnation, and so on, I am frequently challenged with the most popular of all neuro-mythologies ― the notion that we ordinarily use only 10 percent of our brains... This "cerebral spare tire" concept continues to nourish the clientele of "pop psychologists" and their many recycling self-improvement schemes. As a metaphor for the fact that few of us fully exploit our talents, who could deny it? As a refuge for occultists seeking a neural basis of the miraculous, it leaves much to be desired. ― Barry L. Beyerstein, "The Brain and Conciousness: Implications for Psi Phenomena", The Skeptical Enquirer, Vol. XII, No. 2, pg. 171 <hr /> In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to Liberty.

Even if one has to run some risks, one must be brave and strong enough to meet and overcome vexing challenges to maintain a successful business in the long run. I cannot help saying that Americans lack this necessary challenging spirit today. ― Hajime Karatsu <hr /> In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, intelligence is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office. ― Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" <hr /> In software, we rarely have meaningful requirements. Even if we do, the only measure of success that matters is whether our solution solves the customer's shifting idea of what their problem is. ― Jeff Atwood <hr /> In the Top 40, half the songs are secret messages to the teen world to drop out, turn on, and groove with the chemicals and light shows at discotheques. ― Art Linkletter <hr /> In the beginning I was made.

Lee, in a letter to President Franklin Pierce <hr /> Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble? <hr /> Is life worth living? It depends on the liver. ― Herbert Beerbohm Tree <hr /> Is not marriage an open question, when it is alleged, from the beginning of the world, that such as are in the institution wish to get out, and such as are out wish to get in? ― Ralph Emerson <hr /> Isn't it strange that the same people that laugh at gypsy fortune tellers take economists seriously? <hr /> Issawi's Laws of Progress: 1. The Course of Progress: Most things get steadily worse. 2. The Path of Progress: A shortcut is the longest distance between two points. <hr /> It could be worse, you could be in Cleveland. <hr /> It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. ― Thomas Jefferson <hr /> It has been observed that one's nose is never so happy as when it is thrust into the affairs of another, from which some physiologists have drawn the inference that the nose is devoid of the sense of smell. ― Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" <hr /> It has been said that the great scientific disciplines are examples of giants standing on the shoulders of other giants. It has also been said that the software industry is an example of midgets standing on the toes of other midgets. ― Alan Cooper <hr /> It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats. <hr /> It is Fortune, not wisdom that rules man's life. <hr /> It is a poor judge who cannot award a prize. <hr /> It is a rather pleasant experience to be alone in a bank at night. ― Willie Sutton <hr /> It is against the grain of modern education to teach children to program. What fun is there in making plans, acquiring discipline in organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail, and learning to be self-critical? ― Alan Perlis <hr /> It is amusing that a virtue is made of the vice of chastity; and it's a pretty odd sort of chastity at that, which leads men straight into the sin of Onan, and girls to the waning of their color. ― Voltaire <hr /> It is bad luck to be superstitious. ― Andrew W. Mathis <hr /> It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. <hr /> It is clear that the individual who persecutes a man, his brother, because he is not of the same opinion, is a monster. ― Voltaire <hr /> It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. ― Franklin D. Roosevelt <hr /> It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper. ― R. Serling <hr /> It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper. ― Rod Serling <hr /> It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa. <hr /> It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them. <hr /> It is easier to get forgiveness than permission. <hr /> It is easier to run down a hill than up one. <hr /> It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one. <hr /> It is generally agreed that "Hello" is an appropriate greeting because if you entered a room and said "Goodbye," it could confuse a lot of people. ― Dolph Sharp, "I'm O.K., You're Not So Hot" <hr /> It is happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust. ― S. Johnson <hr /> It is important to note that probably no large operating system using current design technology can withstand a determined and well-coordinated attack, and that most such documented penetrations have been remarkably easy. ― B. Hebbard, "A Penetration Analysis of the Michigan Terminal System", Operating Systems Review, Vol. 14, No. 1, June 1980, pp. 7-20 <hr /> It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious. ― "Industry at Work," Oilways, n2., 1972, pp. 16-17. Humble Oil &amp; Refining Company., Houston, TX <hr /> It is impossible to travel faster than light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat keeps blowing off. ― Woody Allen <hr /> It is inconceivable that a judicious observer from another solar system would see in our species ― which has tended to be cruel, destructive, wasteful, and irrational ― the crown and apex of cosmic evolution. Viewing us as the culmination of *anything* is grotesque; viewing us as a transitional species makes more sense ― and gives us more hope. ― Betty McCollister, "Our Transitional Species", Free Inquiry magazine, Vol. 8, No. 1 <hr /> It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. <hr /> It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. <hr /> It is necessary for me to establish a winner image. Therefore, I have to beat somebody. ― Richard M. Nixon <hr /> It is not best to swap horses while crossing the river. ― Abraham Lincoln <hr /> It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail. ― Gore Vidal <hr /> It is not true that life is one damn thing after another ― it's one damn thing over and over. ― Edna St. Vincent Millay <hr /> It is not well to be thought of as one who meekly submits to insolence and intimidation. <hr /> It is now 10 p.m. Do you know where Henry Kissinger is? ― Elizabeth Carpenter <hr /> It is now pitch dark. If you proceed, you will likely fall into a pit. <hr /> It is one of the superstitions of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue. ― Voltaire <hr /> It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. <hr /> It is said that the lonely eagle flies to the mountain peaks while the lowly ant crawls the ground, but cannot the soul of the ant soar as high as the eagle? <hr /> It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. ― Henry David Thoreau, "Where I Live" <hr /> It is surely a great calamity for a human being to have no obsessions. ― Robert Bly <hr /> It is the business of little minds to shrink. ― Carl Sandburg <hr /> It is the business of the future to be dangerous. ― Hawkwind <hr /> It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active.

(Speeches. Dublin, 1808.) <hr /> It is the quality rather than the quantity that matters. ― Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 B.C. - A.D. 65) <hr /> It is the wise bird who builds his nest in a tree. <hr /> It is wrong always, everywhere and for everyone to believe anything upon insufficient evidence. ― W. K. Clifford, British philosopher, circa 1876 <hr /> It is your destiny. ― Darth Vader <hr /> It just goes to show what you can do if you're a total psychotic. ― Woody Allen <hr /> It looks like blind screaming hedonism won out. <hr /> It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. <hr /> It may soon be time for you to look for a new line of work. <hr /> It often works better if you plug it in. <hr /> It seems like the less a statesman amounts to, the more he loves the flag. <hr /> It seems to make an auto driver mad if he misses you. <hr /> It takes a long time to understand nothing. ― Edward Dahlberg <hr /> It turned out that the worm exploited three or four different holes in the system. From this, and the fact that we were able to capture and examine some of the source code, we realized that we were dealing with someone very sharp, probably not someone here on campus. ― Dr. Richard LeBlanc, associate professor of ICS, quoted in "The Technique," Georgia Tech's newspaper, after the computer worm hit the Internet <hr /> It was a book to kill time for those who liked it better dead. <hr /> It was always thus; and even if 'twere not, 'twould inevitably have been always thus. ― Dean Lattimer <hr /> It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top. ― Hunter S. Thompson <hr /> It will be advantageous to cross the great stream ... the Dragon is on the wing in the Sky ... the Great Man rouses himself to his Work. <hr /> It works better if you plug it in. <hr /> It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word. ― Andrew Jackson <hr /> It's a fine day to throw a party. Throw him as far as you can. <hr /> It's a poor workman who blames his tools. <hr /> It's all in the mind, ya know. <hr /> It's better to burn out than it is to rust. <hr /> It's better to burn out than to fade away. <hr /> It's currently a problem of access to gigabits through punybaud. ― J. C. R. Licklider <hr /> It's easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them. <hr /> It's easier to get forgiveness for being wrong than forgiveness for being right. <hr /> It's hard to get ivory in Africa, but in Alabama the Tuscaloosa. <hr /> It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs. ― Oxford University Press, Edpress News <hr /> It's later than you think. <hr /> It's like deja vu all over again. ― Yogi Berra <hr /> It's lucky you're going so slowly, because you're going in the wrong direction. <hr /> It's not an optical illusion, it just looks like one. ― Phil White <hr /> It's not enough to be Hungarian; you must have talent too. ― Alexander Korda <hr /> It's not hard to meet expenses; they're everywhere. <hr /> It's not often that you get so much class entertainment outside your bedroom window or outside your bedroom, period. ― Groucho Marx <hr /> It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things. <hr /> It's not that I'm afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens. ― Woody Allen <hr /> It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop. <hr /> It's not what we don't know that gets us into trouble, it's what we know that ain't so. ― Will Rogers <hr /> It's really quite a simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles. <hr /> It's smart to pick your friends - but not to pieces. <hr /> It's so humid, you could poach an egg on the sidewalk. <hr /> <hr /> I always distrust people who know so much about what God wants them to do to their fellows. ― Susan B. Anthony <hr /> I HATE arbitrary limits, especially when they're small. ― Stephen Savitzky <hr /> I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absented myself from Christian assemblies. ― Benjamin Franklin <hr /> I have had interactions with developers who are convinced that everything in .Net was created solely by MS for open source usage. But that could be another result of vaccination preservatives. ― Larry Weber <hr /> I think all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not! And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am. ― Monty Python <hr /> I would defend the liberty of concenting adult creationists to practice whatever intellectual perversions they like in the privacy of their own homes; but it is also necessary to protect the young and innocent. ― Arthur C. Clarke <hr /> I would not dare to so dishonor my Creator God by attaching His name to that book [the Bible]. ― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, Part 1, Section 5 <hr /> I'm also not very analytical. You know, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things. ― George W. Bush, aboard Air Force One; June 4, 2003 <hr /> I'm an evolutionist because I judge the evidence for the unity of life by common descent over billions of years to be overwhelming, not so that I can cheat on my wife or kick the cat with impunity. I live in no hope of heaven or fear of hell, but like most of my fellow Americans of all religious persuasions, I try to live a decent life. Folks like Tom DeLay just can't get it through their heads that a person can choose to live ethically because civilized life requires doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. ― Chet Raymo, science columnist for The Boston Globe, in a 5 Sep, 1999, article on the anti-evolution decision by Kansas School Board <hr /> I am a member of a party of one, and I live in an age of fear. Nothing lately has unsettled my party and raised my fears so much as your editorial, on Thanksgiving Day, suggesting that employees should be required to state their beliefs in order to hold their jobs. The idea is inconsistent with our constitutional theory and has been stubbornly opposed by watchful men since the early days of the Republic. ― E.B. White, in a letter to the New York Herald Tribune (November 29, 1947) <hr /> I am always with myself, and it is I who am my tormenter. ― Leo Tolstoy <hr /> I am astounded ... at the wonderful power you have developed ― and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever. ― Arthur Sullivan, on seeing a demonstration of Edison's new talking machine in 1888 <hr /> I am not now, and never have been, a girl friend of Henry Kissinger. ― Gloria Steinem <hr /> I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter. ― Winston Churchill <hr /> I am the mother of all things, and all things should wear a sweater. <hr /> I am, in point of fact, a particularly haughty and exclusive person, of pre-Adamite ancestral descent. You will understand this when I tell you that I can trace my ancestry back to a protoplasmal primordial atomic globule. Consequently, my family pride is something inconceivable. I can't help it. I was born sneering. ― Pooh-Bah, "The Mikado", Gilbert &amp; Sullivan <hr /> I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean. ― G. K. Chesterton <hr /> I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat. ― Will Rogers <hr /> I'll bet the human brain is a kludge. ― Marvin Minsky <hr /> I can call spirits from the vasty deep. Why so can I, or so can any man; but will they come when you do call for them? ― Shakespeare, King Henry IV, Part I <hr /> I can't complain, but sometimes I still do. ― Joe Walsh <hr /> I cannot affirm God if I fail to affirm man. Therefore, I affirm both. Without a belief in human unity I am hungry and incomplete. Human unity is the fulfillment of diversity. It is the harmony of opposites. It is a many-stranded texture, with color and depth. ― Norman Cousins <hr /> I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions. ― Lillian Hellman <hr /> I contend that we are both atheists.

When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. ― Steven Roberts <hr /> I could prove God statistically. ― George Gallup <hr /> I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat veggies. <hr /> I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any Church that I know of. My own mind is my own church. ― Thomas Paine <hr /> I do not believe that this generation of Americans is willing to resign itself to going to bed each night by the light of a Communist moon... ― Lyndon B.

I fear the lack of them. ― Isaac Asimov <hr /> I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. ― Galileo Galilei <hr /> I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature. ― Thomas Jefferson <hr /> I do not know myself, and God forbid that I should. ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe <hr /> I do not mind what language an opera is sung in so long as it is a language I don't understand. ― Sir Edware Appleton <hr /> I don't believe in astrology. But then I'm an Aquarius, and Aquarians don't believe in astrology. ― James R. F. Quirk <hr /> I don't care if I'm a lemming. I'm not going. <hr /> I don't care if it works on your machine! We are not shipping your machine! ― Vidiu Platon <hr /> I don't have any solution, but I certainly admire the problem. ― Ashleigh Brilliant <hr /> I don't like spreading rumors, but what else can you do with them? <hr /> I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind. ― George Bernard Shaw <hr /> I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives. ― Leray Scifres <hr /> I either want less corruption, or more chance to participate in it. ― Ashleigh Brilliant <hr /> I fart in your general direction, tiny-brained wiper of other people's bottoms. <hr /> I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it. ― Mae West <hr /> I get the feeling that as soon as something appears in the paper, it ceases to be true. ― T-Bone Burnett <hr /> I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves. ― George W. Bush, Washington, D.C.; September 21, 2003 <hr /> I go to seek a great perhaps. ― Francois Rabelais <hr /> I had a great idea this morning but I did not like it. ― Anon <hr /> I had a monumental idea this morning, but I didn't like it. ― Samuel Goldwyn <hr /> I hate quotations. ― Ralph Waldo Emerson <hr /> I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty.

I'm always there when I need me. ― Art Leo <hr /> I like the future, I'm in it. <hr /> I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true. ― Carl Sagan, The Burden Of Skepticism, The Skeptical Inquirer, Vol. 12, Fall 87 <hr /> I must have slipped a disk; my pack hurts. <hr /> I never fail to convince an audience that the best thing they could do was to go away. <hr /> I never met a piece of chocolate I didn't like. <hr /> I profoundly believe it takes a lot of practice to become a moral slob. ― William F. Buckley <hr /> I program, therefore I am. <hr /> I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I decided to get as crude as possible. These days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to crudeness. ― Johnny Mnemonic, by William Gibson <hr /> I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce. ― J. Edgar Hoover <hr /> I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce. ― J. Edgar Hoover <hr /> I sat through it. Why shouldn't you? ― David Letterman, it a spot promoting one of his shows <hr /> I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. <hr /> I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot. ― King Henry V, "Henry V", Act III, Scene 1 <hr /> I simply try to aid in letting the light of historical truth into that decaying mass of outworn thought which attaches the modern world to medieval conceptions of Christianity, and which still lingers among us―a most serious barrier to religion and morals, and a menace to the whole normal evolution of society. ― Andrew D. White, author, first president of Cornell University, 1896 <hr /> I support everyone's right to be an idiot. I may need it someday. <hr /> I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell's ass. ― Senator Barry Goldwater, when asked what he thought of Jerry Falwell's suggestion that all good Christians should be against Sandra Day O'Connor's nomination to the Supreme Court <hr /> I think Microsoft named .NET so it wouldn't show up in a Unix directory listing. ― Oktal <hr /> I think people are reacting to what they perceive to be your simplistic and fetishistic understanding of the economy, which is becoming more and more pronouncedly so in its outward manifestations as you react to your misunderstanding of people's reactions to your reaction to what you perceived as Sam's simplistic and fetishistic understanding of the economy. ― Gordan Todorovac <hr /> I think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability. ― Oscar Wilde <hr /> I think time is crucial to anything. For example, if you lock an infinite number of monkeys in a room with those typewriters, but you limit the amount of time they have to write, the best you'll get out of them is the pilot to The Dukes of Hazzard. ―Doug Sykes <hr /> I think trash is the most important manifestation of culture we have in my lifetime. ― Johnny Legend <hr /> I think we're all Bozos on this bus. <hr /> I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed. ― Marvin <hr /> I tried being reasonable once. I didn't like it. <hr /> I use not only all the brains I have but all that I can borrow. ― Woodrow Wilson <hr /> I used to be indecisive; now I'm not sure. ― Graffiti <hr /> I used to get high on life but lately I've built up a resistance. <hr /> I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure. <hr /> I was brought up in the other service; but I knew from the first that the Devil was my natural master and captain and friend. I saw that he was in the right, and that the world cringed to his conqueror only from fear. ― Shaw, "The Devil's Disciple" <hr /> I was in this prematurely air conditioned supermarket and there were all these aisles and there were these bathing caps you could buy that had these kind of Fourth of July plumes on them that were red and yellow and blue and I wasn't tempted to buy one but I was reminded of the fact that I had been avoiding the beach. ― Lucinda Childs (Philip Glass: Einstein On The Beach) <hr /> I went on to test the program in every way I could devise. I strained it to expose its weaknesses. I ran it for high-mass stars and low-mass stars, for stars born exceedingly hot and those born relatively cold. I ran it assuming the superfluid currents beneath the crust to be absent ― not because I wanted to know the answer, but because I had developed an intuitive feel for the answer in this particular case. Finally I got a run in which the computer showed the pulsar's temperature to be less than absolute zero. I had found an error. I chased down the error and fixed it. Now I had improved the program to the point where it would not run at all. ― George Greenstein, "Frozen Star: Of Pulsars, Black Holes and the Fate of Stars" <hr /> I will never use biometrics. I'm afraid they'll make me change my password. ― Drew Sudell <hr /> I will contend that conceptual integrity is *the* most important consideration in system design. ― Frederick Brooks, Jr., _The Mythical Man Month_ <hr /> I wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence. There's a knob called "brightness", but it doesn't work. ― Gallagher <hr /> I wish they all could be California girls. <hr /> I wish you humans would leave me alone. <hr /> I would defend the liberty of consenting adult creationists to practice whatever intellectual perversions they like in the privacy of their own homes; but it is also necessary to protect the young and innocent. ― Arthur C. Clarke <hr /> I would have promised those terrorists a trip to Disneyland if it would have gotten the hostages released. I thank God they were satisfied with the missiles and we didn't have to go to that extreme. ― Oliver North <hr /> I wouldn't mind dying ― it's that business of having to stay dead that scares the shit out of me. ― R. Geis <hr /> I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous. <hr /> I'll tell you what kind of guy I was. If you ordered a boxcar full of sons-of-bitches and opened the door and only found me inside, you could consider the order filled. ― Robert Mitchum <hr /> I'm a misanthrope. What's your fucking problem? <hr /> I'm growing older, but not up. ― Jimmy Buffett <hr /> I'm in Pittsburgh. Why am I here? ― Harold Urey, Nobel Laureate <hr /> I'm mad, and that's a fact./I found out animals don't help. Animals think they're pretty smart./Shit on the ground, see in the dark. ― Talking Heads (Fear of Music) <hr /> I'm not breaking the rules. I'm just testing their elasticity. <hr /> I'm not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going. <hr /> I've got a bad feeling about this. <hr /> I've had fun before.

They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he had to say, and make fun of it. ― Thomas Carlyle <hr /> If Murphy's Law were true, every time you tried to take a breath, all the air would be on the other side of the room. <hr /> If a President doesn't do it to his wife, he'll do it to his country. <hr /> If a group of N persons implements a COBOL compiler, there will be N-1 passes. Someone in the group has to be the manager. ― T. Cheatham <hr /> If a listener nods his head when you're explaining your program, wake him up. <hr /> If a person (a) is poorly, (b) receives treatment intended to make him better, and (c) gets better, then no power of reasoning known to medical science can convince him that it may not have been the treatment that restored his health. ― Sir Peter Medawar, The Art of the Soluble <hr /> If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error. ― John Kenneth Galbraith <hr /> If all the philosophers in the world were laid end to end, they wouldn't reach a conclusion. <hr /> If all the salmon caught in Canada in one year were laid end to end across the Sahara Desert, the smell would be absolutely awful. <hr /> If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door. ― Paul Beatty <hr /> If all the world's economists were laid end to end, we wouldn't reach a conclusion. ― William Baumol <hr /> If an idea can survive a bureaucratic review and be implemented it isn't worth the effort. <hr /> If anything can go wrong, it will. <hr /> If at first you don't succeed, give up, no use being a damn fool. <hr /> If at first you don't succeed, quit; don't be a nut about success. <hr /> If at first you don't succeed, redefine success. <hr /> If atheism is to be used to express the state of mind in which God is identified with the unknowable, and theology is pronounced to be a collection of meaningless words about unintelligible chimeras, then I have no doubt, and I think few people doubt, that atheists are as plentiful as blackberries... ― Leslie Stephen (1832-1904), literary essayist, author <hr /> If bankers can count, how come they have eight windows and only four tellers? <hr /> If entropy is increasing, where is it coming from? <hr /> If everything is coming your way then you're in the wrong lane. <hr /> If guns are outlawed, how will we shoot the liberals? <hr /> If I was a religious person, I would consider creationism nothing less than blasphemy. Do its adherents imagine that God is a cosmic hoaxer who has created that whole vast fossil record for the sole purpose of misleading mankind? ― Arthur C. Clarke, June 5, 1998, in the essay "Presidents, Experts, and Asteroids" <hr /> If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people? <hr /> If imprinted foil seal under cap is broken or missing when purchased, do not use. <hr /> If it ain't broke, don't fix it. ― Bert Lantz <hr /> If it doesn't come from you, shouldn't it come from Gerber? ― Bristol Meyers baby formula ad <hr /> If it has syntax, it isn't user friendly. <hr /> If it pours before seven, it has rained by eleven. <hr /> If it weren't for Newton, we wouldn't have to eat bruised apples. <hr /> If it's Tuesday, this must be someone else's fortune. <hr /> If it's working, the diagnostics say it's fine. If it's not working, the diagnostics say it's fine. ― A proposed addition to rules for realtime programming <hr /> If life is a stage, I want some better lighting. <hr /> If mathematically you end up with the wrong answer, try multiplying by the page number. <hr /> If money can't buy happiness, I guess you'll just have to rent it. <hr /> If not controlled, work will flow to the competent man until he submerges. <hr /> If one year is seven dog years, then one day is a dog week. <hr /> If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss Bank. ― Woody Allen <hr /> If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank. ― Woody Allen, "Without Feathers" <hr /> If only I could be respected without having to be respectable. <hr /> If only one could get that wonderful feeling of accomplishment without having to accomplish anything. <hr /> If people were required to know the law rather than obey it, the government would be overthrown the very next day. <hr /> If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability. ― Vannevar Bush <hr /> If someone gives you a lemon, make lemonade. ― D. Woodhouse <hr /> If someone had told me I would be Pope one day, I would have studied harder. ― Pope John Paul I <hr /> If someone were to ask me for a short cut to sensuality, I would suggest he go shopping for a used 427 Shelby-Cobra.

Kennedy <hr /> If you always postpone pleasure you will never have it. Quit work and play for awhile. <hr /> If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. <hr /> If you are willing to die, you can do anything. <hr /> If you build something a fool can use, only a fool will want it. <hr /> If you can lead it to water and force it to drink, it isn't a horse. <hr /> If you can survive death, you can probably survive anything. <hr /> If you can't learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly. ― Ashleigh Brilliant <hr /> If you can't say something nice, say something surrealistic. <hr /> If you cannot convince them, confuse them. ― Harry S Truman <hr /> If you cannot take a bird of paradise, better take a wet hen. ― Nikita Khrushchev <hr /> If you don't care where you are, then you ain't lost. <hr /> If you explain so clearly that nobody can misunderstand, somebody will. <hr /> If you give Congress a chance to vote on both sides of an issue, it will always do it. ― Les Aspin, D., Wisconsin <hr /> If you had any brains, you'd be dangerous. <hr /> If you have to push so hard that you break your penis, you are doing something wrong. — Frank McLaughlin <hr /> If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some. <hr /> If you live in a country run by committee, be on the committee. ― Graham Summer <hr /> If you make a mistake, you right it immediately to the best of your ability. <hr /> If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think they'll hate you. <hr /> If you meet somebody who tells you that he loves you more than anybody in the whole wide world, don't trust him. It means he experiments. <hr /> If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. ― Maslow <hr /> If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way will promptly develop. <hr /> If you push the "extra ice" button on the soft drink vending machine, you won't get any ice.

Corresponding errors will show up in the duplicate while the Boss is reading it. <hr /> In America, any boy may become president and I suppose that's just one of the risks he takes. ― Adlai Stevenson <hr /> In English, every word can be verbed. Would that it were so in our programming languages. <hr /> In a five year period we can get one superb programming language. Only, we can't control when the five year period will begin. <hr /> In an organization, each person rises to the level of his own incompetence. ― The Peter Principle <hr /> In any formula, constants (especially those obtained from handbooks) are to be treated as variables. <hr /> In arguing that current theories of brain function cast suspicion on ESP, psychokinesis, reincarnation, and so on, I am frequently challenged with the most popular of all neuro-mythologies ― the notion that we ordinarily use only 10 percent of our brains... This "cerebral spare tire" concept continues to nourish the clientele of "pop psychologists" and their many recycling self-improvement schemes. As a metaphor for the fact that few of us fully exploit our talents, who could deny it? As a refuge for occultists seeking a neural basis of the miraculous, it leaves much to be desired. ― Barry L. Beyerstein, "The Brain and Conciousness: Implications for Psi Phenomena", The Skeptical Enquirer, Vol. XII, No. 2, pg. 171 <hr /> In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to Liberty.

Even if one has to run some risks, one must be brave and strong enough to meet and overcome vexing challenges to maintain a successful business in the long run. I cannot help saying that Americans lack this necessary challenging spirit today. ― Hajime Karatsu <hr /> In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, intelligence is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office. ― Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" <hr /> In software, we rarely have meaningful requirements. Even if we do, the only measure of success that matters is whether our solution solves the customer's shifting idea of what their problem is. ― Jeff Atwood <hr /> In the Top 40, half the songs are secret messages to the teen world to drop out, turn on, and groove with the chemicals and light shows at discotheques. ― Art Linkletter <hr /> In the beginning I was made.

Mathis <hr /> It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. <hr /> It is clear that the individual who persecutes a man, his brother, because he is not of the same opinion, is a monster. ― Voltaire <hr /> It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. ― Franklin D.

Viewing us as the culmination of *anything* is grotesque; viewing us as a transitional species makes more sense ― and gives us more hope. ― Betty McCollister, "Our Transitional Species", Free Inquiry magazine, Vol. 8, No. 1 <hr /> It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. <hr /> It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. <hr /> It is necessary for me to establish a winner image.

To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. ― Henry David Thoreau, "Where I Live" <hr /> It is surely a great calamity for a human being to have no obsessions. ― Robert Bly <hr /> It is the business of little minds to shrink. ― Carl Sandburg <hr /> It is the business of the future to be dangerous. ― Hawkwind <hr /> It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt. ― John Philpot Curran: Speech upon the Right of Election, 1790.

From this, and the fact that we were able to capture and examine some of the source code, we realized that we were dealing with someone very sharp, probably not someone here on campus. ― Dr. Richard LeBlanc, associate professor of ICS, quoted in "The Technique," Georgia Tech's newspaper, after the computer worm hit the Internet <hr /> It was a book to kill time for those who liked it better dead. <hr /> It was always thus; and even if 'twere not, 'twould inevitably have been always thus. ― Dean Lattimer <hr /> It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top. ― Hunter S.

Otherwise, you will run out of hands, but still have an overcapacity in feet. <hr /> Jones' Motto: Friends come and go, but enemies accumulate. <hr /> Jones's First Law: Anyone who makes a significant contribution to any field of endeavor, and stays in that field long enough, becomes an obstruction to its progress ― in direct proportion to the importance of their original contribution. <hr /> Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it. <hr /> Jury ― Twelve people who determine which client has the better lawyer. <hr /> Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed. ― Southern California Oracle <hr /> Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they AREN'T after you. <hr /> Just because your doctor has a name for your condition doesn't mean he knows what it is. <hr /> Just because your doctor has a name for your condition doesn't mean he knows what it is. <hr /> Just give Alice some pencils and she will stay busy for hours. ― B.

Unlike most automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gage, nor any of the numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver.

And what should be is a fantasy, a terrible, terrible lie somebody gave the people long ago. ― Lenny Bruce <hr /> Let not the sands of time get in your lunch. <hr /> Let the machine do the dirty work. <hr /> Let us, then, fellow citizens, unite with one heart and one mind. Let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and affection without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things. And let us reflect that having banished from our land that religious intolerance under which mankind so long bled, we have yet gained little if we countenance a political intolerance as despotic, as wicked, and capable of a bitter and bloody persecutions. ― Thomas Jefferson <hr /> Let's give discredit where discredit is due. ― Karl Lehenbauer <hr /> Lewis's Law of Travel: The first piece of luggage out of the chute doesn't belong to anyone, ever. <hr /> Liar, n.: A lawyer with a roving commission. ― Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" <hr /> Liar: One who tells an unpleasant truth. <hr /> Liberty is the mother not the daughter of order. ― Proudhon <hr /> Lie: A very poor substitute for the truth, but the only one discovered to date. <hr /> Lieberman's Law: Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter since nobody listens. <hr /> Lies written in ink can never disguise facts written in blood.

I'm not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. That, or His Dudeness … Duder … or El Duderino, if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing. ― The Dude ("The Big Lebowski") <hr /> Lord, defend me from my friends; I can account for my enemies. ― D'Hericault <hr /> Los Angeles is a geometropolitan predicament rather than a city. You can no more administer it than you could administer the solar system. ― Jonathan Miller <hr /> Lots of folks confuse bad management with destiny. ― Elbert Hubbard <hr /> Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea. <hr /> Love means never having to say, "Put down that meat cleaver." <hr /> Love your enemies: they'll go crazy trying to figure out what you're up to. <hr /> Lowery's Law: If it jams ― force it.

We should be reluctant to turn back upon the frontier of this epoch. Space is indifferent to what we do; it has no feeling, no design, no interest in whether or not we grapple with it. But we cannot be indifferent to space, because the grand, slow march of intelligence has brought us, in our generation, to a point from which we can explore and understand and utilize it. To turn back now would be to deny our history, our capabilities. ― James A. Michener <hr /> My past is my own. ― The Shadow (DC Comics) <hr /> <hr /> Naeser's Law: You can make it foolproof, but you can't make it damnfoolproof. <hr /> Natural gas is hemispheric.

The elevator's motion coupled with the chemicals in coke produce hallucinations. People tend to change into lizards and attack without warning, and large bats usually fly in the window. Additionally, you begin to believe that elevators have windows. <hr /> Never insult an alligator until you have crossed the river. <hr /> Never invest your money in anything that eats or needs painting. ― Billy Rose <hr /> Never lick a gift horse in the mouth. <hr /> Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether. <hr /> Never say you know a man until you have divided an inheritance with him. <hr /> Never throw a bird at a dragon. <hr /> Never count your chickens until they rip your lips off. <hr /> New Year's Eve is the time of year when a man most feels his age, and his wife most often reminds him to act it. ― Webster's Unafraid Dictionary <hr /> New York... when civilization falls apart, remember, we were way ahead of you. ― David Letterman <hr /> New boots, big steps. ― Chinese Proverb <hr /> New systems generate new problems. <hr /> Newlan's Truism: An "acceptable" level of unemployment means that the government economist to whom it is acceptable still has a job. <hr /> Newton's Fourth Law: Every action has an equal and opposite satisfaction. <hr /> Newton's Little-Known Seventh Law: A bird in the hand is safer than one overhead. <hr /> Next Friday will not be your lucky day.

We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. it is simply too painful to acknowledge ― even to ourselves ― that we've been so credulous. (So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new bamboozles rise.) ― Carl Sagan, "The Fine Art of Baloney Detection," Parade, February 1, 1987 <hr /> One seldom sees a monument to a committee. <hr /> One thing the inventors can't seem to get the bugs out of is fresh paint. <hr /> One way to stop a runaway horse is to bet on him. <hr /> One's mind, stretched to a new idea, never goes back to its original dimension. <hr /> Only God can make random selections. <hr /> Opinions are like assholes: everyone's got one, but nobody wants to look at the other guy's. ― Hal Hickman <hr /> Optimists say the glass is half full, pessimists say the glass is half empty, engineers say the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. <hr /> Optimization hinders evolution. <hr /> Optimization is not some mystical state of grace, it is an intricate act of human labor which carries real costs and real risks. ― Tom Neff <hr /> Ordinary people: I fuckin' hate 'em. ― Harry Dean Stanton in "Repo Man" <hr /> Oregon, n.: Eighty billion gallons of water with no place to go on Saturday night. <hr /> Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds.

Terrific energy is expended ― civilizations are built up ― excellent institutions devised; but each time something goes wrong. Some fatal flaw always brings the selfish and cruel people to the top, and then it all slides back into misery and ruin. In fact, the machine conks.

For this reason restricting language features with the intent of eliminating programmer errors is at best dangerous. ― Bjarne Stroustrup in "The C++ Programming Language" <hr /> The correct way to punctuate a sentence that starts: "Of course it is none of my business, but ―" is to place a period after the word "but." Don't use excessive force in supplying such a moron with a period. Cutting his throat is only a momentary pleasure and is bound to get you talked about. ― Lazarus Long, "Time Enough for Love" <hr /> The cost of living hasn't affected its popularity. <hr /> The cost of living is going up, and the chance of living is going down. <hr /> The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. ― Franklin Delano Roosevelt <hr /> The cow is nothing but a machine which makes grass fit for us people to eat. ― John McNulty <hr /> The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his Father, in the womb of a virgin will be classified with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.

These are the manager's chief personal tools. ― Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., The Mythical Man Month <hr /> The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place. ― attributed to Douglas Adams <hr /> The ideal is impossible. The idea of the ideal is essential. ― P. Taylor <hr /> The inability to benefit from feedback appears to be the primary cause of pseudoscience. Pseudoscientists retain their beliefs and ignore or distort contradictory evidence rather than modify or reject a flawed theory.

This simple but basic scientific criterion has not been met despite dozens of studies conducted over many decades... It is for this reason alone that the topic is now of little interest to psychology... In short, there is no demonstrated phenomenon that needs explanation. ― Keith E. Stanovich, "How to Think Straight About Psychology", pp. 160-161 <hr /> The reason computer chips are so small is computers don't eat much. <hr /> The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel. ― Steve Furtick <hr /> The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

One can expect the human race to continue attempting systems just within or just beyond our reach; and software systems are perhaps the most intricate and complex of man's handiworks. The management of this complex craft will demand our best use of new languages and systems, our best adaptation of proven engineering management methods, liberal doses of common sense, and ... humility to recognize our fallibility and limitations. ― Frederick Brooks, Jr., The Mythical Man Month <hr /> The Three Laws of Thermodynamics The First Law: You can't get anything without working for it.

W. Dijkstra (1982) <hr /> The vigor of civilized societies is preserved by the widespread sense that high aims are worth-while.

One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs. ― John Rogers (kfmonkey.blogspot.com/2009/03/ephemera-2009-7.html) <hr /> There are two ways of constructing a software design.

Never in the history of war have so few been led by so many. ― General James Gavin <hr /> When you are alone you are all your own. ― Leonardo da Vinci <hr /> When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut. <hr /> When you do not know what you are doing, do it neatly. <hr /> When you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship. ― Harry S Truman <hr /> When you make your mark in the world, watch out for guys with erasers. ― The Wall Street Journal <hr /> Whenever anyone says, "theoretically", they really mean, "not really". ― Dave Parnas <hr /> Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong. ― Oscar Wilde <hr /> Where a new invention promises to be useful, it ought to be tried ― Thomas Jefferson <hr /> Where humor is concerned there are no standards ― no one can say what is good or bad, although you can be sure that everyone will. ― John Kenneth Galbraith <hr /> Where is it written in the Constitution that you may take children from their parents, and parents from their children, and compel them to fight the battles of any war in which the folly or wickedness of government may engage it? ― Daniel Webster, 1814 <hr /> Where there's a will, there's an Inheritance Tax. <hr /> Wherever you go, there you are. ― Buckaroo Banzai <hr /> Whether you can hear it or not The Universe is laughing behind your back ― National Lampoon, "Deteriorada" <hr /> While Europe's eye is fix'd on mighty things, The fate of empires and the fall of kings; While quacks of State must each produce his plan, And even children lisp the Rights of Man; Amid this mighty fuss just let me mention, The Rights of Woman merit some attention. ― Robert Burns, Address on "The Rights of Woman", November 26, 1792 <hr /> While anyone can admit to themselves they were wrong, the true test is admission to someone else. <hr /> While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of misery. <hr /> While most peoples' opinions change, the conviction of their correctness never does. <hr /> While you don't greatly need the outside world, it's still very reassuring to know that it's still there. <hr /> Whipit! Whipit good! <hr /> Whistler's Law: You never know who is right, but you always know who is in charge. <hr /> Who has more leisure than a worm? - Seneca <hr /> Who is W. O. Baker, and why is he saying those terrible things about me? <hr /> Who made the world I cannot tell; 'Tis made, and here am I in hell. My hand, though now my knuckles bleed, I never soiled with such a deed. ― A. E.

He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage. ― Woody Allen, "Without Feathers" <hr /> Why does opportunity always knock at the least opportune moment? <hr /> Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person? ― La Rochefoucauld <hr /> Why is it that there are so many more horses' asses than there are horses? ― G. Gordon Liddy <hr /> Why isn't "palindrome" spelled the same way backwards? <hr /> Why isn't there a special name for the tops of your feet? ― Lily Tomlin <hr /> Wiker's Law: Government expands to absorb all available revenue and then some. <hr /> Wiker's Law: Government expands to absorb revenue and then some. <hr /> Will the highways on the Internet become more few? ― George W.

In addition to paper and pens, he took with him everywhere as an indispensable article of equipment the coffee machine, which was no less important to him than his table or his white robe. ― Stefan Zweigs, Biography of Balzac <hr /> Without ice cream life and fame are meaningless. <hr /> Words are the voice of the heart. <hr /> Words must be weighed, not counted. <hr /> Worst Vegetable of the Year: The brussels sprout. This is also the worst vegetable of next year. ― Steve Rubenstein <hr /> Wozencraft's Law: If you make all of your plans on the assumption that a particular thing won't happen―it will. <hr /> Writing code has a place in the human hierarchy worth somewhere above grave robbing and beneath managing. ― Gerald Weinberg <hr /> Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down. <hr /> Writing in C or C++ is like running a chain saw with all the safety guards removed. ― Bob Gray <hr /> Writing programs needs genius to save the last order or the last millisecond. It is great fun, but it is a young man's game. You start it with great enthusiasm when you first start programming, but after ten years you get a bit bored with it, and then you turn to automatic-programming languages and use them because they enable you to get to the heart of the problem that you want to do, instead of having to concentrate on the mechanics of getting the program going as fast as you possibly can, which is really nothing more than doing a sort of crossword puzzle. ― Christopher Strachey, 1962 <hr /> Xerox does it again and again and again and ... <hr /> Xerox never comes up with anything original. <hr /> XML is just data with that Internet shit wrapped around it. ― Joe Romello, by way of Steve Sapovits <hr /> Yes, but every time I try to see things your way, I get a headache. <hr /> Yes, but which self do you want to be? <hr /> Yes, many primitive people still believe this myth...But in today's technical vastness of the future, we can guess that surely things were much different. ― The Firesign Theater <hr /> Yes, we have no bonanzas. <hr /> Yesterday upon the stair I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today ― I think he's from the CIA. <hr /> Yield to Temptation ... it may not pass your way again. ― Lazarus Long, "Time Enough for Love" <hr /> Yinkel, n.: A person who combs his hair over his bald spot, hoping no one will notice. ― Rich Hall, "Sniglets" <hr /> You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word. ― Al Capone <hr /> You can make it illegal, but you can't make it unpopular. <hr /> You can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his attitude on the continuing viability of FORTRAN. ― Alan Perlis <hr /> You can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on. ― Harry S Truman <hr /> You can observe a lot just by watching. ― Yogi Berra <hr /> You can often profit from being at a loss for words. ― Frank Tyger <hr /> You can take all the impact that science considerations have on funding decisions at NASA, put them in the navel of a flea, and have room left over for a caraway seed and Tony Calio's heart. ― F. Allen <hr /> You can tell how far we have to go, when FORTRAN is the language of supercomputers. ― Steven Feiner <hr /> You can't antagonize and influence at the same time. <hr /> You can't carve your way to success without cutting remarks. <hr /> You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. <hr /> You can't get there from here. <hr /> You can't have great software without a great team, and most software teams behave like dysfunctional families. ― Jim McCarthy <hr /> You can't judge a book by the way it wears its hair. <hr /> You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now. ― Lauren Bacall <hr /> You can't teach self-esteem. Self-esteem arises from attempting challenging tasks and mastering them. <hr /> You can't underestimate the power of fear. ― Tricia Nixon <hr /> You cannot achieve the impossible without attempting the absurd. <hr /> You cannot build a reputation on what you are going to do. ― Henry Ford <hr /> You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back. <hr /> You cannot succeed by criticizing others. <hr /> You couldn't even prove the White House staff sane beyond a reasonable doubt. ― Ed Meese, on the Hinckley verdict <hr /> You don't have to explain something you never said. ― Calvin Coolidge <hr /> You don't have to think too hard when you talk to teachers. ― J. D. Salinger <hr /> You know, you really half give me a buzz. ― Stevie Ray Vaughan, "Honey Bee" (from "Couldn't Stand the Weather") <hr /> You know why there are so few sophisticated computer terrorists in the United States? Because your hackers have so much mobility into the establishment. Here, there is no such mobility. If you have the slightest bit of intellectual integrity you cannot support the government.... That's why the best computer minds belong to the opposition. ― an anonymous member of the outlawed Polish trade union, Solidarity <hr /> You may call me by my name, Wirth, or by my value, Worth. ― Nicklaus Wirth <hr /> You may have heard that a dean is to faculty as a hydrant is to a dog. ― Alfred Kahn <hr /> You never know how many friends you have until you rent a house on the beach. <hr /> You never finish a program, you just stop working on it. <hr /> You or I must yield up his life to Ahrimanes. I would rather it were you. I should have no hesitation in sacrificing my own life to spare yours, but we take stock next week, and it would not be fair on the company. ― J. Wellington Wells <hr /> You see but you do not observe. ― Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" <hr /> You should emulate your heros, but don't carry it too far. Especially if they are dead. <hr /> You should never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and liberty. ― Henrick Ibson <hr /> You're never too old to become younger. ― Mae West <hr /> Your attitude determines your attitude. ― Zig Ziglar, self-improvement doofus <hr /> Your conscience never stops you from doing anything. It just stops you from enjoying it. <hr /> Your mind understands what you have been taught; your heart, what is true. <hr /> Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries. <hr /> Your reality is lies and balderdash, and I'm glad to say that I have no grasp of it. ― Baron von Munchausen <hr /> Your true value depends entirely on what you are compared with. <hr /> Youth is the trustee of posterity. <hr /> Youth is wasted on the young. ― George Bernard Shaw <hr /> Youth is when you blame all your troubles on your parents; maturity is when you learn that everything is the fault of the younger generation. <hr /> [In the U. S. Army] An officer does not take an oath of loyalty to the Commander-in-Chief. He takes an oath of loyalty to the Constitution. ― Sam Donaldson <hr /> [Leslie Stahl was] a pussy compared to Rather. ― George H. W. Bush <hr /> grep me no patterns and I'll tell you no lines. <hr /> After all, all he did was string together a lot of old, well-known quotations. ― H. L. Mencken, on Shakespeare <hr /> All successful newspapers are ceaselessly querulous and bellicose. They never defend anyone or anything if they can help it; if the job is forced upon them, they tackle it by denouncing someone or something else. ― H.L. Mencken, Prejudices, 1919. <hr /> A man who can laugh, if only at himself, is never really miserable. ― H.L. Mencken, Minority Report, 1956 <hr /> College football is a game which would be much more interesting if the faculty played instead of the students, and even more interesting if the trustees played. There would be a great increase in broken arms, legs, and necks, and simultaneously an appreciable diminution in the loss to humanity. ― H. L. Mencken <hr /> Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking. ― H. L. Mencken, "Sententiae," The Vintage Mencken, 1955. <hr /> Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses. ― H. L. Mencken <hr /> Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. ― H.L. Mencken <hr /> Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable. ― H. L. Mencken <hr /> Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ― H. L. Mencken, "The Divine Afflatus" (16 November 1917) <hr /> Equality before the law is probably forever inattainable. It is a noble ideal, but it can never be realized, for what men value in this world is not rights but privileges. ― H.L. Mencken, Minority Report, 1956 <hr /> Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable. ― H.L. Mencken, "Prejudices: Third Series", 1922 <hr /> For one American husband who maintains a chorus girl in Levantine luxury around the corner, there are hundreds who are as true to their oaths, year in and year out, as so many convicts in the deathhouse. ― H.L. Mencken, In Defense of Women, 1922. <hr /> I believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind―that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overborne by the damage it has done to clear and honest thinking. ― H. L. Mencken, "Forum" (September, 1930) <hr /> I go on working for the same reason a hen goes on laying eggs. ― H. L. Mencken <hr /> Judge: a law student who marks his own examination papers. ― H.L. Mencken, "Sententiae," The Vintage Mencken, 1955 <hr /> Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. ― attributed to H. L. Mencken <hr /> Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later. For another thing, they die earlier. ― H.L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy, 1949. <hr /> My guess is that well over eighty per cent of the human race goes through life without ever having a single original thought. That is to say, they never think anything that has not been thought before, and by thousands. A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable. The pressure of ideas would simply drive it frantic. ― H.L. Mencken, Minority Report, 1956 <hr /> Never let your inferiors do you a favor. It will be extremely costly. ― H.L. Mencken, "Sententiae," The Vintage Mencken, 1955. <hr /> No government is ever really in favor of so-called civil rights. It always tries to whittle them down. They are preserved under all governments, insofar as they survive at all, by special classes of fanatics, often highly dubious. ― H.L. Mencken, Minority Report, 1956 <hr /> No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. ― Attributed to H.L. Mencken. <hr /> Nowhere in the world is superiority more easily attained, or more eagerly admitted. The chief business of the nation, as a nation, is the setting up of heroes, mainly bogus. ― H.L. Mencken, Prejudices, 1923. <hr /> Once he had one leg in the White House and the nation trembled under his roars. Now he is a tinpot pope in the Coca-Cola belt and a brother to the forlorn pastors who belabor halfwits in galvanized iron tabernacles behind the railroad yards. ― H. L. Mencken, writing of William Jennings Bryan, counsel for the supporters of Tennessee's anti-evolution law at the Scopes "Monkey Trial" in 1925. <hr /> Say what you will about the Ten Commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them. ― H. L. Mencken <hr /> Sin is a dangerous toy in the hands of the virtuous. It should be left to the congenitally sinful, who know when to play with it and when to let it alone. ― H. L. Mencken <hr /> Suppose two-thirds of the members of the national House of Representatives were dumped into the Washington garbage incinerator tomorrow, what would we lose to offset our gain of their salaries and the salaries of their parasites? ― H. L. Mencken, "Prejudices, Fourth Series" (1924) <hr /> The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal. ― H. L. Mencken <hr /> The chief contribution of Protestantism to human thought is its massive proof that God is a bore. ― H.L. Mencken, "The Aesthetic Recoil," American Mercury, July, 1931. <hr /> The great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man―that is, virtuous in the YMCA sense―has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman. ― H.L. Mencken, Prejudices, 1919. <hr /> The highfalutin aims of democracy, whether real or imaginary, are always assumed to be identical with its achievements. This, of course, is sheer hallucination. Not one of those aims, not even the aim of giving every adult a vote, has been realized. It has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good. ― H.L. Mencken, Minority Report, 1956 <hr /> The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind. ― H.L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy, 1949. <hr /> The notion that science does not concern itself with first causes ― that it leaves the field to theology or metaphysics, and confines itself to mere effects ― this notion has no support in the plain facts. If it could, science would explain the origin of life on earth at once ― and there is every reason to believe that it will do so on some not too remote tomorrow. To argue that gaps in knowledge which will confront the seeker must be filled, not by patient inquiry, but by intuition or revelation, is simply to give ignorance a gratuitous and preposterous dignity.... ― H. L. Mencken, 1930 <hr /> The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear―fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable. What he wants beyond everything else is safety. ― H.L. Mencken, Prejudices, 1920. <hr /> The truth is that Christian theology, like every other theology, is not only opposed to the scientific spirit; it is also opposed to all other attempts at rational thinking. Not by accident does Genesis 3 make the father of knowledge a serpent ― slimy, sneaking and abominable. Since the earliest days the church as an organization has thrown itself violently against every effort to liberate the body and mind of man. It has been, at all times and everywhere, the habitual and incorrigible defender of bad governments, bad laws, bad social theories, bad institutions. It was, for centuries, an apologist for slavery, as it was the apologist for the divine right of kings. ― H. L. Mencken <hr /> There is, in fact, no reason to believe that any given natural phenomenon, however marvelous it may seem today, will remain forever inexplicable. Soon or late the laws governing the production of life itself will be discovered in the laboratory, and man may set up business as a creator on his own account. The thing, indeed, is not only conceivable; it is even highly probable. ― H. L. Mencken, 1930 <hr /> To sum up: 1. The cosmos is a gigantic fly-wheel making 10,000 revolutions a minute. 2. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it. 3. Religion is the theory that the wheel was designed and set spinning to give him the ride. ― H. L. Mencken, Coda from "Smart Set", 1920 <hr /> When women kiss it always reminds one of prize-fighters shaking hands. ― H. L. Mencken, "Sententiae," The Vintage Mencken, 1955. <hr /> When A annoys or injures B on the pretense of saving or improving X, A is a scoundrel. ― H. L. Mencken, "Newspaper Days: 1899-1906" (1941) <hr /> Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country it is a sign that he expects to be paid for it. ― H.L. Mencken, "Sententiae," The Vintage Mencken, 1955. <hr /> From Fronto I learned to observe what envy, and duplicity, and hypocrisy are in a tyrant, and that generally those among us who are called Patricians are rather deficient in paternal affection. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book I <hr /> The time of a man's life is as a point; the substance of it ever flowing, the sense obscure; and the whole composition of the body tending to corruption. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book II <hr /> That [life] which is longest of duration, and that which is shortest, both come to one effect. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book II <hr /> You must, therefore, hasten, not only because you are every day nearer to death, but also because your intellect, which enables you to know the true nature of things and to order all your actions by that knowledge, wastes and decays daily―or, may fail you before you die. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book II <hr /> Never esteem of anything as profitable, which shell ever constrain thee to break thy faith, or to lose thy modestroy; to hate any man, to suspect to curse, to dissemble, to lust after anything, that requireth the secret of walls or veils. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book III <hr /> He who prefers, before all things, his rational part and spirit... he shall never lament and exclaim; never sigh; he shall never want either solitude or company; and, which is chiefest of all, he shall live without either desire or fear. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book III <hr /> Let no act be done without a purpose, nor otherwise than according to the perfect principles of art. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> Take away your opinion, and you then take away the complaint, "I have been harmed." Take away the complaint, "I have been harmed," and the harm is taken away. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> Many grains of frankincense on the same altar: one falls before, another falls after; but it makes no difference. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> How much trouble he avoids who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does or thinks, but only to what he does himself, that it may be just and pure. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> Everything which is in any way beautiful is beautiful in itself, and terminates in itself, not having praise as part of itself. Neither worse, then, nor better is a thing made by being praised. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> The words which were formerly familiar are now antiquated: so also the names of those who were famed of old, are now in a manner antiquated... For all things soon pass away and become a mere tale, and complete oblivion soon buries them. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> Thou art a little soul bearing about a corpse, as Epictetus used to say. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream; for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> Be like the promontory against which the waves continually break, but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IV <hr /> How easy it is to repel and to wipe away every impression which is troublesome or unsuitable, and immediately to be in all tranquility. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book V <hr /> To seek what is impossible is madness: and it is impossible that the bad should not do something of this kind. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book V <hr /> The best way of avenging yourself is not to become like the wrong-doer. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book VI <hr /> If any man is able to convince me and show me that I do not think or act right, I will gladly change; for I seek the truth by which no man was ever injured. But he is injured who abides in his error and ignorance. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book VI <hr /> Let not future things disturb you, for you will come to them, if it shall be necessary, having with you the same reason which you now use for present things. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book VII <hr /> Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance; and be ready to let it go. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book VIII <hr /> He often acts unjustly who does not do a certain thing; not only he who does a certain thing. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IX <hr /> It is your duty to leave another man's wrongful act there, where it is. ― Marcus Aurelius, "The Meditations", Book IX <hr /> America is a ball of Appalachia with a thin coating of civility. ― Rich Simons <hr /> American justice is measured by the amount of money you are willing to risk to make your point. ― Rich Simons <hr /> America has become a tired old whore, selling her institutions like back alley blowjobs to fat cat businessmen for their pocket change. ― Rich Simons <hr /> But in the end I remind myself that people are merely shaved apes, and pretty much spend their time masturbating and throwing feces. ― Rich Simons <hr /> I am waiting for the "Internet Beermeister," so hackers can wage a "Denial of Cerveza" attack. ― Rich Simons <hr /> Money doesn't stretch―if somebody makes a killing, somebody else loses his shirt. ― Rich Simons <hr /> Never work anywhere where you can't find the guy in charge and break his nose. ― Rich Simons <hr /> Nothing is more dangerous than a man whose actions are the responsibility of his deity. ― Rich Simons <hr /> Some people hold their noses when used as toilet paper by the shadowy overlords; some people inhale the heady aroma with gusto. ― Rich Simons <hr /> Those who sacrifice liberty for the sake of safety deserve neither, but those who sacrifice creativity for safety end up with a velvet painting of Elvis. ― Rich Simons <hr /> Windows is a manifestation of commerce; Unix is a manifestation of culture. ― Rich Simons <hr /> Working in Windows is like baking moose shit pie. Sure, you're baking pies, but look what's in 'em. ― Rich Simons <hr /> I prefer the company of men without ovaries. ― Rich Simons <hr /> The American business executive resembles the Ferengi more each day. In another 20 years, there will be dorm rooms full of toothless hillbillies at the Amazon fulfillment centers and the Walmarts. ― Rich Simons <hr /> Be cautious of those who give you advice. That's my advice to you. ― Steve Mayr <hr /> If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Sounds like a plan. ― Steve Mayr <hr /> If you take the easy way out, nothing will come easy. ― Steve Mayr <hr /> By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth. ― George Carlin <hr /> Here's a bumper sticker I'd like to see: "We are the proud parents of a child who's self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn't need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car." ― George Carlin <hr /> Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy. ― George Carlin <hr /> I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it. ― George Carlin <hr /> I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death. ― George Carlin <hr /> I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately. ― George Carlin <hr /> If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. ― George Carlin <hr /> If God had intended us not to masturbate, he would've made our arms shorter. ― George Carlin <hr /> If this is the best God can do, I'm not impressed. ― George Carlin <hr /> Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you Spiritual. It's right above the crack of your butt. And it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. ― George Carlin <hr /> The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." ― George Carlin <hr /> There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls. ― George Carlin <hr /> American justice is measured by the amount of money you are willing to risk to make your point. ― Rich Simons <hr /> America has become a tired old whore, selling her institutions like back alley blowjobs to fat cat businessmen for their pocket change. ― Rich Simons <hr /> But in the end I remind myself that people are merely shaved apes, and pretty much spend their time masturbating and throwing feces. ― Rich Simons <hr /> Anybody who wants religion is welcome to it, as far as I'm concerned ― I support your right to enjoy it. However, I would appreciate it if you exhibited more respect for the rights of those people who do not wish to share your dogma, rapture or necrodestination. ― Frank Zappa, "The Real Frank Zappa Book" <hr /> Don't eat yellow snow. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> Hey, you know something, people? I'm not black, but there's a whole lot of times I wish I could say I'm not white. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> I think pop music has done more for oral intercourse than anything else that has ever happened, and vice versa. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> If you wind up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mother, your Dad, your priest, to some guy on television, to any of the people telling you how to do your shit, then you *deserve* it. If you want to be a schmuck, be a schmuck ― but don't wait around for respect from other people ― a schmuck is a schmuck. ― Frank Zappa, "The Real Frank Zappa Book" <hr /> In the future, etiquette will become more and more important. That doesn't mean knowing which fork to pick up ― I mean basic consideration for the rights of other animals (human beings included) and the willingness, whenever practical, to tolerate the other guy's idiosyncrasies. ― Frank Zappa, "The Real Frank Zappa Book" <hr /> Is that a real poncho? I mean, is that a Mexican poncho or a Sears poncho? Hmmm... No fooling. ― Frank Zappa, "Camarillo Brillo" <hr /> Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ass. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> Modern Americans behave as if intelligence were some sort of hideous deformity. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> Most rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for the people who can't read. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> Remember, Information is not knowledge; Knowledge is not Wisdom; Wisdom is not truth; Truth is not beauty; Beauty is not love; Love is not music; Music is the best. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> Remember, there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> Take the Kama Sutra. How many people died from the Kama Sutra as opposed to the Bible? Who wins? ― Frank Zappa <hr /> The bassoon is one of my favorite instruments. It has a medieval aroma, like the days when everything used to sound like that. Some people crave baseball...I find this unfathomable, but I can easily understand why a person could get excited about playing the bassoon. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> The Book says BURN and DESTROY repent and redeem and revenge and deploy and rumble thee forth to the land of the unbelieving scum 'cause they don't go for what's in the Book and that makes 'em BAD. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> The essence of Christianity is told to us in the Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the Tree of Knowledge. The subtext is, "All the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on. You could be in the Garden of Eden if you had just kept your fucking mouth shut and hadn't asked any questions." ― Frank Zappa <hr /> There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> There is no such thing as a dirty word. Nor is there a word so powerful, that it's going to send the listener to the lake of fire upon hearing it. ― Frank Zappa <hr /> Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit. ― Randall Munroe, xkcd <hr /> There's no such thing as bad language. I don't believe that any more. That's ridiculous. They call it a "debasing of the language?" No! We are adults. These are the words that WE use, to express frustration, rage, anger―in order that we don't pick up a tire iron and beat the shit out of someone. ― Lewis Black <hr /> I don't know if you noticed, but our two-party system is a bowl of shit looking in the mirror at itself. ― Lewis Black <hr /> There is a big difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament, and that is, the New Testament God is kind of a great guy (He is!), especially when you compare him to the Old Testament God, who is a prick. ― Lewis Black <hr /> The reason you should go to Las Vegas is because, for only the second time, the second time, ever, they have rebuilt Sodom and Gomorrah. It's back!! And you have the opportunity to see it before it turns to salt. And you wanna get out there before the Christian Right finds out what we're up to and shits all over it. ― Lewis Black <hr /> [The Weather Channel] is the most watched cable channel in America. I'll repeat that. It is the most watched cable channel in America. They were worried about the terrorists immobilizing us, and a portion of our countrymen watch weather. 'Kay, you don't get any more immobile than that... unless you're in a goddamn coma. That means you're saying, "I'd go to the window, but it's too far." If you want to know what the weather is you go to a window and stick your hand out and if you want to know what the temperature is you drive by a bank. ― Lewis Black <hr /> There's no such thing as soy milk. It's soy juice. But they couldn't sell soy juice, so they called it soy milk. Because anytime you say soy juice, you actually... start to gag. ― Lewis Black <hr /> You don't want another Enron? Here's the law: If you have a company, and it can't explain, in one sentence... what it does... it's illegal! ― Lewis Black <hr /> The one thing I think we learned this year is that the Democrats and the Republicans are completely worthless. ― Lewis Black <hr /> If mzero doesn't need to be a single, unambiguous value, then the algebra of monads would seem to be a bit hinky. ― A tweet from @djspiewak (Daniel J. Spiewak) <hr /> A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem? ― Saunders Mac Lane, filtered through James Iry <hr /> Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. ― Confucius <hr /> Rotten wood cannot be carved. ― Confucius (Analects, Book 5, Chapter 9) <hr /> Men's natures are alike. It is their habits that carry them far apart. ― Confucius <hr /> Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do. ― Confucius <hr /> It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. ― Confucius <hr /> We like to think we spend most of our time power-typing. "I'm being productive, I'm writing programs!" But, we don't. We spend most of our time looking into the abyss, saying, "My God, what have I done?" ― Douglas Crockford, during his keynote at YUIConf 2011 <hr /> "That hardly ever happens" is another way of saying, "It happens". ― Douglas Crockford, during his keynote at YUIConf 2011 <hr /> I used to think everyone should learn programming. When I first starting programming...I thought, "Wow, this is such an amazing way to organize information! Everybody should learn to do this!" I don't think that any more. I think there has to be something seriously wrong with you, in order to do this work. A normal person, once they've looked into the abyss, will say, "I'm done. This is stupid. I'm going to go to something else." But not us, 'cause there's something really wrong with us. ― Douglas Crockford, during his keynote at YUIConf 2011 <hr /> Confusion must be avoided. Confusion is the enemy. Confusion is what causes bugs and security mishaps and all the other things that make us miserable. ― Douglas Crockford, during his keynote at YUIConf 2011 <hr /> Write [code] in a way that clearly communicates your intent. ― Douglas Crockford, during his keynote at YUIConf 2011 <hr /> Geriatric Relativity: The observation that time goes faster the older you get. ― Brian M. Clapper <hr /> Critical thinking is the antidote to gullibility and credulity, which explains why politicians aren't fond of critical thinking. ― Brian M. Clapper <hr /> The president of the United States has claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God. If he said that he was talking to God through his hairdryer, this would precipitate a national emergency. I fail to see how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim more ridiculous or offensive. ― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation <hr /> Man is manifestly not the measure of all things. This universe is shot through with mystery. The very fact of its being, and of our own, is a mystery absolute, and the only miracle worthy of the name. ― Sam Harris, "The End of Faith" <hr /> What is so unnerving about the candidacy of Sarah Palin is the degree to which she represents—and her supporters celebrate—the joyful marriage of confidence and ignorance . . . Ask yourself: how has "elitism" become a bad word in American politics? There is simply no other walk of life in which extraordinary talent and rigorous training are denigrated. We want elite pilots to fly our planes, elite troops to undertake our most critical missions, elite athletes to represent us in competition and elite scientists to devote the most productive years of their lives to curing our diseases. And yet, when it comes time to vest people with even greater responsibilities, we consider it a virtue to shun any and all standards of excellence. When it comes to choosing the people whose thoughts and actions will decide the fates of millions, then we suddenly want someone just like us, someone fit to have a beer with, someone down-to-earth—in fact, almost anyone, provided that he or she doesn't seem too intelligent or well educated. ― Sam Harris <hr /> Unreason is now ascendant in the United States—in our schools, in our courts, and in each branch of the federal government. ― Sam Harris, "The Politics of Ignorance" (2005) <hr /> The point at which we fully acquire our humanity, and our capacity to suffer, remains an open question, but anyone who would dogmatically insist that these traits must arise coincident with the moment of conception has nothing to contribute, apart from his ignorance, to this debate. ― Sam Harris Water is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. This seems as value-free an utterance as human beings ever make. But what do we do when someone doubts the truth of this proposition? Ok, all we can do is appeal to scientific values. The value of understanding the world. The value of evidence. The value of logical consistency. What if someone says, “Well, that’s not how I choose to think about water. Ok, what can we say to such a person? Ok, all we can do is appeal to scientific values. And if he doesn’t share those values, the conversation is over. Ok, if someone doesn’t value evidence, what evidence are you going to provide to prove that they should value it? If someone doesn’t value logic, what logical argument could you provide to show the importance of logic? ― Sam Harris, during a Notre Dame debate with William Lane Craig <hr /> I love living in the future. ― Bill Cheswick <hr /> Sendmail(8) proved that if you polish a turd long enough, you may eventually end up with a shiny coprolite. ― Bill Cheswick <hr /> Angels we have heard on High/Tell us to go out and Buy. ― Tom Lehrer <hr /> The Army has carried the American ... ideal to its logical conclusion. Not only do they prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race, creed and color, but also on ability. ― Tom Lehrer <hr /> If, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been worth the while. ― Tom Lehrer <hr /> I'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write. That's the problem: I don't want to satirise George Bush and his puppeteers, I want to vaporize them. ― Tom Lehrer (2003) <hr /> I basically like "comments," though they can seem a little jarring: spit- flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots. ― Gene Weingarten, Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist <hr /> I disagree with those who suggest that we permanently close down the U.S. mail on the grounds that it can kill you. That is sheer hysteria. I think we should permanently close down the U.S. mail on the grounds that it has been making us sick for quite a while. ― Gene Weingarten, Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist <hr /> Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. ― Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" <hr /> Bypasses are devices that allow some people to dash from point A to point B very fast while other people dash from point B to point A very fast. People living at point C, being a point directly in between, are often given to wonder what's so great about point A that so many people from point B are so keen to get there and what's so great about point B that so many people from point A are so keen to get THERE. They often wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell they wanted to be. ― Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" <hr /> Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea ... ― Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" <hr /> Men were real men, women were real women, and small, furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were REAL small, furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. Spirits were brave, men boldly split infinitives that no man had split before. Thus was the Empire forged. ― "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", Douglas Adams <hr /> Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. ― "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" <hr /> The word "spine" is, of course, an anagram of "penis". This is true in almost fifty percent of the languages of the Galaxy, and many people have attempted to explain why. Usually these explanations get bogged down in silly puns about "standing erect". ― Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" <hr /> There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. ― Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" <hr /> With a rubber duck, one's never alone. ― "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" <hr /> Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it. ― Madeleine L'Engle <hr /> That's the way things come clear. All of a sudden. And then you realize how obvious they've been all along. ― Madeleine L'Engle <hr /> When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable. ― Madeleine L'Engle <hr /> Because you're not what I would have you be, I blind myself to who, in truth, you are. ― Madeleine L'Engle <hr /> A good photograph is knowing where to stand. ― Ansel Adams <hr /> A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into. ― Ansel Adams <hr /> A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words. ― Ansel Adams <hr /> Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships. ― Ansel Adams <hr /> In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration. ― Ansel Adams <hr /> These people live again in print as intensely as when their images were captured on old dry plates of sixty years ago... I am walking in their alleys, standing in their rooms and sheds and workshops, looking in and out of their windows. Any they in turn seem to be aware of me. ― Ansel Adams <hr /> When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without. ― Ansel Adams When in doubt, tell the truth. ― Mark Twain <hr /> A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain. ― Mark Twain <hr /> A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read. ― Mark Twain <hr /> [He was] a solemn, unsmiling, sanctimonious old iceberg who looked like he was waiting for a vacancy in the Trinity. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. ― Mark Twain <hr /> God made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board. ― Mark Twain <hr /> I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up. ― Mark Twain, "The Innocents Abroad" <hr /> I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know. ― Mark Twain <hr /> If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man. ― Mark Twain <hr /> It is by the fortune of God that, in this country, we have three benefits: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either. ― Mark Twain <hr /> It is the difference of opinion that makes horse races. ― Mark Twain <hr /> It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Man is the only animal that blushes ― or needs to. ― Mark Twain <hr /> My father was an amazing man. The older I got, the smarter he got. ― Mark Twain <hr /> The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. ― Mark Twain <hr /> It could probably be shown, by facts and figures, that there is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress. ― Mark Twain <hr /> There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist. ― Mark Twain <hr /> There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact. ― Mark Twain <hr /> They spell it "da Vinci" and pronounce it "da Vinchy". Foreigners always spell better than they pronounce. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Wagner's music is better than it sounds. ― Mark Twain <hr /> When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him until he emerges on the other side of the Atlantic with his verb in his mouth. ― Mark Twain in "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" <hr /> Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform. ― Mark Twain in "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" <hr /> Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved. ― Mark Twain <hr /> He is now rising from affluence to poverty. ― Mark Twain <hr /> A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds. ― Mark Twain <hr /> A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand. ― Mark Twain <hr /> But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most? ― Mark Twain <hr /> Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Drag your thoughts away from your troubles... by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it. ― Mark Twain <hr /> I can live for two months on a good compliment. ― Mark Twain <hr /> If the world comes to an end, I want to be in Cincinnati. Everything comes there ten years later. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Prosperity is the best protector of principle. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself. ― Mark Twain <hr /> The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane. ― Mark Twain <hr /> There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded. ― Mark Twain <hr /> To be good is noble; but to show others how to be good is nobler and no trouble. ― Mark Twain <hr /> To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain't so. ― Mark Twain <hr /> We have the best government that money can buy. ― Mark Twain <hr /> When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear. ― Mark Twain <hr /> When people do not respect us we are sharply offended; yet in his private heart no man much respects himself. ― Mark Twain <hr /> When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. ― Mark Twain <hr /> Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which before their union were not perceived to have any relation. ― Mark Twain <hr /> [Silvio Berlusconi] is so thoroughly corrupt, every time he smiles, an angel gets gonorrhea. ― Dylan Moran <hr /> [Adulthood] feels like ... walking around in a desert, with a bag over your head, bumping into people who rob you as they bore you. ― Dylan Moran <hr /> Tequila isn't even a drink. It's just a way of getting the police round, without using the phone. ― Dylan Moran <hr /> I basically think I'm what would've happened if James Dean had lived, and discovered carbohydrates and orthopedic shoes. ― Dylan Moran <hr /> When did ignorance become a point of view? ― Dilbert (Scott Adams) <hr /> There's no kill switch on awesome. ― Dilbert (Scott Adams) <hr /> You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. ― Walter to The Dude ("The Big Lebowski") <hr /> Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here! ― The Dude ("The Big Lebowski") <hr /> "The Dude abides." I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners. Shoosh. I sure hope he makes the finals. ― The Stranger ("The Big Lebowski") <hr /> We’ve bought into the idea that education is about training and "success", defined monetarily, rather than learning to think critically and to challenge. We should not forget that the true purpose of education is to make minds, not careers. A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death. ― Chris Hedges, "Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle" <hr /> Inverted totalitarianism, unlike classical totalitarianism, does not revolve around a demagogue or charismatic leader. It finds expression in the anonymity of the Corporate State. It purports to cherish democracy, patriotism, and the Constitution while manipulating internal levers. ― Chris Hedges, "Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle" <hr /> Washington has become our Versailles. We are ruled, entertained, and informed by courtiers―and the media has evolved into a class of courtiers. The Democrats, like the Republicans, are mostly courtiers. Our pundits and experts, at least those with prominent public platforms, are courtiers. We are captivated by the hollow stagecraft of political theater as we are ruthlessly stripped of power. It is smoke and mirrors, tricks and con games, and the purpose behind it is deception. ― Chris Hedges, "Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle" <hr /> The split in America, rather than simply economic, is between those who embrace reason, who function in the real world of cause and effect, and those who, numbed by isolation and despair, now seek meaning in a mythical world of intuition, a world that is no longer reality-based, a world of magic. ― Chris Hedges, American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America <hr /> Hope has a cost. Hope is not comfortable or easy. Hope requires personal risk. It is not about the right attitude. Hope is not about peace of mind. Hope is action. Hope is doing something. The more futile, the more useless, the more irrelevant and incomprehensible an act of rebellion is, the vaster and more potent hope becomes. Hope never makes sense. Hope is weak, unorganized and absurd. Hope, which is always nonviolent, exposes in its powerlessness, the lies, fraud and coercion employed by the state. Hope knows that an injustice visited on our neighbor is an injustice visited on all of us. Hope posits that people are drawn to the good by the good. This is the secret of hope's power. Hope demands for others what we demand for ourselves. Hope does not separate us from them. Hope sees in our enemy our own face. ― Chris Hedges <hr /> Racism towards Muslims is as evil as anti-Semitism, but try to express this simple truth on a partisan Palestinian or Israeli website. ― Chris Hedges, Death of the Liberal Class <hr /> A society without the means to detect lies and theft soon squanders its liberty and freedom. ― Chris Hedges <hr /> Really, the comforting side in most conspiracy theory arguments is the one claiming that anyone who's in power has any plan at all. ― xkcd #1081 (mouseover text) <hr /> A person who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.) ― Dave Barry <hr /> Meetings are an addictive, highly self-indulgent activity that corporations and other large organizations habitually engage in only because they cannot actually masturbate. ― Dave Barry <hr /> Styling mousse, which is gunk that looks like shaving cream ... was invented by a French hair professional whom, if you met him, you would want to punch directly in the mouth. ― Dave Barry <hr /> There are two kinds of solar-heat systems: "passive" systems collect the sunlight that hits your home, and "active" systems collect the sunlight that hits your neighbors' homes, too. ― Dave Barry, "Postpetroleum Guzzler" <hr /> There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2030, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them. ― Dave Barry <hr /> It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity. ― Dave Barry <hr /> No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. ― Dave Barry <hr /> Although golf was originally restricted to wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it's open to anybody who owns hideous clothing. ― Dave Barry <hr /> People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. ― Dave Barry <hr /> It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Imagination is more important than knowledge. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> If A equals success, then the formula is: A= X + Y + Z X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> The tyranny of the ignoramuses is insurmountable and assured for all time. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Man usually avoids attributing cleverness to somebody else, unless it is an enemy. ― A. Einstein <hr /> My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it. ― Albert Einstein, as quoted by Virgil Henshaw in "Albert Einstein: Philosopher Scientist" (1949) <hr /> The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> The only real valuable thing is intuition. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> God may be subtle, but He isn't plain mean. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Dear Posterity, If you have not become more just, more peaceful, and generally more rational than we are (or were) ― why then, the Devil take you. ― Albert Einstein, message for a time capsule <hr /> Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> An autocratic system of coercion, in my opinion, soon degenerates. For force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels. ― Albert Einstein, The World As I See It (1931) <hr /> "If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith." ― Albert Einstein <hr /> "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." ― Albert Einstein <hr /> A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> An empty stomach is not a good political adviser. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. ― Albert Einstein <hr /> People think my friend George is weird because he wears sideburns...behind his ears. I think he's weird because he wears false teeth...with braces on them. ― Steven Wright <hr /> I came home the other night and tried to open the door with my car keys...and the building started up. So I took it out for a drive. A cop pulled me over for speeding. He asked me where I live. I said, "Here." ― Steven Wright <hr /> I was playing poker the other night... with Tarot cards. I got a full house and 4 people died. ― Steven Wright <hr /> My brother sent me a postcard the other day with this big satellite photo of the entire earth on it. On the back it said: "Wish you were here". ― Steven Wright <hr /> You can't have everything. Where would you put it? ― Steven Wright <hr /> You know that feeling when you're leaning back on a stool and it starts to tip over? Well, that's how I feel all the time. ― Steven Wright <hr /> I'm making wine at home, but I make it out of raisins, so it'll be aged automatically. ― Steven Wright <hr /> Babies don't need a vacation, but I still see 'em at the beach. Pisses me off. ― Steven Wright <hr /> Sponges grow in the ocean. That kills me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be, if that didn't happen. ― Steven Wright <hr /> It doesn't matter what temperature a room is, it's always room temperature. ― Steven Wright <hr /> I remember the day the candle shop burned down. Everyone just stood around and sang, "Happy birthday." ― Steven Wright <hr /> If you shoot a mime, should you use a silencer? ― Steven Wright <hr /> Once I stayed in a hotel where the pool was on the 23rd floor. I couldn't believe how deep it was. ― Steven Wright <hr /> There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot. ― Steven Wright <hr /> What's another word for, "thesaurus?" ― Steven Wright <hr /> Whenever I think about the past, it's just bring back so many memories. ― Steven Wright <hr /> Once I was walking through the woods, and I saw a rabbit standing in front of a candle, making shadows of people on a tree. I said, "Don't be so sarcastic." ― Steven Wright <hr /> I'm a peripheral visionary.

Washburn, Is The Bible Worth Reading And Other Essays, 1911 <hr /> A lie may take care of the present, but it has no future. ~Author Unknown <hr /> I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid. ~John Gotti <hr /> We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger. ~Tad Williams <hr /> Truth fears no questions. ~Unknown <hr /> There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously. ~Thomas Sowell <hr /> Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom. ~Thomas Jefferson <hr /> I don't mind lying, but I hate inaccuracy. ~Samuel Butler, Note-Books, 1912 <hr /> I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind. ~George Bernard Shaw, 28 August 1896 <hr /> Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves. ~Larry King <hr /> Success has made failures of many men. ~Cindy Adams <hr /> Some aspects of success seem rather silly as death approaches. ~Donald A. Miller <hr /> Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. ~Author Unknown <hr /> "Acting is an art which consists of keeping the audience from coughing." <hr /> <hr /> "Anchovies? You've got the wrong man! I spell my name DANGER! (click)" <hr /> "Benson, you are so free of the ravages of intelligence." ― Time Bandits <hr /> "Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before," Bokonon tells us. "He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way." ― Kurt Vonnegut, "Cat's Cradle" <hr /> "But I don't like Spam!" <hr /> "But this has taken us far afield from interface, which is not a bad place to be, since I particularly want to move ahead to the kludge. Why do people have so much trouble understanding the kludge? What is a kludge, after all, but not enough Ks, not enough ROMs, not enough RAMs, poor quality interface and too few bytes to go around? Have I explained yet about the bytes?" <hr /> "Calvin Coolidge looks as if he had been weaned on a pickle." ― Alice Roosevelt Longworth <hr /> "Contrariwise," continued Tweedledee, "if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic!" ― Lewis Carroll, "Through the Looking Glass" <hr /> "Creation science" has not entered the curriculum for a reason so simple and so basic that we often forget to mention it: because it is false, and because good teachers understand exactly why it is false. What could be more destructive of that most fragile yet most precious commodity in our entire intellectual heritage ― good teaching ― than a bill forcing honorable teachers to sully their sacred trust by granting equal treatment to a doctrine not only known to be false, but calculated to undermine any general understanding of science as an enterprise? ― Stephen Jay Gould, "The Skeptical Inquirer", Vol. 12, page 186 <hr /> "Deep" is a word like "theory" or "semantic" ― it implies all sorts of marvelous things. It's one thing to be able to say "I've got a theory", quite another to say "I've got a semantic theory", but, ah, those who can claim "I've got a deep semantic theory", they are truly blessed. ― Randy Davis <hr /> "Deliver yesterday, code today, think tomorrow." <hr /> "Die? I should say not, dear fellow. No Barrymore would allow such a conventional thing to happen to him." ― John Barrymore's dying words <hr /> "Do not stop to ask what is it; Let us go and make our visit." ― T. S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" <hr /> "Do you have blacks, too?" ― George W. Bush, to Brazilian president Fernando Cardoso; Washington, D.C., November 8, 2001 <hr /> "Don't let your mouth write no check that your tail can't cash." ― Bo Diddley <hr /> "Don't say yes until I finish talking." ― Darryl F. Zanuck <hr /> "Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing." <hr /> "Earth is a great, big funhouse without the fun." ― Jeff Berner <hr /> "Even the best of friends cannot attend each other's funeral." ― Kehlog Albran, "The Profit" <hr /> "Every time I think I know where it's at, they move it." <hr /> "Grub first, then ethics." ― Bertolt Brecht <hr /> <hr /> That man is successful who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of the intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. ~Robert Louis Stevenson <hr /> Success is more permanent when you achieve it without destroying your principles. ~Walter Cronkite <hr /> The two hardest things to handle in life are failure and success. ~Author Unknown <hr /> Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it. ~Elbert Hubbard <hr /> The moral flabbiness born of the bitch-goddess SUCCESS. That - with the squalid interpretation put on the word success - is our national disease. ~William James, 11 September 1906 <hr /> The closer one gets to the top, the more one finds there is no "top." ~Nancy Barcus <hr /> Something in human nature causes us to start slacking off at our moment of greatest accomplishment. As you become successful, you will need a great deal of self-discipline not to lose your sense of balance, humility, and commitment. ~Ross Perot <hr /> What will matter is not your success but your significance.... ~Michael Josephson, from "What Will Matter" (poem), 2003 <hr /> <br /> "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."- Albert Einstein";<br /> <br /> "Tis nobler to lose honor to save the lives of men than tis to gain honor by taking them."- David Borenstein"<br /> <br /> "Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when decide how to respond."- Jeffery Borenstein"<br /> <br /> "To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance."- Buddha"<br /> <br /> "We need more people who specialize in the impossible."- Unknown"<br /> <br /> "It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well."- Rene Descartes"<br /> <br /> "Fall seven times, stand up eight."- Japanese Proverb" <br /> <br /> "Every problem has a gift for you in its hands." -Richard Bach"<br /> <br /> "Enjoy life.

Use the top 50 tips described in&nbsp; LNW s article to get your practice to the highest level!<br /> <br /> We are not just our physical selves. We are multi-dimensional beings, composed of a vital body, an emotional body, a mental body, and a spiritual body and an endless capacity of healing which is our innermost essence.<br /> <br /> Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries, without them humanity cannot survive. Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day. Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.<br /> <br /> Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent. The point of our existence is that, as human beings, we live purposeful, meaningful lives. The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness. The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis. My heart and my brains are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion. With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.<br /> <br /> Here are some meditations that will help you.<br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: #ffff40;">Inner Light Healing Meditation</span><br /> <br /> Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.<br /> <br /> Look at the screen that fills the space behind your closed eyelids.<br /> <br /> Notice any light that appears on your inner screen.<br /> <br /> The light may appear as little particles, patterns, images, colors, "snow" on a tv screen, etc. (Consider anything that is not absolute darkness to be a form of light.)<br /> <br /> Gently focus on the light.<br /> <br /> It is not neccessary to focus clearly. Simply look at the light with relaxed attention.<br /> <br /> If you feel as though you are slipping into a sleep-like or dream-like state, allow it to happen.<br /> <br /> If you do not see any light on your screen, it's ok... just focus on the dark screen. Whatever you experience is all right.<br /> <br /> Meditator<br /> <br /> If you notice you have drifted off into your thoughts, simply bring your attention back to your inner screen and continue looking at the light.<br /> <br /> Benefits of this meditation:<br /> <br /> Relaxation and stress reduction.<br /> Increased flow of fuel to the brain.<br /> Gradual opening of the 6th chakra - the "inner eye" or "third eye" -<br /> giving clear insight and inner vision.<br /> Direct experience of your calm, unbounded Inner Essence.<br /> onnecting with your Inner Essence taps a wellspring of spiritual energy<br /> which nourishes and enhances all levels of life.<br /> When connected with your Inner Essence, life flows more effortlessly,<br /> and you begin to perceive the world as a more supportive, enjoyable place.<br /> Regular contact with your Inner Essence catalyzes a gradual shift to a higher level<br /> of consciousness.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="inline-attachment"> <dl class="thumbnail"> <dt><a href="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=253" title="Ik ben de zon.jpg"><img alt="Ik ben de zon.jpg" class="attach_parent resized" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=253&amp;t=1" title="Ik ben de zon.jpg (128.02 KiB) 94 keer bekeken" /></a></dt> </dl> </div> <br /> <br /> Learn from the mountain … learn from the ocean … learn from the poppy seed flower … Seek my face; my heart said unto you, your face, LORD, will I seek (Psalm 27:8). The desire of our soul is to your name, and to the remembrance of you. With my spirit within me will I seek you (Isaiah 26:8-9). <br /> <br /> Steps to meditate <br /> <br /> Let the remembrance of Jesus be present with each breath, and then you will know the value of the hēsychia – <br /> <br /> With a breath starts our earthly wandering and with a breath it finishes. In meditation the name of Jesus is not an ordinary word which is the focus of our attention and which is to disperse restless thoughts. The repetition of the name of Jesus evokes the presence of the One who bore it. It is the confession of faith in the One who said that He is the resurrection, and the life (John 11:25), the light of the world (John 8:12; 12:46) and the way (John 14:6). <br /> <br /> Receiving the name of Jesus and abandoning oneself to it in the rhythm of breath is the simplest but at the same time the oldest form of Christian meditation. It is not only a prayer but a rule ordering and integrating all dimensions of manhood within God. It is the path lasting throughout an entire life and the path towards life which is metaphorically depicted in the picture above. <br /> <br /> This meditation touches the very heart of the Gospel and makes it possible to understand it from "within", to understand it through your heart. If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink… Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:37-38).<br /> <br /> Thanks to it, the man became a living thing. The breath comes from God and returns to God. Unite the prayer word with the stream of life and nothing shall separate you from the Giver of Life. When you meditate be as a bird, singing ceaselessly in front of the Creator. Its song raises like incense smoke. Let your prayer be like dove’s cooing And you shall not surrender to discouragement. <br /> <br /> When you meditate be as Abraham sacrificing his only son. It was a sign that he was ready to give up everything.<br /> Give up everything and in this abandonment God will fill you with His presence. <br /> <br /> When you meditate it is Jesus who prays inside you to the Father in the Spirit. You are carried by the fire of His love. Be as a river which serves everyone, and the time will come when you become Love.<br /> <br /> When you meditate be as a mountain motionlessly settled in silence. Its thoughts are rooted in eternity. Do nothing, just sit, just be and you will learn the fruits of prayer. <br /> <br /> When you meditate be as a flower, always facing the sun Its stem like a spine, always straight.<br /> Remain open, ready to accept everything without fear, and the light will always shine on your path.<br /> <br /> When you meditate be as an ocean, in its depths always unmoved. Its waves come and go. Remain calm inside<br /> and evil thoughts will go away.<br /> <br /> The practice of cultivating altruism has a beneficial effect not only from a religious point of view but also from a mundane point of view. We are all part of the human community so compassion is a deep desire to see others relieved of suffering; love is the other facet, a strong wish to see others happy. Think clear, we all have the right to lead happy lives. Being motivated by compassion and love, respecting the rights of others – this is the real practice of religion. <br /> <br /> How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver. Hate leaves ugly scars; love leaves beautiful ones. In this life we cannot do great things We can only do small things with great love. Love is to love someone for who they are, who they were, and who they will be in the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing. Love is a fabric which never fades, no matter how often it is washed in the water of adversity and grief as w are all born for love It is the principle of existence, and its only end. People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel. <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: #ff80bf;">Steps of the Universal Mantra Meditation</span><br /> <br /> Sit comfortably, with your eyes closed and your spine reasonably straight.<br /> <br /> Begin repeating the mantra gently in your mind.<br /> <br /> Repeat the mantra at whatever tempo feels most natural. There is no need to synchronize the mantra with your breathing, but if this occurs naturally, it's ok.<br /> <br /> Allow the mantra to arise more faintly in your mind... repeating it with minimal effort.<br /> <br /> Continue repeating the mantra faintly, and allow for whatever happens.<br /> <br /> If at any time, you feel that you are slipping into a sleep-like or dream-like state, allow it to happen.<br /> <br /> If and when you notice that your attention has drifted completely off the mantra, gently begin repeating it again, and continue with minimal effort. However, if you find yourself in a deeply relaxed, quiet place, I suggest you enjoy that experience rather than coming back to the mantra.<br /> <br /> After 10 or 15 minutes come out of your meditation slowly.<br /> <br /> <div class="inline-attachment"> <dl class="thumbnail"> <dt><a href="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=249" title="A flower to say...have a beautiful day!.jpg"><img alt="A flower to say...have a beautiful day!.jpg" class="attach_parent resized" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=249&amp;t=1" title="A flower to say...have a beautiful day!.jpg (59.56 KiB) 94 keer bekeken" /></a></dt> </dl> </div> <br /> <br /> Benefits of this meditation<br /> <br /> <br /> Easily produces a shift into deeper, more peaceful states of awareness. (The degree of this will vary from session to session.)<br /> Increases the flow of energy to the brain.<br /> Clears away a good deal of physical/emotional toxins. Because of this detoxification, it is best to keep this meditation to 10 or 15 minutes a day when first beginning. After a month or so, it can be increased to 20 minutes, but that should be the maximum for anyone who does not have quite a few years of meditation experience. Also, it is advisable to drink a lot of pure water.<br /> Accelerates spiritual growth.<br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: #ff4080;">Will power</span><br /> <br /> If you have willpower, then you can change anything. It is usually said that you are your own master.Whatever steps, however small, one can take towards learning to reduce the influence of the negative emotions can be very helpful so we need to consider how our actions, in affecting the environment, are likely to affect others and therefore we need to develop a good heart, real appreciation, love and compassion for others to improve. Meet hostility and suspicion with kindness.<br /> <br /> Peace comes from within so not seek it without and don't look back, and regret, that too often when you loved, you did not say so. Love can sometimes be magic but magic can sometimes... just be an illusion but always remember Love conquers all. Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other and does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up and does not dominate; it cultivates.like a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination and more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.<br /> <br /> Life is not a game that two can play and both win, a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else. Any perspective we have on anything is only a relative truth. There are always both (or more) sides of any story. An objective perspective or an absolute truth is very hard or maybe impossible to see. But to be aware of this and to be interested to see another perspective from another person can be very mind-opening and valuable. <br /> <br /> The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows. If we are not authentic and truthful to ourselves, we build a wall around us that eventually we have to tear down again. It is then literally a resistance to the reality and our own nature where we can hide some time, but life has a way to show us our own faults in the end. To be true to the best one knows means to come from our own best knowledge and not buy into something outside ourselves blindly, always asking: is this really true to what I know? <br /> <br /> Helping others out of love is always the best option. It seems wrong to think indness is exclusively the business of religion; something to be neglected if one isn’t interested in spirituality. The world's major religious traditions all give the development of compassion a key role. <br /> <br /> The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness. The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis. Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace. <br /> <br /> Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions. If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them. If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="inline-attachment"> <dl class="thumbnail"> <dt><a href="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=251" title="Kijk jij naar wat er WEL is, of leef je liever in tekort.jpg"><img alt="Kijk jij naar wat er WEL is, of leef je liever in tekort.jpg" class="attach_parent resized" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=251&amp;t=1" title="Kijk jij naar wat er WEL is, of leef je liever in tekort.jpg (37.26 KiB) 94 keer bekeken" /></a></dt> </dl> </div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: #ff80ff;">Color Healing Meditation</span><br /> <br /> <br /> Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.ball of light<br /> <br /> Visualize a large ball of radiant Golden light a few inches over your head. Visualize that ball of light slowly descending through your crown, filling your entire being with golden light.<br /> <br /> Imagine yourself absorbing that light as it nourishes, cleanses and heals your whole being - your Spirit and all of your bodies - dissolving all blocked and toxic energies.<br /> <br /> Repeat this exercise, visualizing a ball of Red light. Continue through the entire spectrum like this, visualizing a ball of Orange light; Yellow light; Green light; Blue light; Indigo light; and Violet light. Go through the spectrum at whatever pace feels appropriate.<br /> <br /> If you focus only on yourself and neglect others, you will not succeed; but you will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself. The aim of meditation can be expressed in one sentence: Be kind, help eacother and never do not harm others.<br /> <br /> Take some time to visualize yourself in <span style="background-color: white;">a state of perfect, radiant health.</span><br /> <br /> Benefits of this meditation:<br /> <br /> Cleansing, balancing, and healing at all levels...<br /> <br /> Spiritual, Mental, Emotional and Physical.

Wonderful spiritual qualities, such as unbounded love and compassion, are present as potentials in all our minds. An open heart is an open mind, friends, genuine friends, have much more to do with whether we have a warm heart, not money or power as we have the ability and the responsibility to choose whether our actions follow a virtuous path or not. Religion have become synonymous with deep philosophical issues, but it is love and compassion that lie at the heart of religion. <br /> <br /> By extending our ordinary feelings of love and concern beyond their usual biased limits, love is freed from the restrictions of attachment.We should value our enemies because they provide us with unique opportunities to practice patience, tolerance and forbearance. The most important thing is to have a sense of responsibility, commitment, and concern for each of our fellow human beings.<br /> <br /> <br /> <img alt="redlove" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/redlove.gif.gif" title="liefde" /> <span style="background-color: #ff40ff;">Meditation top 50 Tips</span><br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> If you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing compassion for others. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> It is always possible to give and share, happiness is not something ready made, It comes from your own actions. find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest and do not judge the universe. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them. Governments and politicians are spoiled and almost all the same, they are not kind to the people and take more and more. Who does earn a fortune and doesnt share is no good. Wise men listen to the people and help wherever it is possible by sharing the wealth with kidness. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> If you wake up in the morning, and have a conversation with yourself to try to convince yourself to meditate, you’ve already lost. You need to make meditating a habit, not a decision. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Habits become, through repetition and unconscious association, our default way of behaving. Natural inertia then works in our favour – it takes effort to establish a habit, but once well established, it takes effort to break it. We have previously reported on research on how to form a habit, and there is ever-increasing interest and psychological research in this area.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Make sure that your spine is upright with head up. If you are slumped your mind will drift. Mind and body are intertwined. If your body is well-balanced, your mind will also be in balance. To straighten up, imagine that your head is touching the sky.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Try and keep you eyes closed. If you close your eyes you will be more likely to drift away on thoughts and stories. However, it’s important to do what is comfortable for you. Some people find closing their eyes much more effective. It’s good to experiment and see what feels best for you.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Whether you choose the Seinfeld productivity method using an old-fashioned calendar, or the latest electronic gadget, you can encourage yourself to meditate, and make it easier, using material things to help you.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Meditation is a wonderful way of waking up to our life.To focus in meditation means to pay soft attention to whatever you place in the centre of awareness. It’s like a natural door that connects ‘inside’ and ‘outside’. Attention comes from nowhere. It has no cause. It belongs to no one . Paying attention to the breath is a great way to anchor yourself in the present moment. Notice your breath streaming in and out. There’s no need to regulate the breath – just let it be natural.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Believe in yourself, be kind, be happy, emphasis on the fact you need to believe in yourself and in your abilities to achieve anything in life. Believing in yourself is the key to almost everything you will start. Love and compassion arising with a clear recognition of the importance and rights of others will reach even those who would do you harm.Most of us already forget common things like like cooking, driving a car or taking a class in University. Think about the process to reach your goals and that is to be free without religion. Planning ahead is important, especially when you are trying to reach a specific goal. Be kind and visualize each of the steps needed to reach your goals. Imagine yourself doing these steps, living each instant of them. If you want others to be happy, practice kindness and compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="inline-attachment"> <dl class="thumbnail"> <dt><a href="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=256" title="blosseming.jpg"><img alt="blosseming.jpg" class="attach_parent resized" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=256&amp;t=1" title="blosseming.jpg (69.28 KiB) 63 keer bekeken" /></a></dt> </dl> </div> <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> If you are having difficulties settling, you can try counting the <span style="background-color: #ffbfbf;">breath</span> – which is an ancient meditation practice. On your outbreath, silently count “one”, then “two”, and up to “four”. Then return to “one”. Whenever you notice your thoughts have strayed far away or you find yourself counting “thirtythree”, simply return to “one”. In this way, “one” is like coming home to the present moment. It’s good to return without a backward glance.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Don’t try and stop thoughts; this will just make you feel agitated. Imagine that they are unwelcome visitors at your door: acknowledge their presence and politely ask them to leave. Then shine the soft light of your attention on your breath.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Anger, shame and fear create stories that repeat over and over in the mind. Anger and shame make us keep looking at past events of the past. Fear looks at the future with stories that start with, “What if…”<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> The way to deal with strong emotions in meditation is to focus on the body feelings that accompany the emotion. For example, this could be the tight band of fear around the chest or the hot roiling of anger in the belly. Let go of the stories and refocus on your body. In this way you are honouring your emotions but not becoming entangled in stories.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Silence is healing. I know that there are is a lot of ‘meditation music’ around, but nothing beats simple silence. Otherwise the music or sounds on the tape just drown out the chatter in your mind. When we sit in silence we actually get to experience what our mind is doing. There is steadiness and calmness that comes from sitting in silence. In time outer and inner silence meet and you come to rest in the moment.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come. Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Starters begin with 10 minutes and only sit longer if you feel that that is too short. Don’t force yourself to meditate longer if you are not ready to do that. In time you might like to extend your meditation to 25- 45 minutes. That’s a length that allows you to settle your mind without causing too much stress on your body. Most importantly, shrug off any ‘shoulds’. Some people enjoy sitting for an hour at a time. Others find that they can’t sit longer than 10 minutes. Do what feels right for you!<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Take responsibility to make a good decision and make the most out of your life. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” Be one of the people who live. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” and again, “The universe knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> It’s lovely to create a special place to sit. You can even make a shrine or an altar that you can face when you sit in meditation. You might like to place a candle on your altar and objects that have meaning to you. It’s lovely to find objects for your altar as you walk. Maybe you find stones, or seashells, or flowers that speak to you.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> You might like to try sitting with a hint of a smile. Be kind to yourself. Start sitting just a little each day. It’s helpful to establish a daily habit.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Make it a formal practice. You will only get to the next level in meditation by setting aside specific time (preferably two times a day) to be still.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Start with the breath. Breathing deep slows the heart rate, relaxes the muscles, focuses the mind and is an ideal way to begin practice.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Stretch first. Stretching loosens the muscles and tendons allowing you to sit (or lie) more comfortably. Additionally, stretching starts the process of “going inward” and brings added attention to the body.<br /> <br /> <div class="inline-attachment"> <dl class="thumbnail"> <dt><a href="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=254" title="Uniek en bijzonder, degene die jij bent....jpg"><img alt="Uniek en bijzonder, degene die jij bent....jpg" class="attach_parent resized" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=254&amp;t=1" title="Uniek en bijzonder, degene die jij bent....jpg (55.51 KiB) 90 keer bekeken" /></a></dt> </dl> </div> <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Meditate with Purpose. The art of focusing your attention to a single point is hard work, and you have to be purposefully engaged!<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Notice frustration creep up on you. This is very common for beginners as we think “hey, what am I doing here” or “why can’t I just quiet my damn mind already”. When this happens, really focus in on your breath and let the frustrated feelings go.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Although many of us think of effective meditation as a Yogi sitting cross-legged beneath a Bonzi tree, beginners should be more experimental and try different types of meditation. Try sitting, lying, eyes open, eyes closed, etc.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> A great practice for beginning meditators is to take notice of the body when a meditative state starts to take hold. Once the mind quiets, put all your attention to the feet and then slowly move your way up the body (include your internal organs). This is very healthy and an indicator that you are on the right path.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Make sure it is not the same room where you do work, exercise, or sleep. Place candles and other spiritual paraphernalia in the room to help you feel at ease.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> As you advance, you can try other types of meditation, including walking meditation, guided meditation and meditation focused on a specific issue or problem.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Avoid using difficult poses or thinking that you need "the right equipment" or clothing. Meditation is possible anywhere, dressed (or undressed) as you are, and making do in a quiet spot of your world.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Avoid slumping (like on a cozy couch) or lying down somewhere that you're used to falling asleep in. These are not positions conducive to staying alert when meditating. When beginning, you can sit on the floor or on a chair, sit on your heels, or sit cross-legged in the half lotus or full lotus positions (if that's comfortable for you––don't force it).<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> An alert mind will help you make the most of meditation, so it is helpful to be free of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs for at least 24 hours; that said, get in the habit of meditating regularly even when conditions aren't ideal. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Don't smoke. If you smoke it is best to wait for roughly thirty minutes before meditating. Ideally, don't smoke tobacco at all. It's very dangerous to your health. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Preferably an instructional guide AND one that describes the benefits of deep meditative states. This will get you motivated. John Kabat-Zinn’s Wherever You Go, There You Are is terrific for beginners.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> If you use a particular method that helps quell the inner chatter. The counting method is used successfully by some people. It requires counting at the beginning of a breath meditation, counting for a few minutes. You will be focused on counting rather than other thoughts. Count each out-breath from one to ten, then return to one. Each time your mind wanders, return to counting again. Never overdo counting though––it is possible to replace focus on the breath with focus on counting, and if that happens, stop.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Consider tolerance and patience to be signs of weakness. Consider them signs of strength. A calm and peaceful mind is something very essential as the message of love and compassion travels far and wide if all who follow a spiritual path work together in harmony and mutual respect.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Try to secure the well-being of others, we will, at the same time, create the conditions for our own. The quality of altruism is fundamental, in my opinion, and will fill our daily lives with serenity and happiness.Whatever steps, however small, one can take towards learning to reduce the influence of the negative emotions can be very helpful. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Consider how your actions, in affecting the environment, are likely to affect others. If we develop a good heart, real appreciation, love and compassion for others, our life will improve.Meet hostility and suspicion with kindness. Helping others out of love is always the best option. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> It seems wrong to think kindness is exclusively the business of religion; something to be neglected if one isn’t interested in spirituality. If you use violence, you get temporary satisfaction. But the nature of violence is unpredictable – it gives rise to unexpected results.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Meditation takes time to grow into and to fully appreciate. It may take days if you're on a retreat with nothing more to do than meditate, or it can take weeks or months if you're only dedicating a slot here and there for meditation each week. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.Happiness comes through taming the mind; without taming the mind there is no way to be happy. When you generate a reasoned desire for others to be happy, your humanity increases in strength. The more contact we have with one another and the more we come to understand each other’s values, the greater will be our mutual respect.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> If you focus only on yourself and neglect others, you will lose; but you will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself. The aim of meditation can be expressed in one sentence: Be kind, help eacother and never do not harm others.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Be persistent, as there will come a moment when your awareness will suddenly shift and you'll want more of this experience! <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Commit for the long haul. Meditation is a life-long practice, and you will benefit most by NOT examining the results of your daily practice. Just do the best you can every day, and then let it go!<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Listen to instructional CDs. Generate moments of awareness during the day. Finding your breath and “being present” while not in formal practice is a wonderful way to evolve your meditation habits.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Make sure you will not be disturbed. One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is not insuring peaceful practice conditions. If you have it in the back of your mind that the phone might ring, your kids might wake, or your coffee pot might whistle than you will not be able to attain a state of deep relaxation.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Always make sure that your cellphone is set to silent. Keep your spine as straight as possible while being as comfortable as possible. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Everyone can understand from natural experience, meditation and common sense that affection is crucial from the day of birth; it is the basis of life. Non violence is a sign of strength; violence is a sign of desperation and weakness. Taking care of our neighbors’ interests is essentially taking care of our own future.Wonderful spiritual qualities, such as unbounded love and compassion, are present as potentials in all our minds. <br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Never forget, an open heart is an open mind and friends, genuine friends, have much more to do with whether we have a warm heart, not money or power.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Find a silent place to help concentrate and focus on your meditation.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Make sure lights are dim/ dark with candles and soft music to your liking.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Do it before bed, this will help your brain to start shutting down and will cause you to feel more relaxed.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Try to leave three to four hours between meditation sessions.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Listening to smooth music helps you relax better.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Avoid doing any meditation while operating any heavy machinery.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Notice small adjustments, the slightest physical movements can transform a meditative practice from one of frustration to one of renewal. These adjustments may be barely noticeable to an observer, but they can mean everything for your practice.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Use a candle. Meditating with eyes closed can be challenging for a beginner. Lighting a candle and using it as your point of focus allows you to strengthen your attention with a visual cue. This can be very powerful.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Do NOT Stress. This may be the most important tip for beginners, and the hardest to implement. No matter what happens during your meditation practice, do not stress about it. This includes being nervous before meditating and angry afterwards. Meditation is what it is, and just do the best you can at the time.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Do it together. Meditating with a partner or loved one can have many wonderful benefits, and can improve your practice. However, it is necessary to make sure that you set agreed-upon ground rules before you begin!<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Meditate early in the morning. Without a doubt, early morning is an ideal time to practice: it is quieter, your mind is not filled with the usual clutter, and there is less chance you will be disturbed. Make it a habit to get up half an hour earlier to meditate.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Be Grateful at the end. Once your practice is through, spend 2-3 minutes feeling appreciative of the opportunity to practice and your mind’s ability to focus.<br /> <br /> <img alt="roosje" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/roosje.gif" title="roosje" /> Chances are that losing the ability to focus on meditation is parallel with your inability to focus in other areas of your life.<br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: #ffffbf;">Sunshine Healing</span><br /> <br /> <div class="inline-attachment"> <dl class="file"> <dt class="attach-image"><img alt="zandvoort kust zonnegloed stan rams sunlight meditation.jpg" class="rsz-image" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/download/file.php?id=255" style="display: inline;" /></dt> <dd><br /></dd></dl> </div> <br /> <br /> <br /> be inspired ...<br /> <br /> it is the silence in the air<br /> the sprinkling in your eyes<br /> that flower thar arises from the deep<br /> it is the wind brushing your hair<br /> so sing with me and dance<br /> kiss the sands with your feet<br /> make the world as one <br /> as love is everywhere <br /> your heart beats<br /> <br /> S.R<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="inline-attachment"> <dl class="file"> <dt class="attach-image"></dt> <dt class="attach-image"><img alt="You can ask your angels if there is something you need to know right now.

The angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. Precisely where angels dwell — whether in the air, pay attention to your dreams as angels often speak directly to our hearts when you are asleep. Angels descending, bring from above,echoes of mercy, whispers of love. <br /> <br /> A fool without fear is sometimes wiser than an angel with fear though in the order of nature angels rank above men, yet, by scale of justice, good men are of greater value than bad angels. The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall.<br /> <br /> Music is well said to be the speech of angels. We shall find peace. We shall hear the angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds. The reason angels can fly is because they take themselves lightly.n to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning. If a man is not rising upwards to be an angel, depend upon it, he is sinking downwards to be a devil. <br /> <br /> The miracles in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.Who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight, has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world and every time you hear a bell ring, it means that some angel's just got his wings. Unseen, endless more angels, to wit, angels, archangels, virtues, powers, principalities, dominations, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim. Men would be as guardian angels of life and fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us.<br /> <br /> Time is man's angel and a man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, ''grow! grow!'' so to act like angels while we are still in this world is nothing but folly. The angels keep their ancient places Turn but a stone, and start a wing It's you, it's your estranged faces, that miss the many-splendored thing. <br /> <br /> When one has tasted watermelon he knows what the angels eat. Whether in the air, the void, or the planets. It has not been God's pleasure that we should be informed of their abode. We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another. Life is a tapestry: We are the warp; angels, the weft; God, the weaver. Only the Weaver sees the whole design. The guardian angels of life fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us. Angels fly at light speed. They are all around us, all the time, in the very air we breathe. <br /> <br /> Music is well said to be the speech of angels because they carry no burdens. Angels are direct creations of God, each one a unique Master's piece. Angels deliver Fate to our doorstep - and anywhere else it is needed. Everyone entrusted with a mission is an angel as all forces that reside in the body are angels. <br /> <br /> Angels are quite ample cause to cry.You'll meet more angels on a winding path than on a straight one. Make yourself familiar with the angels, and behold them frequently in spirit; for, without being seen, they are present with you whether we are filled with joy or grief, our angels are close to us, speaking to our hearts so we should pray to the angels, for they are given to us as guardians. Around our pillows golden ladders rise,And up and down the skies, with winged sandals shod, the angels come, and go, the Messengers of The Universe can fly directly into the heart of the matter. <br /> <br /> If angels rarely appear, it's because we all too often mistake the medium for the Message. Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place. Angels are never too distant to hear you. Within limits, and yet there is an unseen hand, a guiding angel, that somehow, like a submerged propeller, drives us on so let us not be justices of the peace, but angels of peace. When our mortal eyes close on this world for the last time, our angels open our spiritual eyes and escort us personally to the sea of joy. <br /> <br /> A baby is an angel whose wings decrease as his legs increase. Angels are here to help us take it peace by peace. ~Levende Waters so If you can't hear the angels, try quieting the static of worry. While we are sleeping, angels have conversations with our souls. How wonderful it must be to speak the language of the angels, with no words for hate and a million words for love! Friends are kisses blown to us by angels. Raindrops resplendent with angels patter my head and drizzle God's love over me. Wet rejoicing abounds When we worship angels add their prayers and turn our single voices into hundred-part harmony. The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of the great creator of the Universe. <br /> <br /> <br /> <img alt="redlove" src="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/images/smilies/redlove.gif.gif" title="liefde" /> <a class="postlink" href="http://www.liefdenetwerk.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=436&amp;t=3719">LNW</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.ipage.com/join/index.bml?bannerID=550&amp;AffID=735705"><img alt="lnw support host" src="http://www.ipage.com/affiliate/banners/550" height="142" style="border: 0px none;" width="200" /></a> <br /> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile3789"><br /><b> <center> <a href="http://bit.ly/cVweeg"> </a> </center> </b></dl> <b> <span class="corners-bottom"></span></b></div> Dokter Infohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06568392817707398271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215365768220511704.post-51130138966799071142013-10-23T22:21:00.000-07:002013-10-23T23:03:22.594-07:00<center> <span class="body">ANNE&nbsp; FRANK&nbsp; QUOTES </span></center> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZm5eu7ReJoY1yydZ-xRJs6TSvNc-d7YiNWgT3j5KNu2XO73b9wsZRfX-Be-l7BCywzDPMnPfVDKa89BuCovoyI72uhMjvI3GeENVrvCN0Hma64hoO5kFuKOXihp7cVaM2ZuemLrbIbmy/s400/Anne+Frank+23.jpg" width="400" /></div> <br /> <br /> <span class="body">And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.</span> <br /> <span class="bodybold"> Anne Frank </span> <br /> <br /> <span class="body">Boys will be boys.

I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!”<br /> <br /> “Whoever is happy will make others happy.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank</span><br /> <span class="body"><br /> “Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank,<br /> <br /> “We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.”<br />&nbsp; Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite indepedent of anyone.”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Women should be respected as well! Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn't women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?...Women, who struggle and suffer pain to ensure the continuation of the human race, make much tougher and more courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put together!”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't stop you from having your own opinion.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Those who have courage and faith shall never perish in misery”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Memories mean more to me than dresses.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br />&nbsp;</span><span class="body">“In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”<br />&nbsp; Anne Frank<br /> <br /> </span><span class="body"> “Earning happiness means doing good and working, not speculating and being lazy. Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “There's only one rule you need to remember: laugh at everything and foget everybody else! It sound egotistical, but it's actually the only cure for those suffering from self-pity.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Anyhow, I've learned one thing now. You only really get to know people when you've had a jolly good row with them. Then and then only can you judge their true characters!”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “The weak die out and the strong will survive, and will live on forever”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Ever since I was a little girl and could barely talk, the word 'why' has lived and grown along with me. It's a well-known fact that children ask questions about anything and everything, since almost everything is new to them. That is especially true of me, and not just as a child. Even when I was older, I couldn't stop asking questions.<br /> I have to admit that it can be annoying sometimes, but I comfort myself with the thought that "You won't know until you ask," though by now I've asked so much that they ought to have made me a professor.<br /> When I got older, I noticed that not all questions can be asked and that many whys can never be answered. As a result, I tried to work things out for myself by mulling over my own questions. And I came to the important discovery that questions which you either can't or shouldn't ask in public, or questions which you can't put into words, can easily be solved in your own head. So the word 'why' not only taught me to ask, but also to think. And thinking has never hurt anyone. On the contrary, it does us all a world of good.”</span><br /> <span class="body">Anne Frank</span><br /> <br /> <span class="body">&nbsp;“I have one outstanding trait in my character, which must strike anyone who knows me for any length of time, and that is my knowledge of myself. I can watch myself and my actions, just&nbsp; an outsider. The Anne of every day I can face entirely without prejudice, without making excuses for her, and watch what's good and what's bad about her. This 'self-consciousness' haunts me, and every time I open my mouth I know as soon as I've spoken whether 'that ought to have been different' or 'that was right as it was.' There are so many things about myself that I condemn; I couldn't begin to name them all. I understand more and more how true Daddy's words were when he said: 'All children must look after their own upbringing.' Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.”</span><br /> <span class="body">Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “I believe that even bad people are truly good at heart.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “How noble and good everyone could be if, every evening before falling asleep, they were to recall to their minds the events of the whole day and consider exactly what has been good and bad. Then without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day.”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “I don't have much in the way of money or worldly possessions, I'm not beautiful, intelligent or clever, but I'm happy, and I intend to stay that way! I was born happy, I love people, I have a trusting nature, and I'd&nbsp; everyone else to be happy too. ”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “As long as this exists, this sunshine and this cloudless sky, and as long as I can enjoy it, how can I be sad?”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so&nbsp; to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “A quiet conscience makes one strong!”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br />&nbsp; <br /> “Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn't matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “People who have a religion should be glad, for not everyone has the gift of believing in heavenly things.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Don't condemn me, remember rather that sometimes I, too, can reach the bursting point.”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “Sometimes I believe that God wants to try me, both now and later on; I must become good through my own efforts, without examples and without good advice.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world! How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution toward introducing justice straightaway... And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “I wish to go on living even after my death.”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death.”<br />Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “The question is very understandable, but no one has found a satisfactory answer to it so far. Yes, why do they make still more gigantic planes, still heavier bombs and, at the same time, prefabricated houses for reconstruction? Why should millions be spent daily on the war and yet there's not a penny available for medical services, artists, or for poor people?<br /> </span><br /> <span class="body"></span><br /> <span class="body">Anne Frank<br />&nbsp;</span><br /> <span class="body">Why do some people have to starve, while there are surpluses rotting in other parts of the world?

And therefore I am grateful to G-d for this gift, this possibility of developing myself and of writing, of expressing all that is in me. I can shake off everything if I write; my sorrows disappear; my courage is reborn. But, and that is the great question, will I ever be able to write anything great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?”<br />&nbsp;Anne Frank<br /> <br /> “A voice within me is sobbing, "You see that's what's become of you. You're surrounded by negative opinions, dismayed looks and mocking faces, people who dis you, and all because you don't listen to the advice of your own better half." Believe me, I'd&nbsp; to listen, but it doesn't work, because if I'm quiet and serious, everyone thinks I'm putting on a new act and I have to save myself with a joke, and then I'm not even talking about my own family, who assume I must be sick, stuff me with aspirins and setatives, feel my neck and forehead to see if I have a temperature, ask about my bowel movements and berate me for being in a bad mood, until I just can't keep it up anymore, because when everybody starts hovering over me, I get cross, then sad, an finally end up turning my heart inside out, the bad part on the outside and the good part on the inside, and keep trying to find a way to become what I'd&nbsp; to be and what I could be if . . . if only there were no other people in the world.<br /> <br /> Yours, Anne M.

Art.” ~Neil Gaiman<br /> <br /> “The earth has music for those who listen.” ~William Shakespeare<br /> <br /> “Art is not a thing, it is a way.” ~Elbert Hubbard<br /> <br /> “Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul — and you answer.” ~Terri Guillemets<br /> <br /> “Art reaches its greatest peak when devoid of self-consciousness. Freedom discovers man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make.” ~Bruce Lee<br /> <br /> “Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind born out of struggle between wisdom and madness, between dream and reality in our mind.” ~Magdalena Abakanowicz<br /> <br /> “As music is the poetry of sound, so is painting the poetry of sight.” ~James McNeil Whistler<br /> <br /> “Personality is everything in art and poetry.” ~Goethe<br /> <br /> “No artist is ahead of his time. He is his time, it’s just that others are behind the times.” ~ Martha Graham<br /> <br /> “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” ~ Edgar Degas<br /> <br /> “Any fool can paint a picture, but it takes a wise person to be able to sell it.” ~Samuel Butler<br /> <br /> “Art is literacy of the heart” ~Elliot Eisner<br /> <br /> “Art must be an expression of love or it is nothing.” ~Marc Chagall<br /> <br /> “At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough. You don’t need to photograph, paint, or even remember it. It is enough.” ~Toni Morrison<br /> <br /> “Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” ~Rumi<br /> <br /> “It is good to love many things, for therein lies true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.” ~Vincent van Gogh<br /> <br /> “Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” ~A.A. Milne<br /> <br /> “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” ~Elizabeth Kubler Ross<br /> <br /> “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” ~Albert Einstein<br /> <br /> “Beauty is the illumination of your soul.” ~John O’Donohue<br /> <br /> “We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” ~Thornton Wilder<br /> <br /> “The only journey is the one within.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke<br /> <br /> “All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost.” ~J.R.R.

Doubt those who find it.” ~Andre Gide<br /> <br /> “It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” ~J.K. Rowling<br /> <br /> “The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off. ~Gloria Steinem<br /> <br /> I cannot do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good that I can do.” ~ Jana Standfield<br /> <br /> “Whatever you are, be a good one.” ~Abraham Lincoln<br /> <br /> “Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.” ~Bob Marley<br /> <br /> “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” ~Andy Warhol<br /> <br /> ‎”Lead us not into temptation. Just tell us where it is; we’ll find it.” ~Sam Levenson<br /> <br /> “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.” ~William Shakespeare<br /> <br /> “If you have time to judge other people you have way too much time on your hands. Get off your ass and do something meaningful.” ~Shane Gibson<br /> <br /> “You connect yourself to the viewer by sharing something that is inside of you that connects with something inside of him. All you have as your guide is that you know what moves you.” ~Steven Brust<br /> <br /> ‎”At some point everyone must decide if they are a creator or a critic, a lover or a hater, a giver or a taker.” ~Author Unknown<br /> <br /> “Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.” ~Blaise Pascal<br /> <br /> “To define is to limit.” ~Oscar Wilde<br /> <br /> “The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.” ~Terry Pratchett<br /> <br /> We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” ~John Lennon<br /> <br /> “Promise me you’ll always remember: you’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” ~Christopher Robin (to Pooh)<br /> <br /> “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” ~Gandhi<br /> <br /> “I think I am, therefore, I am. I think…” ~George Carlin<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> “I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.” ~Vincent van Gogh<br /> <br /> “Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.” ~Plato<br /> <br /> “Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.” ~Arthur Schopenhauer<br /> <br /> “I am not here to change the world. I am changing the world because I am here.” ~Lisa Wilson<br /> <br /> “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.” ~Emerson<br /> <br /> “I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself” ~Rita Mae Brown<br /> <br /> “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ~Oscar Wilde<br /> <br /> “If I decide to be an idiot, then I’ll be an idiot on my own accord.” ~Johann Sebastian Bach<br /> <br /> “Don’t bend; water it down; or make it logical; don’t edit your soul for fashion. Follow intense obsessions mercilessly.” ~Franz Kafka<br /> <br /> “All I can be is me — whoever that is.” ~Bob Dylan<br /> <br /> “You are not in this world to live up to other people’s expectations, nor should you feel the world must live up to yours.” ~ F. Perl<br /> <br /> “The things that make me different are the things that make me.” ~A. A. Milne<br /> <br /> “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” ~Steve Jobs<br /> <br /> “It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.” ~André Gide<br /> <br /> “There are hundreds of paths up the mountain, all leading to the same place, so it doesn’t matter which path you take. The only person wasting time is the one who runs around the mountain, telling everyone that his or her path is wrong.” ~Hindu proverb<br /> <br /> “Poor is the soul whose pleasure depends upon the permission of another” ~Madonna<br /> <br /> “Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.” ~Oscar Wilde<br /> <br /> “To create one’s world in any of the arts takes courage.” ~Georgia O’Keeffe<br /> ‎<br /> “Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.” ~Leonardo da Vinci<br /> <br /> “You don’t make art, you find it” ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> “Creativity is essentially a lonely art. An even lonelier struggle. To some a blessing. To others a curse. It is in reality the ability to reach inside yourself and drag forth from your very soul an idea.” ~Lou Dorfsman<br /> <br /> “The chief enemy of creativity is good sense.” ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” ~G.B. Shaw<br /> <br /> “Everything’s already been said, but since nobody was listening, we have to start again.” ~Andre Gide<br /> <br /> “Creativity takes courage.” ~Henri Matisse<br /> <br /> “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour and with that one, is what we are doing.” ~Annie Dillard<br /> <br /> “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” ~Albert Einstein<br /> <br /> “I invent nothing, I rediscover.” ~Auguste Rodin<br /> <br /> “To draw, you must close your eyes and sing” ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> “If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.” ~Marc Chagall<br /> <br /> “Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth.” ~Rumi<br /> <br /> “Find something only you can say” ~James Dickey<br /> <br /> “Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found.” ~James Russell Lowell<br /> <br /> “Free your mind and your ass will follow” ~George Clinton<br /> <br /> “Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite–getting something down.” ~Julia Cameron<br /> <br /> “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” ~Scott Adams<br /> <br /> “To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.” ~Kurt Vonnegut<br /> <br /> “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” ~Jung<br /> <br /> “Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” ~Andy Warhol<br /> <br /> “When you play, never mind who listens to you.” ~Robert Schumann<br /> <br /> “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.” ~Leonardo da Vinci<br /> <br /> “Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education” ~Goethe<br /> <br /> “Go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here. Make. Good. Art.” ~Neil Gaiman<br /> <br /> “To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.” ~Pema Chödrön<br /> <br /> “The lessons you are meant to learn are in your work. To see them, you need only look at the work clearly — without judgment, without need or fear, without wishes or hopes. Without emotional expectations. Ask your work what it needs, not what you need. Then set aside your fears and listen, the way a good parent listens to a child” ~David Bayles<br /> <br /> “Everything in life comes to you as a teacher. Pay Attention. Learn Quickly.” ~Cherokee saying<br /> <br /> “Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.<br /> Life is beauty, admire it.<br /> Life is a dream, realize it.<br /> Life is a challenge, meet it.<br /> Life is a duty, complete it.<br /> Life is a game, play it.<br /> Life is a promise, fulfill it.<br /> Life is sorrow, overcome it.<br /> Life is a song, sing it.<br /> Life is a struggle, accept it.<br /> Life is a tragedy, confront it.<br /> Life is an adventure, dare it.<br /> Life is luck, make it.<br /> Life is life, fight for it.”<br /> ~Mother Teresa<br /> <br /> “You may not be a Picasso or Mozart but you don’t have to be. Just create to create. Create to remind yourself you’re still alive. Make stuff to inspire others to make something too. Create to learn a bit more about yourself.” ~Frederick Terral<br /> <br /> “We are not on this earth to accumulate victories, things, and experiences, but to be whittled and sandpapered until what’s left is who we truly are.” ~Arianna Huffington<br /> <br /> “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in – forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ~Emerson<br /> <br /> “There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.” ~J.R.R. Tolkien<br /> <br /> “The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication.” ~Cyril Connolly<br /> <br /> “Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, or evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.” ~Henry Miller<br /> <br /> ”The seed of your next artwork lies embedded in the imperfections of your current piece.” ~David Bayles<br /> <br /> “Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.” ~Jimi Hendrix<br /> <br /> “An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.” ~Charles Horton Cooley<br /> <br /> “A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.” ~John Burroughs<br /> <br /> ”It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and then we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.” ~Wendell Berry<br /> <br /> “It’s better to fail in originality, than succeed in imitation.” ~Herman Melville<br /> <br /> “I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.” ~Augusten Burroughs<br /> <br /> “Some succeed because they are destined. Some succeed because they are determined.” ~Unknown<br /> <br /> “Life isn’t fair, it’s just fairer than death, that’s all.” ~William Goldman<br /> <br /> “Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.” ~Leonardo da Vinci<br /> <br /> “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” ~Lao Tzu<br /> <br /> “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” ~Douglas Adams<br /> <br /> “Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.” ~Norman Vincent Peale<br /> <br /> “I would rather die of passion than of boredom.” ~Vincent van Gogh<br /> <br /> “Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing.” ~Georgia O’Keeffe<br /> <br /> “Do not fear mistakes—there are none.” ~Miles Davis<br /> <br /> “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” ~Khalil Gibran<br /> <br /> “You should keep on painting no matter how difficult it is, because this is all part of experience, and the more experience you have, the better it is…unless it kills you, and then you know you have gone too far.” ~ Alice Neel<br /> <br /> “Fail, fail again, fail better” ~Samuel Beckett<br /> <br /> “The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.” ~Robert Hughes<br /> <br /> “Faith is taking the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.<br /> <br /> “You’ve got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.” ~Charlie Parker<br /> <br /> “When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen….There will be something solid for us to stand on or we will be taught to fly.” ~Patrick Overton<br /> <br /> “Destiny is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you’re about will come true.” ~Bob Dylan<br /> <br /> “The bird of paradise alights only on the hand that does not grasp” ~John Berry<br /> <br /> “Success is not final, failure is not fatal — it is the courage to continue that counts.” ~Winston Churchill<br /> <br /> “We know what we are, but not what we may be.” ~William Shakespeare<br /> <br /> “Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson<br /> <br /> “We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.” ~Kurt Vonnegut<br /> <br /> “Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” ~Ira Glass<br /> <br /> “Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment” ~Rumi<br /> <br /> “Let yourself go. Pull out from the depths those thoughts that you do not understand, and spread them out in the sunlight and know the meaning of them.” ~E.M. Forster<br /> <br /> “We must be willing to let go of the life we planned in order to have the life that is waiting for us.” ~Joseph Campbell<br /> <br /> “Only those that risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” ~T.S. Eliot<br /> <br /> “Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful” ~ John Wooden<br /> <br /> “I have great faith in fools — my friends call it self-confidence.” ~Edgar Allan Poe<br /> <br /> “Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heartache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. We are all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up to discover what is already there.” ~Henry Miller<br /> <br /> “To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.” ~Soren Kierkegaard<br /> <br /> “Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” ~Shel Silverstein<br /> <br /> ‎”Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” ~Robert Louis Stevenson<br /> <br /> “You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.” ~Stephen King<br /> <br /> “A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.” ~William Shakespeare<br /> <br /> “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.” ~Joseph Chilton Pearce<br /> <br /> “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” ~Joseph Campbell<br /> <br /> “I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single think that I wanted to do.” ~Georgia O’Keeffe<br /> <br /> “Do not be troubled for a language, cultivate your soul and she will show herself.” ~Eugene Delacroix<br /> <br /> We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” ~e.e. cummings<br /> <br /> “You are not too old and it is not too late to dive into your depths where life calmly gives out it’s own secret” ~Rilke<br /> <br /> “It’s not denial. I’m just selective about the reality I accept.” ~Calvin and Hobbes<br /> <br /> “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” ~Nelson Mandela<br /> <br /> “As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.” ~Goethe<br /> <br /> “The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” ~Sylvia Plath<br /> <br /> “One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others” ~Lewis Carroll<br /> <br /> “Give what you have. To someone else it may be better than you dare to think” ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br /> <br /> “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” ~Buddha<br /> <br /> “No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted” ~Aesop<br /> <br /> “At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. ” ~Albert Schweitzer<br /> <br /> “The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget yourself, and think of others.” ~Norman Vincent Peale<br /> <br /> “To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.” ~Jasper Johns<br /> <br /> “We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.” ~Herman Melville<br /> <br /> “When you learn, teach, when you get, give.” ~Maya Angelou<br /> <br /> “Talent is a gift that brings with it an obligation to serve the world, and not ourselves, for it is not of our making.” ~Jose Marti<br /> <br /> “He neither serves nor rules, he transmits. His position is humble and the beauty at the crown is not his own. He is merely a channel” ~Paul Klee<br /> <br /> “Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don’t be sorry.” ~Jack Kerouac<br /> <br /> “This world is but a canvas to our imagination.” ~Thoreau<br /> <br /> “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” ~Henri Matisse<br /> <br /> “The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web. ” ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> “Reality is whatever refuses to go away when I stop believing in it.” ~Philip K. Dick<br /> <br /> “I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed!” ~William Shakespeare<br /> <br /> “I shut my eyes in order to see.” ~Paul Gauguin<br /> <br /> “To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all.” ~Anatole France<br /> <br /> “You need not leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, simply wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.” ~Kafka<br /> <br /> “Silence is the mother of truth” ~Benjamin Disraeli<br /> <br /> “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” ~Thoreau<br /> <br /> “No artist tolerates reality.” ~Nietzsche<br /> <br /> “Who looks outside, dreams… who looks inside, awakes.” ~Carl Jung<br /> <br /> “Think outside the box, collapse the box, and take a f**king sharp knife to it.” ~Banksy<br /> <br /> “Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads” ~Erica Jong<br /> <br /> “Have your adventures, make your mistakes, and choose your friends poorly — all these make for great stories.” ~Chuck Palahniuk<br /> <br /> “If you have to find devices to coax yourself to stay focused on writing, perhaps you should not be writing what you’re writing. And if this lack of motivation is a constant problem, perhaps writing is not your forte. I mean, what is the problem? If writing bores you, that is pretty fatal. If that is not the case, but you find that it is hard going and it just doesn’t flow, well, what did you expect? It is work; art is work.” ~Ursula K. LeGuin<br /> <br /> “Don’t market yourself. Editors and readers don’t know what they want until they see it. Scratch what itches. Write what you need to write, feed the hunger for meaning in your life. Play at the serious questions of life and death.” ~Donald M. Murray<br /> <br /> “You ask me why I spend my life writing? Do I find entertainment? Is it worthwhile? Above all, does it pay? If not, then, is there a reason?… I write only because there is a voice within me. That will not be still.” ~Sylvia Plath<br /> <br /> “You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.” ~Madeleine L’Engle<br /> <br /> “We do not write as we want, but as we can.” ~W. Somerset Maugham<br /> <br /> “I sit in the dark and wait for a little flame to appear at the end of my pencil.” ~Billy Collins<br /> <br /> “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” ~Ray Bradbury<br /> <br /> “One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. Something more will arise for later, something better.” ~Annie Dillard<br /> <br /> “How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” ~Thoreau<br /> <br /> “The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don’t dare reveal.” ~Elia Kazan<br /> <br /> “It’s much more important to write than to be written about.” ~Gabriel Garcia Marquez<br /> <br /> “So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.” ~Dr. Seuss<br /> <br /> “Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word.” ~Stephen King<br /> <br /> “True storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.” ~Hannah Arendt<br /> <br /> “I never think when I write. Nobody can do two things at the same time and do them both well” ~Don Marquis<br /> <br /> “A little talent is good to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is the ability to remember every scar.” ~Stephen King<br /> <br /> “Writing is a struggle against silence.” ~Carlos Fuentes<br /> <br /> “Every author in some way portrays himself in his works, even if it be against his will.” ~Goethe<br /> <br /> “A writer is someone who can make a riddle out of an answer.” ~Karl Kraus<br /> <br /> “Fiction is the truth inside the lie.” ~Stephen King<br /> <br /> “Words are things. A small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think” ~Byron<br /> <br /> <br /> “I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.” Vincent van Gogh<br /> <br /> “Creativity takes courage.” Henri Matisse<br /> <br /> “If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.” Edward Hopper<br /> <br /> “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” Andy Warhol<br /> <br /> Unconventional Guide to Art &amp; Money“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> “Great art picks up where nature ends.” Marc Chagall<br /> <br /> “The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.” Piet Mondrian<br /> <br /> “Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.” Salvador Dali<br /> <br /> “The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.” Francis Bacon<br /> <br /> "To create one’s own world takes courage.” Georgia O’Keeffe<br /> <br /> “The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.”<br /> Alberto Giacometti<br /> <br /> “The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live.” Auguste Rodin<br /> <br /> “It is important to express oneself...provided the feelings are real and are taken from you own experience.” Berthe Morisot<br /> <br /> “To be an artist is to believe in life.” Henry Moore<br /> <br /> “Every good painter paints what he is.” Jackson Pollock<br /> <br /> “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” Edgar Degas<br /> <br /> “ In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.” Ralph Waldo Emerson<br /> <br /> “Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing.” Georgia O’Keeffe<br /> <br /> “What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.”<br /> Eugene Delacroix<br /> <br /> “Art must be an expression of love or it is nothing.” Marc Chagall<br /> <br /> “Don't be an art critic, but paint, there lies salvation.” Paul Cezanne<br /> <br /> “Life obliges me to do something, so I paint.” Rene Magritte<br /> <br /> “If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.” Marc Chagall<br /> <br /> “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way--things I had no words for.” Georgia O'Keeffe<br /> <br /> “The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.” Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> “A Good artist has less time than ideas.” Martin Kippenberger<br /> <br /> “Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” Andy Warhol<br /> <br /> “I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.” Frida Kahlo<br /> <br /> “I paint for myself. I don't know how to do anything else, anyway. Also I have to earn my living, and occupy myself.” Francis Bacon<br /> <br /> “A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.” Paul Cezanne<br /> <br /> “Have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it.” Salvador Dali<br /> <br /> “The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.” Lucian Freud<br /> <br /> “There is no must in art because art is free.” Wassily Kandinsky<br /> <br /> “Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.” Leonardo da Vinci<br /> <br /> “If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.” Michelangelo<br /> <br /> “Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.” Claude Monet<br /> <br /> “Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye.. it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.” Edvard Munch<br /> <br /> “Painting is a means of self-enlightenment.” John Olsen<br /> <br /> “I don't say everything, but I paint everything.” Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> “The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.” Vincent Van Gogh<br /> <br /> “The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.” Banksy<br /> <br /> “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.” Twyla Tharp<br /> <br /> “An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.” Charles Horton Cooley<br /> <br /> “There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it.” Henry Moore<br /> <br /> “One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.” Leonardo da Vinci<br /> <br /> “An artist never really finishes his work; he merely abandons it.” Paul Valéry<br /> <br /> “The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” Aristotle<br /> <br /> “No great artist ever sees things as they really are.

The strokes come like speech.” Vincent Van Gogh<br /> <br /> “The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.” Paul Strand<br /> <br /> “It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.” Henry David Thoreau<br /> <br /> “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr Suess<br /> <br /> “There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.” Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> “It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.” Vincent Van Gogh<br /> <br /> “If a man devotes himself to art, much evil is avoided that happens otherwise if one is idle.” Albrecht Durer<br /> <br /> paul strand quotes“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.” Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> “I wish they would only take me as I am.” Vincent Van Gogh<br /> <br /> “Painting is the grandchild of nature. It is related to God.” Rembrandt<br /> <br /> “Art is never finished, only abandoned” Leonardo Da Vinci<br /> <br /> “To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.” Kurt Vonnegut<br /> <br /> “It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academicism. There is no such thing as good painting about nothing.” Mark Rothko<br /> <br /> "Art, Undeniably, is conductive to happiness." unknown<br /> <br /> “Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.” Vincent Van Gogh<br /> <br /> “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> “Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.” Andy Warhol<br /> <br /> “The greater the artist, the greater the doubt.

Vincent van Gogh<br /> <br /> “Do not fear mistakes - there are none.” Miles David<br /> <br /> “A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.” Michelangelo<br /> <br /> “In our time there are many artists who do something because it is new; they see their value and their justification in this newness. They are deceiving themselves; novelty is seldom the essential. This has to do with one thing only; making a subject better from its intrinsic nature.” Henri de Toulouse Lautrec<br /> <br /> Get the Book - Goal Wheel for Artists! “You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.” Pierre Auguste Renoir<br /> <br /> “The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it.

Art is knowing which ones to keep. ~Scott Adams<br /> <br /> Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. ~Twyla Tharp<br /> <br /> The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. ~William Faulkner<br /> <br /> Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up. ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one. ~Stella Adler<br /> <br /> Painting is silent poetry. ~Plutarch, Moralia: How to Study Poetry<br /> <br /> Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. ~Leonardo da Vinci<br /> <br /> It has been said that art is a tryst, for in the joy of it maker and beholder meet. ~Kojiro Tomita<br /> <br /> Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in. ~Amy Lowell<br /> <br /> To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist. ~Schumann<br /> <br /> We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies. ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things. ~Henri Matisse<br /> <br /> An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one. ~Charles Horton Cooley<br /> <br /> Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression. ~Isaac Bashevis Singer<br /> <br /> To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make us feel small in the wrong way. ~E.M. Forster, Two Cheers for Democracy, 1951<br /> <br /> Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail. ~Theodore Dreiser, Life, Art, and America, 1917<br /> <br /> The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. ~Paul Strand<br /> <br /> All art requires courage. ~Anne Tucker<br /> <br /> Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. ~Oscar Wilde<br /> <br /> Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do. ~Edgar Degas<br /> <br /> It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work. ~Henry Moore<br /> <br /> Pictures must not be too picturesque. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson<br /> <br /> Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. ~André Gide<br /> <br /> Anyone who says you can't see a thought simply doesn't know art. ~Wynetka Ann Reynolds<br /> <br /> But that's what being an artist is - feeling crummy before everyone else feels crummy. ~The New Yorker<br /> <br /> Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass. ~Fran Lebowitz<br /> <br /> Great art picks up where nature ends. ~Marc Chagall<br /> <br /> When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college - that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?" ~Howard Ikemoto<br /> <br /> Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame. ~G.K. Chesterton<br /> <br /> What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit. ~John Updike<br /> <br /> The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe, he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life. ~Henry Miller<br /> <br /> No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist. ~Oscar Wilde<br /> <br /> Let me ask you something, what is not art? ~Author Unknown<br /> <br /> An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them. ~Andy Warhol<br /> <br /> The buttocks are the most aesthetically pleasing part of the body because they are non-functional. Although they conceal an essential orifice, these pointless globes are as near as the human form can ever come to abstract art. ~Kenneth Tynan<br /> <br /> God and other artists are always a little obscure. ~Oscar Wilde<br /> <br /> For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh. ~Georges Rouault<br /> <br /> Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson<br /> <br /> The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality. ~T.S. Eliot, Tradition and the Individual Talent, 1919<br /> <br /> There is no surer method of evading the world than by following Art, and no surer method of linking oneself to it than by Art. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<br /> <br /> Art is... a question mark in the minds of those who want to know what's happening. ~Aaron Howard<br /> <br /> I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for. ~Georgia O'Keeffe<br /> <br /> Man will begin to recover the moment he takes art as seriously as physics, chemistry or money. ~Ernst Levy<br /> <br /> Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea. ~John Anthony Ciardi<br /> <br /> As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language. ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do? ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> I want to reach that condensation of sensations that constitutes a picture. ~Henri Matisse, Notes d'un peintre, 1908<br /> <br /> Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness. ~George Jean Nathan, House of Satan<br /> <br /> Art is the colors and textures of your imagination. ~Meghan, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999<br /> <br /> Art is your personal diary where you may color your thoughts and emotions on a page. ~Sara, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999<br /> <br /> Art is a shadow of what a person is thinking... a small glimpse of what they hold inside. Little secrets, regrets, joys... every line has its own meaning. ~Sarah, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999<br /> <br /> Art is your emotions flowing in a river of imagination. ~Devin, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999<br /> <br /> Art is an adventure that never seems to end. ~Jason, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999<br /> <br /> Art is pictures straight from the heart. ~Ben, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999<br /> <br /> If Michelangelo had been straight, the Sistine Chapel would have been wallpapered. ~Robin Tyler<br /> <br /> Art is the triumph over chaos. ~John Cheever<br /> <br /> All great art comes from a sense of outrage. ~Glenn Close<br /> <br /> Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life. ~Jean Paul Richter<br /> <br /> Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. ~Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Orthodoxy<br /> <br /> Colors are the deeds and sufferings of light. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<br /> <br /> One of the best things about paintings is their silence - which prompts reflection and random reverie. ~Mark Stevens<br /> <br /> God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style. He just goes on trying other things. ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> Art doesn't have to matter to a lot of people to matter a lot. ~Jeb Dickerson<br /> <br /> Art hath an enemy called ignorance. ~Ben Jonson<br /> <br /> What garlic is to salad, insanity is to art. ~Augustus Saint-Gaudens<br /> <br /> Art... does not take kindly to facts, is helpless to grapple with theories, and is killed outright by a sermon. ~Agnes Repplier, Points of View, 1891<br /> <br /> Art disturbs, science reassures. ~Georges Braque, Le Jour et la nuit<br /> <br /> As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life. ~John Lubbock<br /> <br /> It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man. ~Loren Eiseley, The Night Country, 1971<br /> <br /> Art is spirituality in drag. ~Jennifer Yane<br /> <br /> Coloring outside the lines is a fine art. ~Kim Nance<br /> <br /> Reflexes and instincts are not pretty. It is their decoration that initiates art. ~Martin H. Fischer<br /> <br /> What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself - life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose. ~Willa Cather<br /> <br /> An artist is a dreamer consenting to dream of the actual world. ~George Santayana<br /> <br /> Art is like a border of flowers along the course of civilization. ~Lincoln Steffens<br /> <br /> Art is not a thing; it is a way. ~Elbert Hubbard<br /> <br /> An artist's career always begins tomorrow. ~James McNeill Whistler<br /> <br /> Surely nothing has to listen to so many stupid remarks as a painting in a museum. ~Edmond &amp; Jules de Goncourt<br /> <br /> When painting, an artist must take care not to trap his soul in the canvas. ~Terri Guillemets<br /> <br /> An artist must be careful not to throw his ideas out with the trash. ~Terri Guillemets<br /> <br /> Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere. ~G.K. Chesterton<br /> <br /> The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through his world. ~André Malraux<br /> <br /> An artist never really finishes his work; he merely abandons it. ~Paul Valéry<br /> <br /> Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is. ~Willa Cather, The Song of the Lark, 1915<br /> <br /> A subject that is beautiful in itself gives no suggestion to the artist. It lacks imperfection. ~Oscar Wilde<br /> <br /> An artist cannot talk about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture. ~Jean Cocteau <br /> <br /> The artist does not see things as they are, but as he is. ~Alfred Tonnelle<br /> <br /> Art is the struggle to understand. ~Terri Guillemets<br /> <br /> A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened. ~Albert Camus<br /> <br /> For the mystic what is how. For the craftsman how is what. For the artist what and how are one. ~William McElcheran<br /> <br /> Art is a kind of illness. ~Giacomo Puccini<br /> <br /> A great artist is always before his time or behind it. ~George Moore<br /> <br /> A man and his art are like a fool and his king. ~Terri Guillemets<br /> <br /> Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation. ~Henri Cartier-Bresson<br /> <br /> I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical, that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum. ~Claes Oldenburg<br /> <br /> Science is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon eternal truths. Art is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon things beautiful and immortal and ever-changing. To morals belong the lower and less intellectual spheres. ~Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist, 1891<br /> <br /> While I recognize the necessity for a basis of observed reality... true art lies in a reality that is felt. ~Odilon Redon<br /> <br /> There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality. ~Pablo Picasso<br /> <br /> If one looks closely enough, one can see angels in every piece of art. ~Terri Guillemets<br /> <br /> My inspiration is art... because without art, we would just be stuck with reality. ~Daniel R. Lynch<br /> <br /> The question of common sense is always what is it good for? - a question which would abolish the rose and be answered triumphantly by the cabbage. ~James Russell Lowell<br /> <br /> The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. ~Aristotle<br /> <br /> Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul — and you answer. ~Terri Guillemets<br /> <br /> Listen carefully to first criticisms made of your work. Note just what it is about your work that critics don't like - then cultivate it. That's the only part of your work that's individual and worth keeping. ~Jean Cocteau<br /> <br /> Picasso would give up cubism just to capture your curves. ~Konfal Blyther<br /> <br /> Any great work of art... revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world - the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air. ~Leonard Bernstein, What Makes Opera Grand?<br /> <br /> Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master; thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild. ~Dante Alighieri, Inferno<br /> <br /> A portrait has one advantage over its original: it is unconscious; and you may therefore admire without insulting it. I have seen portraits which have more. ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827<br /> <br /> The fine arts once divorcing themselves from truth are quite certain to fall mad, if they do not die. ~Thomas Carlyle, Latter Day Pamphlets, no. 8<br /> <br /> Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable. ~George Bernard Shaw<br /> <br /> Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue. Those of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we're stupid. ~Jules Feiffer<br /> <br /> All the other colors are just colors, but purple seems to have a soul. Purple is not just a noun and an adjective but also a verb - when you look at it, it's looking back at you. ~Uniek Swain<br /> <br /> Architecture begins where engineering ends. ~Walter Gropius<br /> <br /> Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling. ~G.K. Chesterton<br /> <br /> Why should I paint dead fish, onions and beer glasses? Girls are so much prettier. ~Marie Laurencin<br /> <br /> Art is Man's nature. Nature is god's art. ~James Bailey<br /> <br /> The artist gazes upon a reality and creates his own impression. The viewer gazes upon the impression and creates his own <br /> <br /> Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together. ~John Ruskin <br /> <br /> Abstract art is a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.<br /> Al Capp (1909 - 1979)<br /> <br /> Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.<br /> Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947), Dialogues (1954)<br /> <br /> Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.<br /> Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil's Dictionary<br /> <br /> Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in. Amy Lowell (1874 - 1925)<br /> <br /> Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.<br /> Andre Gide (1869 - 1951)<br /> <br /> I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.<br /> Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984)<br /> <br /> Let each man exercise the art he knows.<br /> Aristophanes (450 BC - 388 BC), Wasps, 422 B.C.<br /> <br /> The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.<br /> Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)<br /> <br /> Art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, in a constant search for truth.<br /> Barbra Streisand (1942 - )<br /> <br /> I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.<br /> Ben Shahn (1898 - 1969)<br /> <br /> So you see, imagination needs moodling - long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering.<br /> Brenda Ueland<br /> <br /> I suppose no matter what I'm drawing, there will always be some sort of question in my mind about it. A work of art (even cartoon art)is never really finished; it is abandoned.<br /> Brooke McEldowney, Pibgorn commentary, 03-31-05<br /> <br /> I can't criticize what I don't understand. If you want to call this art, you've got the benefit of all my doubts.<br /> Charles Rosin, Northern Exposure, Aurora Borealis, 1990<br /> <br /> Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.<br /> Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)<br /> <br /> Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests.<br /> David Cronenberg, Rocketboom, 07-19-06<br /> <br /> The idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution.<br /> I don't understand why people think everything has to have meaning. While painting the Mona Lisa did Leonardo Da Vinci intend for it to have greater meaning than a work of art that he made?<br /> Devin J. Monroe (1983 - )<br /> <br /> If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.<br /> Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Cicely, 1992<br /> <br /> I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.<br /> Duke Ellington (1899 - 1974)<br /> <br /> Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.<br /> E. M. Forster (1879 - 1970)<br /> <br /> Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.<br /> Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937)<br /> <br /> Art is on the side of the oppressed. Think before you shudder at the simplistic dictum and its heretical definition of the freedom of art. For if art is freedom of the spirit, how can it exist within the oppressors?<br /> Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937)<br /> <br /> A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.<br /> Edmond de Goncourt (1822 - 1896)<br /> <br /> It is all very well, when the pen flows, but then there are the dark days when imagination deserts one, and it is an effort to put anything down on paper. That little you have achieved stares at you at the end of the day, and you know the next morning you will have to scrape it down and start again.<br /> Elizabeth Aston, The True Darcy Spirit, 2006<br /> <br /> Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.<br /> Elizabeth Bowen (1899 - 1973)<br /> <br /> Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.<br /> Eugene Delacroix (1798 - 1863)<br /> <br /> I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.<br /> Federico Fellini (1920 - 1993)<br /> <br /> Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.<br /> Frank Zappa (1940 - 1993)<br /> <br /> I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.<br /> Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954)<br /> <br /> Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.<br /> G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) <br /> <br /> <b>The Idiot’s Guide to Becoming Famous with Minimal Effort</b><br /> <br /> <br /> Step 1.) Do something incredibly stupid and obnoxious to attract attention to yourself<br /> <br /> Don’t be afraid to think outside the box here. This can be in the form of a video, stunt, hoax, or just good old-fashioned vandalism. Keep in mind that as a culture we have become somewhat desensitized to people doing stupid things from years of watching people do stupid things, so try to think big.<br /> <br /> <br /> Step 2.) Be sure to record your act of stupidity and publish it on YouTube.<br /> <br /> Remember that recording and documenting your act of idiocy is not optional here. These days if you don’t capture something on video, you might as well go back to live in your primitive cave of obscurity.<br /> <br /> Famous Idiot Exhibit #1<br /> <br /> It’s the whole tree falling in the forest kind of thing. This isn’t 2005 and nobody wants to sit down and read about it in some old-fashioned newspaper, they want to actually see it happen so they can shake their head in disbelief as they are clicking on the share buttons.<br /> <br /> Although it’s true that you might get fined or arrested for your stunt, don’t worry about it because you will also get your name in the papers, the blogs, cable news channels, and other ridiculous websites (like this one) that have nothing better to do than to give you more free publicity.<br /> <br /> Just make sure that they spell your name correctly.<br /> <br /> <br /> Step 3.) Get rewarded for your idiocy and bask in your new-found fame<br /> <br /> Congratulations you are now famous! Please keep in mind, however that although your fame may be immediate, it is far from permanent. So while you are soaking in your 15 minutes of fame, be sure to be thinking about your next public spectacle of stupidity. Because as much as we enjoy watching your personal train-wreck on YouTube, there is always another idiot just around the corner waiting to shock and amuse us.<br /> <br /> <br /> Then again, there is nothing wrong with fame itself.<br /> <br /> Don’t get the wrong idea here. There is nothing wrong with being famous. Just as there is no inherent goodness from spending your life toiling in obscurity.<br /> <br /> Being famous doesn’t make you any better of a creative artist. In fact, those who achieve a certain amount of fame often feel trapped by it (I know boo-boo right?). As soon as someone achieves some degree of fame and success however, the temptation is always there for them to stick with that same tried-and-true formula, instead of risking potential failure by trying something new. They find themselves suddenly trapped in a creative rut because of the expectations of their audience. <br /> <br /> I never wanted to be famous. I only wanted to be great. ~Ray Charles<br /> <br /> Fame is (or at least should be) the public recognition that you have achieved some degree of mastery at your chosen profession. What fame shouldn’t be, however, is a goal in itself.<br /> <br /> So maybe we should stop wasting all of of this energy trying to get ourselves noticed and perhaps spend some of that time working on becoming a better creative artist.<br /> <br /> Despite what you may have heard, there are no shortcuts.<br /> <br /> There is no “easy” button.<br /> <br /> You just have to sit down and do the work.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> TAGS<br /> <br /> Artist Life, Facebook, Feature, Inspiratione, amazing quotes, best quotes, creative process, creative process in art, creative quotes, creativity quotes for kids, creativity quotes tumblr, inspirational quotes, inspirational quotes about life facebook, inspirational quotes about life for facebook status, inspirational quotes about life for facebook statuses, motivational quotes, picasso quotes work, stan rams qoutes gardenDokter Infohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06568392817707398271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215365768220511704.post-86910701501757959612013-06-10T14:53:00.000-07:002013-06-10T14:56:51.336-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SYEViOVv39Q" width="420"></iframe> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/K-sTNxhWL3I" width="420"></iframe> <br /> <br /> I hate to sleep cause when I sing in dreams I can't eat ~ Pavarotti.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sarah do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again.<br /> &nbsp;Major Sullivan Ballou, to his wife, a week before his death in 1861, during the Civil War<br /> <br /> A cup of coffee - real coffee - home-browned, home-ground, home-made, that comes to you dark as a hazel-eye, but changes to a golden bronze as you temper it with cream that never cheated, but was real cream from its birth, thick, tenderly yellow, perfectly sweet, neither lumpy nor frothing on the Java: such a coffee is a match for twenty blue devils, and will exorcise them all.<br /> &nbsp;Henry Ward Beecher "Eyes and Ears"<br /> <br /> On Broadway it was still bright afternoon and the gassy air was almost motionless under the leaden spokes of sunlight, and sawdust footprints lay about the doorways of butcher shops and fruit stores. And the great, great crowd, the inexhaustible current of millions of every race and kind pouring out, pressing round, of every age, of every genius, possessors of every human secret, antique and future, in every face the refinement of one particular motive or essence -- I labor, I spend, I strive, I design, I love, I cling, I uphold, I give way, I envy, I long, I scorn, I die, I hide, I want. Faster, much faster than any man could make the tally. The sidewalks were wider than any causeway; the street itself was immense, and it quaked and gleamed and it seemed ... to throb at the last limit of endurance.<br /> &nbsp;Saul Bellow "Seize the Day"<br /> <br /> Son of man, keep not silent, forget not deeds of tyranny. Cry out at the disaster of a people, recount it unto your children and they unto theirs. From generation to generation the hordes swept in, ran wild and savage and there was no deliverance, valiance, and revolt. How the mighty are fallen, the great in spirit and stout of heart, walking to their death with a halo of eternity.<br /> &nbsp;Yehuda L. Bialer (reference to the Holocaust)<br /> <br /> There is one kind of laugh that I always did recommend; it looks out of the eye first with a merry twinkle, then it creeps down on its hands and knees and plays around the mouth like a pretty moth around the blaze of a candle, then it steals over into the dimples of the cheeks and rides around in those whirlpools for a while, then it lights up the whole face like the mellow bloom on a damask rose, then it swims up on the air, with a peal as clear and as happy as a dinner-bell, then it goes back again on gold tiptoes like an angel out for an airing, and it lies down on its little bed of violets in the heart where it came from.<br /> &nbsp;Josh Billings<br /> <br /> To see a hillside white with dogwood bloom is to know a particular ecstasy of beauty, but to walk the gray Winter woods and find the buds which will resurrect that beauty in another May is to partake of continuity.<br /> &nbsp;Hal Borland, New York Times, November 28, 1948<br /> <br /> The true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory.<br /> &nbsp;Truman Capote "Other Voices, Other Rooms"<br /> <br /> Over increasingly large areas of the United States, spring now comes unheralded by the return of the birds, and the early mornings are strangely silent where once they were filled with the beauty of bird song.<br /> &nbsp;Rachel Carson, "The Silent Spring," 1962<br /> <br /> We were taken to a fast-food café where our order was fed into a computer. Our hamburger, made from the flesh of chemically impregnated cattle, had been broiled over counterfeit charcoal, placed between slices of artificially flavored cardboard and served to us by recycled juvenile delinquents.<br /> &nbsp;Jean Michel Chapereau, "Un Hiver Américain"<br /> <br /> Turn pimp, flatterer, quack, lawyer, parson, be chaplain to an atheist, or stallion to an old woman, anything but a poet; for a poet is worse, more servile, timorous and fawning than any I have named.<br /> &nbsp;William Congreve<br /> <br /> [In 1889] the last big tract of Indian land was declared open for settlement, in Oklahoma. The claimants and the speculators mounted their horses and lined up like trotters waiting for a starting gun. The itchy ones jumped the gun and were ever after known as Sooners -- and Oklahoma was thereafter called the Sooner State.<br /> &nbsp;Alistair Cooke, "America," 1973<br /> <br /> What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.<br /> &nbsp;Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator, 1890<br /> <br /> The hair was a Vaseline cathedral, the mouth a touchingly uncertain sneer of allure. One, two-wham! Like a berserk blender the lusty young pelvis whirred and the notorious git-tar slammed forward with a jolt that symbolically deflowered a generation of teenagers and knocked chips off 90 million older shoulders. Then out of the half-melted vanilla face a wild black baritone came bawling in orgasmic lurches. Whu-huh-huh-huh f'the money! Two f'the show! Three t'git riddy naa GO CAAT GO!<br /> &nbsp;Brad Darrach, on Elvis Presley, Life, Winter, 1977<br /> <br /> When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.<br /> &nbsp;James Matthew Barrie "Peter Pan"<br /> <br /> They were ravished with its loveliness; a warm, soft-voiced spring-green landscape dotted with sassafras and scarlet-colored snakewood, smelling of wild strawberries and hart's tongue.<br /> &nbsp;Marshall Fishwick, "Virginia: A New Look at the Old Dominion," 1959<br /> <br /> The human language is like a cracked kettle on which we beat out a tune for a dancing bear, when we hope with our music to move the stars.<br /> &nbsp;Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary<br /> <br /> Most marvelous and enviable is that fecundity of fancy which can adorn whatever it touches, which can invest naked fact and dry reasoning with unlooked for beauty, make flowers bloom even on the brow of the precipice.<br /> &nbsp;Margaret Fuller<br /> <br /> I have a most peaceable disposition. My desires are for a modest hut, a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, very fresh milk and butter, flowers in front of my window and a few pretty trees by my door. And should the good Lord wish to make me really happy, he will allow me the pleasure of seeing about six or seven of my enemies hanged upon those trees.<br /> &nbsp;Heinrich Heine<br /> <br /> When the moon shall have faded out from the sky, and the sun shall shine at noonday a dull cherry red, and the seas shall be frozen over, and the icecap shall have crept downward to the equator from either pole . . . when all the cities shall have long been dead and crumbled into dust, and all life shall be on the last verge of extinction on this globe; then, on a bit of lichen, growing on the bald rocks beside the eternal snows of Panama, shall be seated a tiny insect, preening its antennae in the glow of the worn-out sun, the sole survivor of animal life on this our earth -- a melancholy bug.<br /> &nbsp;William Jacob Holland "The Moth Book" 1903<br /> <br /> A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought, and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used.<br /> &nbsp;Oliver Wendell Holmes, opinion, Towne v. Eisner, January 7, 1918<br /> <br /> Melting pot Harlem -- Harlem of honey and chocolate and caramel and rum and vinegar and lemon and lime and gall ... where the subway from the Bronx keeps right on downtown.<br /> &nbsp;Langston Hughes, Freedomways, Summer, 1963<br /> <br /> To believe in a child is to believe in the future. Through their aspirations they will save the world. With their combined knowledge the turbulent seas of hate and injustice will be calmed. They will champion the causes of life's underdogs, forging a society without class discrimination. They will supply humanity with music and beauty as it has never known. They will endure. Towards these ends I pledge my life's work. I will supply the children with tools and knowledge to overcome the obstacles. I will pass on the wisdom of my years and temper it with patience. I shall impact in each child the desire to fulfill his or her dream. I shall teach.<br /> &nbsp;Henry James<br /> <br /> Somewhere there was once a Flower, a Stone, a Crystal, a Queen, a King, a Palace, a Lover and his Beloved, and this was long ago, on an Island somewhere in the ocean 5,000 years ago ... Such is Love, the Mystic Flower of the Soul. This is the Center, the Self.<br /> &nbsp;Carl Jung<br /> <br /> When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses, for art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstone of our judgment.<br /> &nbsp;John F. Kennedy- Address, Amherst College, October 26, 1963<br /> <br /> It is widely rumored, and also true, that I wrote my first novel in a closet. Before I get all rapturous and carried away here, I had better admit to that. The house was tiny; I was up late at night typing while another person slept, and there just wasn't any other place for me to go but that closet. The circumstances were extreme. And if I have to -- if the Furies should take my freedom or my sight -- I'll go back to writing in the dark. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, writers will go to stupefying lengths to get the infernal roar of words out of their skulls and onto paper.<br /> &nbsp;Barbara Kingsolver, Small Wonder<br /> <br /> It was cold out there, bitter, biting, cutting, piercing, hyperborean, marmoreal cold, and there were all these Minnesotans running around outdoors, happy as lambs in the spring.<br /> &nbsp;Charles Kuralt, Dateline America, 1979<br /> <br /> I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark burn out in a brilliant blaze than it be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.<br /> &nbsp;Jack London, 1916<br /> <br /> Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.<br /> &nbsp;Norman Maclean<br /> <br /> A political convention is after all not a meeting of a corporation's board of directors; it is a fiesta, a carnival, a pig-rooting, horse-snorting, band-playing, voice-screaming medieval get-together of greed, practical lust, compromised idealism, career-advancement, meeting, feud, vendetta, conciliation, of rabble-rousers, fist fights (as it used to be), embraces, drunks (again as it used to be) and collective rivers of animal sweat.<br /> &nbsp;Norman Mailer "Some Honorable Men: Political Conventions"<br /> <br /> New York is one of the capitals of the world and Los Angeles is a constellation of plastic, San Francisco is a lady, Boston has become Urban Renewal, Philadelphia and Baltimore and Washington wink like dull diamonds in the smog of Eastern Megalopolis, and New Orleans is unremarkable past the French Quarter. Detroit is a one-trade town, Pittsburgh has lost its golden triangle, St. Louis has become the golden arch of the corporation, and nights in Kansas City close early. The oil depletion allowance makes Houston and Dallas naught but checkerboards for this sort of game. But Chicago is a great American city. Perhaps it is the last of the great American cities.<br /> &nbsp;Norman Mailer, "Miami and the Siege of Chicago," 1968<br /> <br /> The mind I love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind.<br /> &nbsp;Katherine Mansfield<br /> <br /> There are some people who read too much: The bibliobibuli. I know some who are constantly drunk on books, as others are drunk on whiskey or religion. They wander through this most diverting and stimulating of worlds in a haze, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.<br /> &nbsp;H. L. Mencken<br /> <br /> We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and riffle their pockets for new vocabulary.<br /> &nbsp;James D. Nicoll<br /> <br /> When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.<br /> &nbsp;Henri Nouwen "Out of Solitude"<br /> <br /> Down it came, the blessed deluge. The music of rain splashing on tents and tin sheds drove men to an ecstasy of rejoicing. They turned out to cheer; lifted up their faces and opened their mouths to drink the bright drops; danced round, hallooing and shouting, getting drenched in the downpour.<br /> &nbsp;Katherine Susannah Prichard "The Roaring Nineties" (1946)<br /> <br /> Hold on to your divine blush, your innate rosy magic, or end up brown. Once you're brown, you'll find out you're blue. As blue as indigo. And you know what that means. Indigo. Indigoing. Indigone.<br /> &nbsp;Tom Robbins<br /> <br /> Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever.<br /> &nbsp;Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross, "On Death and Dying," 1969<br /> <br /> In the dark colony of night, when I consider man's magnificent capacity for malice, madness, folly, envy, rage, and destructiveness, and I wonder whether we shall not end up as breakfast for newts and polyps, I seem to hear the muffled cries of all the words in all the books with covers closed.<br /> &nbsp;Leo Rosten<br /> <br /> Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.<br /> &nbsp;Carl Sandburg "Poetry Considered"<br /> <br /> When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that exalted, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.<br /> &nbsp;George Bernard Shaw "Getting Married" (1908)<br /> <br /> But why wasn't I born, alas, in an age of Adjectives; why can one no longer write of silver-shedding Tears and moon-tailed Peacocks, of eloquent Death, of the Negro and star-enameled Night?<br /> &nbsp;Logan Pearsall Smith, "More Trivia: Adjectives", 1921<br /> <br /> He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men, and the love of small children; who has filled his niche, and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty , or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others, and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction.<br /> &nbsp;Bessie Anderson Stanley (Prize-winning definition in a contest sponsored by Brown Book Magazine, Boston, 1904)<br /> <br /> Courage is not limited to the battlefield or to the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are...the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood, like fighting for what is right even when you know you are going to lose.<br /> &nbsp;Charles R. Swindoll "Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life"<br /> <br /> He looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom—a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God.<br /> &nbsp;Zora Neale Hurston "Their Eyes Were Watching God"<br /> <br /> If we hadn't our bewitching autumn foliage, we should still have to credit the weather with one feature which compensates for all its bullying vagaries-the ice-storm: when a leafless tree is clothed with ice from the bottom to the top -- ice that is as bright and clear as crystal; when every bough and twig is strung with ice-beads, frozen dew-drops, and the whole tree sparkles cold and white, like the Shah of Persia's diamond plume. Then the wind waves the branches and the sun comes out and turns all those myriads of beads and drops to prisms that glow and burn and flash with all manner of colored fires, which change and change again with inconceivable rapidity from blue to red, from red to green, and green to gold-the tree becomes a spraying fountain, a very explosion of dazzling jewels; and it stands there the acme, the climax, the supremest possibility in art or nature, of bewildering, intoxicating, intolerable magnificence. One cannot make the words too strong.<br /> &nbsp;Mark Twain<br /> <br /> This is the fairest picture on our planet, the most enchanting to look upon, the most satisfying to the eye and spirit. To see the sun sink down, drowned in his pink and purple and golden floods, and overwhelm Florence with tides of color that make all the sharp lines dim and faint and turn the solid city to a city of dreams, is a sight to stir the coldest nature, and make a sympathetic one drunk with ecstasy.<br /> &nbsp;Mark Twain "Autobiography," 1924<br /> <br /> When you long with all your heart for someone to love you, a madness grows there that shakes all sense from the trees and the water and the earth. And nothing lives for you, except the long deep bitter want. And this is what everyone feels from birth to death.<br /> &nbsp;Denton Welch<br /> <br /> I cannot just heave everything I know into the abyss. But I know it is coming. And when it comes, when I have made my sacrificial offerings to the gods of understanding, then the ruptures will cease. Healing waters will cover the land, giving birth to new life, burying forever the ancient, rusting machines of my past understandings. And on those waters I will set sail to places I now only imagine. There I will be blessed with new visions and new magic. I will feel once again like a creative contributor to this mysterious world. But for now, I wait. An act of faith. Land ho.<br /> &nbsp;Margaret Wheatly "A Simpler Way"<br /> <br /> We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.<br /> &nbsp;Woodrow Wilson<br /> <br /> A tearing wind last night. A flurry of red clouds, hard, a water colour mass of purple and black, soft as a water ice, then hard slices of intense green stone, blue stone and a ripple of crimson light.<br /> &nbsp;Virginia Woolf, in her diary, August 17, 1938<br /> <br /></div> Dokter Infohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06568392817707398271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215365768220511704.post-32307816559816571712013-04-11T18:16:00.001-07:002014-01-26T10:01:30.011-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht3KbvajvNv2sbsd4HCG-3IWm3IfWFiAc-fhFwW5sk5NGTWzCEqZI8o5PRNu79kSNkKM1jFW6sBcbQRQmHesSWKAX7vJY80nM9q1bOcEofysDAJk8_bfNC62p-BLfVlIgiRRZpRXbwWPYe/s320/You+can+ask+your+angels+if+there+is+something+you+need+to+know+right+now.+Take+a+few+deep+breaths,+sit+in+silence+and+see+if+you+can+feel+any+message+coming+through+to+you..jpg" height="272" width="320" /></div> <br /> <br /> I am not an angel and do not pretend to be. That is not one of my roles. But I am not the devil either. I am a woman and a serious artist, and I would like so to be judged. Maria Callas <br /> <br /> <br /> I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

The angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. Precisely where angels dwell — whether in the air, pay attention to your dreams as angels often speak directly to our hearts when you are asleep. Angels descending, bring from above,echoes of mercy, whispers of love. <br /><br />A fool without fear is sometimes wiser than an angel with fear though in the order of nature angels rank above men, yet, by scale of justice, good men are of greater value than bad angels. The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall.<br /><br />Music is well said to be the speech of angels. We shall find peace. We shall hear the angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds. The reason angels can fly is because they take themselves lightly.n to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning. If a man is not rising upwards to be an angel, depend upon it, he is sinking downwards to be a devil. <br /><br />The miracles in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.Who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight, has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world and every time you hear a bell ring, it means that some angel's just got his wings. Unseen, endless more angels, to wit, angels, archangels, virtues, powers, principalities, dominations, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim. Men would be as guardian angels of life and fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us.<br /><br />Time is man's angel and a man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, ''grow! grow!'' so to act like angels while we are still in this world is nothing but folly. The angels keep their ancient places Turn but a stone, and start a wing It's you, it's your estranged faces, that miss the many-splendored thing. <br /><br />When one has tasted watermelon he knows what the angels eat. Whether in the air, the void, or the planets. It has not been God's pleasure that we should be informed of their abode. We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another. Life is a tapestry: We are the warp; angels, the weft; God, the weaver. Only the Weaver sees the whole design. The guardian angels of life fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us. Angels fly at light speed. They are all around us, all the time, in the very air we breathe. <br /><br />Music is well said to be the speech of angels because they carry no burdens. Angels are direct creations of God, each one a unique Master's piece. Angels deliver Fate to our doorstep - and anywhere else it is needed. Everyone entrusted with a mission is an angel as all forces that reside in the body are angels. <br /><br />Angels are quite ample cause to cry.You'll meet more angels on a winding path than on a straight one. Make yourself familiar with the angels, and behold them frequently in spirit; for, without being seen, they are present with you whether we are filled with joy or grief, our angels are close to us, speaking to our hearts so we should pray to the angels, for they are given to us as guardians. Around our pillows golden ladders rise,And up and down the skies, with winged sandals shod, the angels come, and go, the Messengers of The Universe can fly directly into the heart of the matter. <br /><br />If angels rarely appear, it's because we all too often mistake the medium for the Message.

A message of the coming Messiah ( Anointed One), the Son of Salvation in accordance with God’s Holy Plan for all people. For He is always with you, in this age and in the ones to come. As He has promised , He will make every path straight. He only asks us to be loving and to place God first. That is simple, and if you feel that you are having trouble with this, then asking Jesus to be in our hearts will help to overflow in love and in Jesus. This is what God has planned, that all will love in Him. As He has sent the Holy Spirit to be with everyone, let everyone be forgiven, let every valley be replenished in the Father’s Love. <br /><br /> God helps each instance you feel love needs to be overflowing. God is loving and is with you every second of every day. Every moment always and always will be. Your heart is the place of Love that only God can fill. He is already there with you in your heart and so is His Son , Jesus Christ. Prepare for Love Divine and ask God to overflow in you and your family.God hears all sincere hearts fully and understands why you are calling him in every moment of the day. <br /><br /> Call on Him often, thank Him for every loving deed, thank him for His Mercy, His Love, His Kindness, thank him unceasingly. For everything good comes from God. Thank Him for your family, even if you are not understanding where the other is coming from. Ask in Faith for Love to heal any argument, any mishap, any err in thinking, any thought of separation, any doubt anywhere you feel you could use God’s help.

want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck." Dalai Lama”<br /> <br /> Happiness comes through taming the mind; without taming the mind there is no way to be happy.<br /> <br /> When you generate a reasoned desire for others to be happy, your humanity increases in strength.<br /> <br /> The more contact we have with one another and the more we come to understand each other’s values, the greater will be our mutual respect.<br /> <br /> Enemies teach us inner strength, courage and determination.<br /> <br /> I feel that a sense of compassion is the most precious thing there is.<br /> <br /> The point of our existence is that, as human beings, we live purposeful, meaningful lives.<br /> <br /> Even a small experience of altruism brings a measure of mental peace right away.<br /> <br /> If you focus only on yourself and neglect others, you will lose; but you will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself.<br /> <br /> The practice of love can be expressed in one sentence: ‘Do not harm others’.<br /> <br /> We must work to resolve conflicts in a spirit of reconciliation and always keep others' interests in mind.<br /> <br /> Moral ethics are the basis of world peace.<br /> <br /> We need an inarable combination of material and internal, or spiritual, progress.<br /> <br /> Love and compassion arising with a clear recognition of the importance and rights of others will reach even those who would do you harm.<br /> <br /> Put this question to yourself: should I use everyone else to attain happiness, or should I help others gain happiness?<br /> <br /> You must not consider tolerance and patience to be signs of weakness. I consider them signs of strength.<br /> <br /> My own experience, and that of others, has shown me the degree to which positive mental attitudes bring happiness to oneself and others.<br /> <br /> A calm and peaceful mind is something very essential.<br /> <br /> The message of love and compassion will travel far and wide if all who follow a spiritual path work together in harmony and mutual respect.<br /> <br /> If we try to secure the well-being of others, we will, at the same time, create the conditions for our own.<br /> <br /> The quality of altruism is fundamental, in my opinion, and will fill our daily lives with serenity and happiness.<br /> <br /> Whatever steps, however small, one can take towards learning to reduce the influence of the negative emotions can be very helpful.<br /> <br /> We need to consider how our actions, in affecting the environment, are likely to affect others.<br /> <br /> If we develop a good heart, real appreciation, love and compassion for others, our life will improve.<br /> <br /> Meet hostility and suspicion with kindness. Helping others out of love is always the best option.<br /> <br /> It seems wrong to think kindness is exclusively the business of religion; something to be neglected if one isn’t interested in spirituality.<br /> <br /> The world's major religious traditions all give the development of compassion a key role.<br /> <br /> If you use violence, you get temporary satisfaction. But the nature of violence is unpredictable – it gives rise to unexpected results<br /> <br /> All good qualities must be sown and cultivated. We can’t expect to change overnight from an ordinary person into one with high realizations.<br /> <br /> To control negative physical and verbal actions, it is necessary to get at their root, the mind, and tame it.<br /> <br /> If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.<br /> <br /> We must generate courage equal to the size of the difficulties we face.<br /> <br /> The very purpose of spiritual practice is to help others.<br /> <br /> Taking a realistic view and cultivating a proper motivation can also shield you against feelings of fear and anxiety.<br /> <br /> Whether we like it or not, we're all connected, and it is unthinkable to be happy all by oneself.<br /> <br /> Love, compassion and concern for others are real sources of happiness.<br /> <br /> The practice of cultivating altruism has a beneficial effect not only from a religious point of view but also from a mundane point of view.<br /> <br /> We are all part of the human community.<br /> <br /> Compassion is a deep desire to see others relieved of suffering; love is the other facet, a strong wish to see others happy.<br /> <br /> We all have the right to lead happy lives.<br /> <br /> Being motivated by compassion and love, respecting the rights of others – this is the real practice of religion.<br /> <br /> Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If a person shows anger to you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster.<br /> <br /> Without a sense of equanimity, unbiased love and compassion cannot even get started.<br /> <br /> Today, when we face problems or disagreements, we have to arrive at solutions through dialogue.<br /> <br /> If we want spiritual development, the practice of patience is essential.<br /> <br /> When you have moistened your mind with love, you can begin to meditate on compassion.<br /> <br /> If you treat people as brothers or sisters, they respond accordingly.<br /> <br /> Without inner peace, without inner calm, it is difficult to find lasting peace.<br /> <br /> Everyone can understand from natural experience and common sense that affection is crucial from the day of birth; it is the basis of life.<br /> <br /> Non violence is a sign of strength; violence is a sign of desperation and weakness.<br /> <br /> Taking care of our neighbors’ interests is essentially taking care of our own future.<br /> <br /> Wonderful spiritual qualities, such as unbounded love and compassion, are present as potentials in all our minds.<br /> <br /> An open heart is an open mind.<br /> <br /> Friends, genuine friends, have much more to do with whether we have a warm heart, not money or power.<br /> <br /> We have the ability and the responsibility to choose whether our actions follow a virtuous path or not.<br /> <br /> Religion have become synonymous with deep philosophical issues, but it is love and compassion that lie at the heart of religion.<br /> <br /> By extending our ordinary feelings of love and concern beyond their usual biased limits, love is freed from the restrictions of attachment.<br /> <br /> We should value our enemies because they provide us with unique opportunities to practice patience, tolerance and forbearance.<br /> <br /> When I speak about love and compassion, I don't do so as a Buddhist, or a Tibetan, or as the , but as one human being to another.<br /> <br /> The most important thing is to have a sense of responsibility, commitment, and concern for each of our fellow human beings.<br /> <br /> The world's major religious traditions all give the development of compassion a key role.<br /> <br /> When we wish to help others and try to do so, our attitude is more positive and relationships become easier.<br /> <br /> To arrive at certainty, you need to start from a skeptical posture. The best scientists are impartial, not swayed by their own beliefs.<br /> <br /> Only through kindness and love can peace of mind be achieved.<br /> <br /> The quality of altruism is fundamental, in my opinion, and will fill our daily lives with serenity and happiness.<br /> <br /> The aim of spiritual practice is to become the friend of all beings, concerned about them and ready and able to help them.<br /> <br /> All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.<br /> <br /> Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.<br /> <br /> Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.<br /> <br /> I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.<br /> <br /> If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.<br /> <br /> If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.<br /> <br /> If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.<br /> <br /> In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.<br /> <br /> It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.<br /> <br /> It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.<br /> <br /> Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.<br /> <br /> My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.<br /> <br /> Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.<br /> <br /> Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.<br /> <br /> Sleep is the best meditation.<br /> <br /> Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.<br /> <br /> The purpose of our lives is to be happy.<br /> <br /> The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.<br /> <br /> The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.<br /> <br /> There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.<br /> <br /> This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.<br /> <br /> Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.<br /> <br /> We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.<br /> <br /> We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.<br /> <br /> Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.<br /> <br /> Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.<br /> <br /> With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.<br /> <br /> Links Dalai Lama News <br /> <br /> <a class="addthis_button" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;username=allstars"><img alt="Bookmark and Share" height="16" src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" style="border: 0pt none;" width="125" /></a><br /> <script type="text/javascript"> var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};

Dalai Lama” <br /> Happiness comes through taming the mind; without taming the mind there is no way to be happy. <br /> When you generate a reasoned desire for others to be happy, your humanity increases in strength. <br /> The more contact we have with one another and the more we come to understand each other’s values, the greater will be our mutual respect. <br /> Enemies teach us inner strength, courage and determination. <br /> I feel that a sense of compassion is the most precious thing there is. <br /> The point of our existence is that, as human beings, we live purposeful, meaningful lives. <br /> Even a small experience of altruism brings a measure of mental peace right away. <br /> If you focus only on yourself and neglect others, you will lose; but you will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself. <br /> The practice of love can be expressed in one sentence: ‘Do not harm others’. <br /> We must work to resolve conflicts in a spirit of reconciliation and always keep others' interests in mind. <br /> Moral ethics are the basis of world peace. <br /> We need an inarable combination of material and internal, or spiritual, progress. <br /> Love and compassion arising with a clear recognition of the importance and rights of others will reach even those who would do you harm. <br /> Put this question to yourself: should I use everyone else to attain happiness, or should I help others gain happiness? <br /> You must not consider tolerance and patience to be signs of weakness. I consider them signs of strength. <br /> My own experience, and that of others, has shown me the degree to which positive mental attitudes bring happiness to oneself and others. <br /> A calm and peaceful mind is something very essential. <br /> The message of love and compassion will travel far and wide if all who follow a spiritual path work together in harmony and mutual respect. <br /> If we try to secure the well-being of others, we will, at the same time, create the conditions for our own. <br /> The quality of altruism is fundamental, in my opinion, and will fill our daily lives with serenity and happiness. <br /> Whatever steps, however small, one can take towards learning to reduce the influence of the negative emotions can be very helpful. <br /> We need to consider how our actions, in affecting the environment, are likely to affect others. <br /> If we develop a good heart, real appreciation, love and compassion for others, our life will improve. <br /> Meet hostility and suspicion with kindness. Helping others out of love is always the best option. <br /> It seems wrong to think kindness is exclusively the business of religion; something to be neglected if one isn’t interested in spirituality. <br /> The world's major religious traditions all give the development of compassion a key role. <br /> If you use violence, you get temporary satisfaction. But the nature of violence is unpredictable – it gives rise to unexpected results <br /> All good qualities must be sown and cultivated. We can’t expect to change overnight from an ordinary person into one with high realizations. <br /> To control negative physical and verbal actions, it is necessary to get at their root, the mind, and tame it. <br /> If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them. <br /> We must generate courage equal to the size of the difficulties we face. <br /> The very purpose of spiritual practice is to help others. <br /> Taking a realistic view and cultivating a proper motivation can also shield you against feelings of fear and anxiety. <br /> Whether we like it or not, we're all connected, and it is unthinkable to be happy all by oneself. <br /> Love, compassion and concern for others are real sources of happiness. <br /> The practice of cultivating altruism has a beneficial effect not only from a religious point of view but also from a mundane point of view. <br /> We are all part of the human community. <br /> Compassion is a deep desire to see others relieved of suffering; love is the other facet, a strong wish to see others happy. <br /> We all have the right to lead happy lives. <br /> Being motivated by compassion and love, respecting the rights of others – this is the real practice of religion. <br /> Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If a person shows anger to you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. <br /> Without a sense of equanimity, unbiased love and compassion cannot even get started. <br /> Today, when we face problems or disagreements, we have to arrive at solutions through dialogue. <br /> If we want spiritual development, the practice of patience is essential. <br /> When you have moistened your mind with love, you can begin to meditate on compassion. <br /> If you treat people as brothers or sisters, they respond accordingly. <br /> Without inner peace, without inner calm, it is difficult to find lasting peace. <br /> Everyone can understand from natural experience and common sense that affection is crucial from the day of birth; it is the basis of life. <br /> Non violence is a sign of strength; violence is a sign of desperation and weakness. <br /> Taking care of our neighbors’ interests is essentially taking care of our own future. <br /> Wonderful spiritual qualities, such as unbounded love and compassion, are present as potentials in all our minds. <br /> An open heart is an open mind. <br /> Friends, genuine friends, have much more to do with whether we have a warm heart, not money or power. <br /> We have the ability and the responsibility to choose whether our actions follow a virtuous path or not. <br /> Religion have become synonymous with deep philosophical issues, but it is love and compassion that lie at the heart of religion. <br /> By extending our ordinary feelings of love and concern beyond their usual biased limits, love is freed from the restrictions of attachment. <br /> We should value our enemies because they provide us with unique opportunities to practice patience, tolerance and forbearance. <br /> When I speak about love and compassion, I don't do so as a Buddhist, or a Tibetan, or as the , but as one human being to another. <br /> The most important thing is to have a sense of responsibility, commitment, and concern for each of our fellow human beings. <br /> The world's major religious traditions all give the development of compassion a key role. <br /> When we wish to help others and try to do so, our attitude is more positive and relationships become easier. <br /> To arrive at certainty, you need to start from a skeptical posture. The best scientists are impartial, not swayed by their own beliefs. <br /> Only through kindness and love can peace of mind be achieved. <br /> The quality of altruism is fundamental, in my opinion, and will fill our daily lives with serenity and happiness. <br /> The aim of spiritual practice is to become the friend of all beings, concerned about them and ready and able to help them. <br /> All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives. <br /> Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. <br /> Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. <br /> I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. <br /> If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them. <br /> If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it. <br /> If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. <br /> In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher. <br /> It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them. <br /> It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come. <br /> Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. <br /> My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. <br /> Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day. <br /> Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them. <br /> Sleep is the best meditation. <br /> Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent. <br /> The purpose of our lives is to be happy. <br /> The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness. <br /> The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis. <br /> There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. <br /> This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. <br /> Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life. <br /> We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection. <br /> We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves. <br /> Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace. <br /> Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion. <br /> With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Links</b> <a href="http://dalainews.blogspot.com/p/dalai-news.html">Dalai Lama News</a><br /> <br /> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.yourhosting.nl/goto-actie.php?afid=22291488&amp;id=4"><img src="http://www.yourhosting.nl/affiliate/banners/468-60.gif" alt="hosting nl domeinnaam checken" width="468" border="0" height="60" /></a>Dokter Infohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06568392817707398271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215365768220511704.post-47650592271101079152012-02-15T20:32:00.003-08:002016-08-16T18:58:25.879-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <br /> </h3> <div class="post-header"> </div> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"> </h3> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <hr> Buddha top 50 Qoutes&nbsp;</h3> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://beroemdecitaten.blogspot.nl/2012/02/buddha-top-50-qoutes.html"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmm-paeOx0gHnMmfCtovTD5fQZqbyuqYsKIoh_8YR1syRW89oP98AKmB1nJgcZlfkfehtHQUbggRKBCVDWwJySgB-Xk9lIRq-J7u_suEfw7rbuGX4DVFyJ7W_ayntD21pOP1J2qYdgHZ5W/s320/boeda+water+fall.gif" width="200" /></a> </h3> <hr> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"> &nbsp;</h3> <div class="post-header"> </div> <hr /> <hr /> Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.<br /> <hr /> Buddha<br /> <hr /> <hr /> Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind.

Are you falling in love?<br /> <br /> <br /> How do you know if you are in love? how do know you when you are in love? how often have you asked the question am I in love?<br /> <br /> To quote Christian from Baz Lurhman's film Moulin Rouge "Love is like oxygen! Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!"<br /> <br /> Do you remember the first time you asked yourself am I in love? The curious thing about love is the variety of ways in which Cupido's arrow can strike. Sometimes its love at first sight other times it creeps up on us and catches us unawares. A sure sign of that is when everyone else can see what's happening and you respond with a coy "oh no we're just good friends"<br /> <br /> Because the question 'am I in love?' is a rhetorical question it means we are trying to make sense of a whole range of feelings and events. Why did they leave that coffee cup next to mine? why do I get butterflys when they get into the elevator with me? why do I find everything they say so incredibly hilarious?<br /> <br /> I remember the first time I asked myself the question. I was 14 years old. It was quickly followed by 'why am I in love?', 'is this what love is?' and 'how do I know if they love me too?'. This happened when I was on holiday, and had to spend 2 weeks away from my 'girlfriend'. I had a massive crush and spent most of the holiday sketching remembered images of her. When I got back she'd got together with another guy! So the question was answered point blank.

Your not just my love, your my heart. Your not just my heart, your my life, Your not just my Life.....You are my Everything<br /> <br /> <br /> Corinthians chapter 13:<br /> <br /> If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love,<br /> <br /> I am nothing.<br /> If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.<br /> <br /> Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.<br /> <br /> Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.<br /> When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.<br /> <br /> So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Tags<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> romantic quotes-cute love quotes-love quotes- quotes<br /> <br /> </div> </div>Dokter Infohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06568392817707398271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215365768220511704.post-54633647231033076622012-02-08T09:34:00.000-08:002012-02-08T09:34:11.457-08:00<a class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="freelancemarkt" href="http://twitter.com/share">Tweet</a><script src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"> </script><a class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" href="http://twitter.com/freelancemarkt">Follow @freelancemarkt</a><br /> <script src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"> </script><br /> <div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6107305556853943794"><h3><a href="http://superorgasm.blogspot.com/2011/05/top-50-love-tips.html">Love is All You Need</a></h3><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimi2x1PScxb8NsFsJiaMAJ_CNOiFY2xUREA78wg9xNcvXyWRX1z7-nGeiSUSvmUfGjl-1H5QoCLCeYAWAX71l70CeEOPWw-3M6GUNPzr2YmPpLrGo2Y5yNlWGgAHCZ_aJxyzaGXeTHPuF9/s1600/s+ramonas.jpg" /><br /> <br /> <b>Sex is not a race</b><br /> Sex isn't a race, so take time to explore her. Focus on her thighs and lower belly. Make a mental circle 2 inches around the outside of her vagina and don't cross the line while you kiss, lick, and caress.<br /> <br /> <b>Give a woman plenty of Time</b><br /> If you want morning sex, set your alarm at least 20 minutes early. A woman won't want sex if she's hurried, and she'll probably need about 20 minutes to reach orgasm.<br /> <br /> <b>Grunts are Better Than Nothing</b><br /> She'll give longer and more enthusiastic oral sex if you give her a verbal response. Even appreciative grunts are better than silence.<br /> <br /> <b>Vary the Stimulation</b><br /> When you're all the way inside her, add side-to-side movement or up-and-down pelvic pressure against her clitoris to vary the stimulation.<br /> <br /> <b>Make a Fantasy Lottery</b><br /> Both you and your lady write five sexual fantasies down on five separate notebook cards. Then head to a restaurant where you can get a booth and some privacy in a public setting. Over dinner and wine, pull out the cards and make three piles "yes," "maybe someday," and "not on your life." Put the possibles in a shoe box, and once a month pull out a winner.<br /> <br /> <b>Mimic Her Style</b><br /> Ask her to kiss your earlobe with the same pressure she prefers during oral, then cop her style next time you're south of the border.<br /> <br /> <b>Exercise Together</b><br /> Work out together. Think of it as fat-burning foreplay. It will raise her dopamine levels, easing her anxieties. Bonus: Your post-run sweat has androstadienone, a testosterone derivative that spikes her arousal when she smells it.<br /> <br /> <b>Ignore Bombshells</b><br /> Remain calm when a decked-out bombshell strolls by and you'll be sending the message that you're too smart to be wowed by a Wonderbra and red lipstick.<br /> <br /> <b>Give Her the Perfect Compliment</b><br /> The best compliments are the ones that involve multiple senses. "You have beautiful breasts" is nice. "You have beautiful breasts they feel so soft and warm in my hands" is that much more intimate.<br /> <br /> <b>Don't Give in to Temptation</b><br /> If a woman who knows you're spoken for comes on to you, it's flattering. It's tempting. But remember that she's doing it to feed her own ego, not yours. She wants to see how much power she holds over you. And if you take her bait, she then knows she must be superior in every way to your sweetie. Deep down, she has nothing but contempt for both your male weakness and your mate's existence. That should really piss you off.<br /> <br /> <b>Find Her G-Spot</b><br /> Use your thumb to press on her G-spot, as if you were making a thumbprint on her vaginal wall. You're shooting for the area about 2 inches inside the vaginal opening, on the front side.<br /> <br /> <b>Use Your Tongue Wisely</b><br /> When kissing, don't use your tongue like a dart (in and out, in and out). Instead, try varying motions and amounts of pressure.<br /> <br /> <b>Doggy-Style the Right Way</b><br /> Doggy-style tip: For over-the-top stimulation of her most nerve-packed parts, keep thrusting short and shallow, rather than deep and fast.<br /> Tell Her What She Wants to Hear<br /> Words she loves to hear: "I want to make you feel good."<br /> <br /> <b>Hang Out with Your Married Pals</b><br /> Looking for The One? Don't abandon your spoken-for friends. A guy with a wife or live-in girlfriend has an expanded social circle meaning he knows more women (that he could potentially introduce you to) than he did when he was single.<br /> <br /> <b> </b><br /> <b>Keep Contact Indirect</b><br /> The nerve-packed clitoris actually extends several inches under the skin on either side of her vagina (like a wishbone), which means you can massage it without direct pressure to the bud. Trace the extensions with flat, wide, extra-wet tongue strokes or slow finger zigzags. (Don't forget lube.) Then rub a slow spiral around the top, drawing closer with each pass. The combo of anticipation and indirect contact will bring her pleasure centers to life.<br /> <br /> <b>Send Her a Letter</b><br /> Write her a letter one that does not involve a laser printer or an e-mail address. Write what you feel, but the ruling sentiment should be one of gratitude and confidence in your future together. Then mail it to her.<br /> <br /> <b>Give Her a V</b><br /> To increase clitoral contact when she's on top, make a V with two fingers, and place it so the point of the V (just between the two knuckles) is directly over her clitoris. Your fingers should come down on either side of your penis as she rides you. This will stimulate the clitoris, inner labia, and urethra&nbsp; as well as add intensity for you.<br /> <br /> <b> </b><br /> <b>Call Her within 48 Hours</b><br /> A beautiful woman gave you her number; use it within 48 hours. Otherwise, you'll look scared or stupid for resorting to high-school mind games.<br /> <br /> <b>Leave a Confident Voicemail</b><br /> If you get her voicemail, leave a message. To convey confidence, your voice should be deep and moderately loud. Stand up and hum a little before you call it will bring your voice to the ideal pitch.<br /> <br /> <b>Don't Go South During Foreplay</b><br /> During foreplay, agree that the genitals are off-limits. Touch the other parts of her body, using fingers, a feather, a silk scarf, or anything that turns her on, and ask her to describe how it feels. This builds the tension until you're both ready to explode.<br /> <br /> <b>Ease into Dirty Talk</b><br /> Want to know if she likes to talk dirty? Tell her, "You make me think dirty thoughts." Ease in slowly. It's best to test the waters a bit, rather than immediately go for your deepest, kinkiest dirty talk right off the bat.<br /> <br /> <b>Flatter Her 5 Times a Day</b><br /> Compliment her at least 5 times a day. It'll make her feel special, appreciated, and closer to you. And the more connected she feels, the more sexually inspired she'll feel.<br /> <br /> <b>Shop for Cologne She Likes</b><br /> If you don't have a cologne that she likes, shop for one with her. It's a form of foreplay.<br /> <br /> <b>Hold Her Hand</b><br /> Holding hands can work as an aphrodisiac. It shows her you're devoted and proud to tell the world.<br /> <br /> <b>Assume a New Position</b><br /> Assume the Cuban Plunge sex position: As you assume the man-on-top position, ask her to bring her knees to her chest and drape her legs over your shoulders. Her vagina will be elongated and extended, and your penetration will be deeper and more pleasurable for her, which qualifies as a win-win situation.<br /> <br /> <b>Praise Her</b><br /> Compliment her in front of your friends.<br /> <br /> <b>Just Kiss</b><br /> The next time you kiss her, don't try to steal second. Just kiss. Men use kissing primarily as a means to an end to advance sexual relations. Yet women mainly use kissing as a way to monitor the status of the relationship, and especially a partner's commitment level.<br /> <br /> <b>Keep the Lights Low</b><br /> One of the biggest reasons women can't relax during sex is body image. Keep the lights low. A candle? Perfect.<br /> <br /> <b>Show Her Passion</b><br /> "Passion" means being in the moment and not being distracted. Sex is a conversation, and she doesn't want to feel like you wish you had your BlackBerry.<br /> <br /> <b>Whisper Fantasies in Public</b><br /> Lie on a blanket in a park, with people all around, and whisper fantasies to one another, sparing no detail. You'll create sexual tension but with safety, as there's no possibility of sex then and there.<br /> <br /> <b>Create Anticipation</b><br /> Use anticipation as an aphrodisiac. Instead of tearing her clothes off, take your time. Tell her what you want to do with each section of exposed skin.<br /> <br /> <b>Tell Her to Go Slow</b><br /> Words she loves to hear: "It's OK to go slow." Say it and mean it.<br /> <br /> <b>Sit at a 90-Degree Angle</b><br /> On a dinner date, always position yourself at a 90-degree angle to her rather than straight on. If she sits at the end of the table, sit in the first seat to her left. Turn toward her from the waist, which will give her the opportunity to turn toward you.<br /> <br /> <b>Don't Agree to Disagree</b><br /> When you and your girlfriend disagree, never agree to disagree. Agreeing to disagree shuts down the communication process and resolves nothing. And the less comfortable she feels communicating, the less confident she'll feel about the relationship.<br /> <br /> <b>Ask Her for a Kissing Lesson</b><br /> Ask her to demonstrate what she considers a sexy kiss. Then let her do all the work. It's educational…and fun.<br /> <br /> <b>Mix Things Up in Bed</b><br /> Don't be afraid to mix things up in bed. Sexual novelty re-creates those early-relationship, take-me-now hormones.<br /> <br /> <b>Fund a Sexy Shopping Spree</b><br /> Fund an erotic shopping spree. Write out a gift certificate with an expiration date that coincides with your evening at a hotel. If she prefers to shop alone, let her either way, you'll find out what interests her.<br /> <br /> <b>Start Volunteering</b><br /> Join a volunteer group. Selflessness is sexy and research has shown that women consider altruism more important than men do. To show your selfless stuff, join a Meetup volunteer group<br /> <br /> <b>Start Sex in a New Place</b><br /> Start sex outside the bedroom. The same old place leads to the same old patterns. So explore some new erogenous areas: The kitchen. The bathroom. Quebec City. Your bodies will be in new places, making it unlikely that you'll follow old routines.<br /> <br /> <b>Offer Her Chocolate</b><br /> Feed her chocolate: It'll load her up with phenylethylamine, a neurotransmitter that activates the brain's pleasure center, and caffeine, which can jolt her sex drive.<br /> <br /> <b>Ride in an Overnight Train</b><br /> Take an overnight train with your girlfriend or wife. There's the excitement of traveling in a novel way. And there's your sleeping compartment. It's a new place and it moves, which adds a new dynamic to sex. And it's somewhat public: There's the excitement when you're in flagrante delicto as the train stops, and people are outside your window.<br /> <br /> <b>Use Appliances as Vibrators</b><br /> Here's a new place to have sex: on the washer. Your washing machine produces more vibration than any other appliance in the home. When your butt's on the lid, the motion is transmitted through your penis, essentially turning your member into a life-size vibrator.<br /> <br /> <b>Stop the Elevator</b><br /> New Place to Have Sex IV: the elevator. Try a freight elevator. It won't have an alarm, and you can stop it between floors for more privacy.<br /> <br /> <b>Seduce Her in Your Car</b><br /> Relive the past. Take her to the garage and reclaim a space you long ago ceded: Seduce her in the backseat of the car. It feels a little public, it's steeped in testosterone, and there's a throwback, high-school quality to it.<br /> <br /> <b>Earn Your Right to Experiment</b><br /> Sexual experimentation is earned, not inherited. It requires time, tact, and trust: 66 percent of the women we surveyed said they're most willing to experiment later in a relationship.<br /> <br /> <b>Give Her a Proper Warmup</b><br /> Clitoral contact in particular feels abrasive without a proper warmup. If a woman yips or inhales suddenly when you go there instead of purring or moaning you've jumped the gun.<br /> <br /> <b>Try a New Sex Position</b><br /> Try the Yab-Yum sex position: You both sit up, and she faces you, sitting on your lap with a pillow under her bottom for easier penetration. You'll have constant contact with her clitoris, but she'll control the pressure.<b> </b><br /> <b> </b><br /> <br /> <b>Use Your Beanbag Chair</b><br /> Another new place to have sex: in a beanbag chair. You can contour it to any shape, and it'll support you in unaccustomed ways. Doggy-style sex works great when she's on her belly, draped over the amorphous blob (that's the chair, not you).<br /> <br /> <b>Have Sex in a Forest</b><br /> New Place to Have Sex III: a national park. If the missus likes to vocalize, pitch your tent in Alaska's Denali National Park, where 6 million untamed acres and a crowd-thinning permit system leave little risk of waking the neighbors. She'll gasp in delight when the midnight sun bathes the Big One (that's Mt. McKinley, buddy) in salmon pink light.<br /> <br /> <br /> </div><span class="post-author vcard"> </span><br /> <br /> <b>More&gt;&gt;&gt; Liefde en Relatietips</b><br /> <br /> <br /> <b><span style="font-size: small;">Laat je waardering zien! </span></b><br /> <br /> <b>Liefdestips voor singles</b><br /> <b>&nbsp;</b> <br /> <br /> 1. Leef je leven alsof je een relatie hebt Beschouw een relatie als leuke toevoeging, maar niet als noodzaak. Wacht met op paardrijles gaan niet op de ware. Smeer 's avonds toastjes voor jezelf en drink wijn en kook je eigen kerstdiner. Als je dat doet, komt er vanzelf iemand aanwaaien die dat ook leuk vindt.<br /> <br /> 2. Werk niet morgen maar nu aan je problemen Een relatie lost niets op en problemen werken afstotend. Als je denkt 'niemand vindt mij leuk', komt er niemand op je af. Terwijl mensen die net verliefd zijn drommen aanbidders hebben. Iedereen wil iemand naast zich die geluk uitstraalt, in de hoop dat het geluk op hem of haar overslaat.<br /> <br /> 3. Gun je zelf een partner en schat je eigen kansen positief in Geloof dat je al een relatie hebt, om er één te krijgen. Visualiseer maar eens in een kroeg dat 'hij' naar je kijkt. Wedden dat het binnen een minuut gebeurt!<br /> <br /> 4. Leer van je voorgaande liefdeservaringen Wees je er daarnaast van bewust dat mensen vaak de relatie van hun ouders als voorbeeld nemen voor hun eigen relaties. Het kan bijvoorbeeld zo zijn dat je afknapt op een man die veel liefde toont, als je eigen vader niet echt liefdevol is.<br /> <br /> 5. Luister niet naar negatieve verhalen over datingbureaus en internet Schrijf je gewoon in. Voor elke mogelijk doelgroep - van homoseksuele Joden tot bewust kinderlozen - heb je wel een datingbureau of -site. Pin je niet op één bureau vast. Beschouw het als experiment en probeer er verschillende uit. Pas alleen op dat je je niet blauw betaalt.<br /> <br /> 6. Wees kritisch bij het zoeken Neem geen genoegen met de eerste de beste voorbijganger. Je moet bij je partner verschillende soorten chemie voelen: vertrouwen, veiligheid, passie. Blijf niet hangen bij die getrouwde man om na twee jaar te ontdekken dat hij tóch niet gaat scheiden. Je kunt beter vijf keer kappen met een relatie na vijf maanden. Dan heb je na twee jaar je droompartner gevonden. Als je telkens pas na vijf jaar de knoop doorhakt, ben je zo 25 jaar verder.<br /> <br /> 7. Zoek niet naar de perfecte man of vrouw Die bestaat niet! Maak voor een date geen ellenlange verlanglijstjes. Als je je date door een testbatterij haalt, voelt hij dat en loop je het gevaar dat hij al bij voorbaat geen zin heeft in een relatie. Wees jezelf tijdens een afspraakje en geef de ander ook die kans. Heb niet de illusie dat je hem kunt veranderen.<br /> <br /> 8. Vertel in je omgeving wat voor partner je zoekt Grote kans dat iemand zegt: 'Ik ken zo'n vrouw.' Onderzoek of en hoe je jouw "ware" kunt ontmoeten. Ga net zo vaak én in stijl gekleed naar een golfclub totdat je die rijke man hebt gespot. Bedenk verder dat je partner goed bij je moet passen. Denk aan dingen als karakter, werk, woonsituatie en geloof. Zoek je partner liever niet in de kroeg maar in een theater of bij een activiteiten-club.<br /> <br /> 9. Op elk potje past een deksel Vrouwen klagen dat de vijver voor mannen groter is dan die voor hen. Omdat het wel geaccepteerd is om als hoogopgeleide man een relatie te beginnen met een laagopgeleide vrouw en andersom minder. Realiseer je als vrouw dat een schooldiploma niet zaligmakend is. Er zijn genoeg intelligente mensen zonder diploma en ook hoeft een relatie niet te draaien om diepgravende gesprekken. En al is die vijver van hoogopgeleide mannen niet groot: één man is genoeg.<br /> <br /> 10. Vrees niet voor een nieuwe relatie, maar geef je over aan liefde Natuurlijk gaat iedereen weleens op zijn bek en moet je niet te veel littekens op je ziel krijgen. Maar vaak voel je van tevoren aan dat een relatie stukloopt. Bijvoorbeeld bij die getrouwde vrouw of wanneer hij niet terugbelt.<br /> <br /> 11. Als het lukt om een leuke partner te vinden, is het belangrijk dat je een tijd geniet en ontspant voordat je nieuwe wensen uit Maak je niet meteen zorgen dat het stukloopt of dat hij wel echt de ware is. Vrouwen houden ervan om te laten zien dat ze waarde toevoegen aan je leven en dat ze een verschil maken. Vrouwen zijn over het algemeen zorgzaam en dit is een subtiele vaardigheid en kracht die zij van nature hebben. Dus als je een bepaalde vrouw wilt hebben, verzet je dan niet als ze erg zorgzaam overkomt. Ze doet dit door te laten zien dat ze wil helpen, je aanmoediging en steun te bieden op allerlei manieren, om haar geloof in jou en haar enthousiasme voor jou interesses en leven te tonen en er altijd voor je te zijn.<br /> <br /> <b>Liefde tips kunnen makkelijk zijn</b><br /> <br /> Reageer op wat zij doet!<br /> <br /> Toon je waardering voor alles wat ze voor je gedaan heeft, al is het nog zo klein. Laat haar weten dat je haar waardeert om wat ze voor je heeft gedaan en om wie ze is. Als ze dit hoort, kan ik je verzekeren dat je al halverwege bent om haar hart te winnen. Als je moeilijk je gevoelens uit, kun je je waardering tonen door gebaren, glimlachen, opgewektheid en een positieve houding. Heb je er moeite mee om deze natuurlijke vriendelijkheid van vrouwen te ontvangen? Ze is blij met je en laat dat op deze manier merken. Zolang jij daar moeite mee hebt, wil je haar niet echt hebben.<br /> <br /> Maar als dat wel zo is, zul je haar heel blij maken als je deze tip toepast en je waardering toont voor haar. Waarom je niet mee moet doen met alle anderen Voor het geval je het nog niet wist, als vrouwen een partner kiezen, zijn ze selectief. Ze observeren de mannen om haar heen zorgvuldig. Zo heb ik eens bij een sportclub waar ik lid van was, gezien hoe veel mannen belangstelling hadden voor een bepaalde vrouw. Ze deden allemaal erg hun best om haar aandacht te krijgen en het haar naar de zin te maken.<br /> <br /> <br /> Ze kreeg een relatie met een man die ook lid was van deze club maar die niet meedeed met déze wedstrijd. Hij was van nature wat stiller en bleef zichzelf. Daardoor kreeg hij haar aandacht. Door zich te onderscheiden van de anderen. Betekent dit dat je uitzonderlijke dingen moet doen om jezelf te onderscheiden? Nee. Wat je moet weten is dat vrouwen zorgvuldig rondkijken en aandacht schenken aan mannen die in hun gezelschap zichzelf zijn en blijven. Is dat omgekeerd niet ook zo? Mannen houden ook van vrouwen die met zelfvertrouwen blijven wie zij zijn. Je hoeft je niet anders voor te doen dan je bent en het is ook niet nodig om je uit te sloven om de aandacht van de ander te trekken. Uiteindelijk val je toch door de mand, als je elkaar beter leert kennen, kun je dít spel niet volhouden. Het is misschien wel een van de belangrijkste liefde tips.<br /> <br /> <b>Ga voor de diepe liefde in je leven</b><br /> <br /> Ga voor meer liefde in je leven en pas de onderstaande tips toe.<br /> <br /> <br /> 1. Wees bewust dat j ij en ieder ander mens liefde nodig hebt<br /> <br /> We hebben liefde nodig om te fysiek en mentaal te groeien, zelfvertrouwen te krijgen, vertrouwen te hebben in onze omgeving en creatief in het leven te staan.<br /> <br /> Voor enkele pioniers op het gebied van de liefde is de uiting en verspreiding van liefde zo belangrijk dat ze een persoonlijk project beginnen. Denk maar aan knuffelcampagnes over de hele wereld en bijvoorbeeld ‘The Valentine Peace Project‘.<br /> <br /> 2. Vind balans tussen geven en nemen<br /> <br /> Het geven van liefde gaat altijd samen met het ontvangen van liefde. Het is belangrijk om de liefde toe te laten, zodat de balans van de liefde niet scheef gaat staan. Zodra dit gebeurt, krijg je te maken met teleurstellingen, achterdocht, jaloezie, ruzies enz.<br /> <br /> 3. Gun de ander het plezier van ‘liefde geven’<br /> <br /> Wanneer je de liefde van de ander toelaat, zul je voelen met welk plezier de ander deze liefde geeft. Gun de ander dit plezier, zodat de liefde tussen jullie kan stromen.<br /> <br /> 4. Versterk de relaties die je hebt<br /> <br /> Het onvangen van liefde versterkt de relaties die je hebt. Als je continue geeft en liefdevolle gebaren van anderen afwijst, zul je op een gegeven moment merken dat je deze gebaren niet meer hoeft af te wijzen. Ze komen simpelweg niet meer op je pad. Voel je verbonden met de ander door te ontvangen wat je krijgt.<br /> <br /> 5. Sta open voor verrassingen<br /> <br /> Liefde klopt soms op onverwachte momenten op je deur. Koester deze momenten vanwege de speelsheid, puurheid en creativiteit van degene die energie en aandacht heeft geschonken om je te verrassen.<br /> <br /> 6. Verwen jezelf<br /> <br /> Wees lief voor jezelf waardoor het makkelijker wordt om liefde van een ander te ontvangen. Ga bij jezelf na wat je nodig hebt. Wat zijn jouw behoeften en wensen? Bedenk vervolgens manieren om hier invulling aan te geven.<br /> <br /> 7. Durf liefde te ontvangen<br /> <br /> Je wilt zo graag naar dat ene concert en een goede vriendin wil het entreekaartje aan je cadeau geven. Dat was nog voor je verjaardag, zegt ze! Durf het te ontvangen. Neem dit waanzinnige cadeau in ontvangst met beide handen. Wat je nog te doen staat, is ten volste genieten van het concert.<br /> <br /> 8. Ja, ik accepteer<br /> <br /> Het leven is soms zo simpel. Een kort en krachtig zinnetje: ‘Ja, ik accepteer!’, kan heel wat los maken. Het voelt misschien nog wat ongemakkelijk, maar hoe vaker je het oefent in situaties waarin je liefde ontvangt, hoe makkelijker het wordt.<br /> <br /> Maak het leven leuker door meer liefde in jouw leven te ontvangen. Het zorgt ervoor dat de cirkel van de liefde blijft stromen. Zeg het wat vaker tegen jezelf. Ja, ik accepteer! En meer liefde volgt.<br /> <br /> Hoe kom je erachter of de persoon waar je een relatie mee hebt ook echt de ware voor je is?<br /> <br /> Het is namelijk best moeilijk om te ontdekken of je voor altijd bij diegene wilt blijven, ook al ben je stapelverliefd.<br /> <br /> Weten dat je relatie een toekomst heeft, geeft je een gevoel van zekerheid. De beslissing dat je je leven met iemand voorgoed wilt delen is een zeer belangrijke stap. Iedere vrouw heeft dan ook weer andere eisen die ze hanteert. Om op een snelle manier te kijken of jouw huidige partner de liefde van je leven is zijn hier de volgende tips.<br /> <br /> <b>10 essentiele liede adviezen</b><br /> <br /> 1. Je vertelt je partner alles wat je niemand anders verteld.<br /> <br /> We bedoelen niet de dingen die je eruit flapt als je bijvoorbeeld net een glaasje teveel op hebt, maar als je de behoefte hebt om intieme dingen over jezelf met hem te delen. Dit betekent namelijk dat je hem vertrouwd en vertrouwen in je partner is een succesvolle basis voor op de lange termijn.<br /> <br /> 2. Je respecteert hem.<br /> <br /> Je laat hem in zijn waarde en voelt geen behoefte om hem als persoon te veranderen. Er zullen waarschijnlijk wel dingen zijn waar je je soms aan irriteert in het dagelijks leven. Misschien is de manier waarop hij kippenpootjes afkluift, of zijn enorm lelijke lievelings t-shirt, of het systematisch laten rondslingeren van zijn spullen. Je zou een aantal van zijn eigenzinnige trekjes liever anders zien, maar je neemt hem zoals hij is met alles inclusief.<br /> <br /> 3. Je wilt hem voorstellen aan je ouders.<br /> <br /> Je bent trots op hem en je wilt met hem pronken. Je hebt er dan ook vertrouwen in dat je ouders net zo gek op hem zullen zijn als jij.<br /> <br /> 4. Je ziet een toekomst samen met elkaar.<br /> <br /> De dagen dat je jouw voornaam met zijn achternaam in schriftjes schrijft omringt door hartjes is nu wel voorbij. Het gaat om het feit dat je weleens wegdroomt en een leven met elkaar voor je ziet, één waarvan je altijd al gedroomd hebt.<br /> <br /> 5. Je bent niet bang om het met hem oneens te zijn.<br /> <br /> Je weet dat hij naar je luistert en je serieus neemt, als je een meningsverschil of ruzie hebt. Zelfs als hij denkt dat je ongelijk hebt behandelt hij je met respect en gedraagt hij zich op een volwassen manier.<br /> <br /> 6. Je wilt samen met hem werken aan grote verschillen.<br /> <br /> Cruciale verschillen tussen jullie beiden die impact kunnen hebben op de toekomst, ga je niet uit de weg. Je kan bijvoorbeeld verschillende religieuze opvattingen hebben die niet zomaar te veranderen zijn, maar waar je wel met hem aan wil werken. Je bent er ook van overtuigd dat jullie zeker tot een compromis zullen komen.<br /> <br /> 7. Jullie kunnen met elkaar lachen.<br /> <br /> Lachen is één van de simpelste maar belangrijke dingen in het leven en samen plezier kunnen maken is dan ook van belang in een relatie. Het delen van dezelfde humor, om elkaar kunnen lachen of uitlachen onder het mom toelachen is allemaal meegenomen.<br /> <br /> 8. Je kan jezelf zijn bij hem.<br /> <br /> Je voelt niet de neiging om je anders voor te doen dan je bent. Je bent ook niet bang om te zeggen wat je denkt, in afwachting van zijn oordeel of mening. Je voelt je bij hem op je gemak.<br /> <br /> 9. Je wilt bij hem zijn.<br /> <br /> Je voelt het verlangen om bij hem te zijn en tijd met hem door te brengen. Je hebt hem in je leven nodig, maar bent niet afhankelijk van hem.<br /> <br /> 10. Je bent niet meer zo jaloers.<br /> <br /> Je hebt er geen problemen mee dat als hij uitgaat met vrienden of in het gezelschap is van andere vrouwen. Je hebt ook geen jaloerse of negatieve gevoelens tegenover eventuele vrouwelijke vrienden. Jullie laten elkaar jullie eigen vrienden en hobby’s hebben.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Hoe contact te leggen?</b><br /> <br /> <br /> Oogcontact, een oprechte glimlach en een verzorgd uiterlijk kunnen u op weg helpen naar een succesvolle versierpoging.<br /> <br /> 1. Ogen<br /> <br /> Er zijn zogenaamde 'billenmannen', 'borstenmannen' en 'benenmannen', en voor vrouwen geldt dat ze over het algemeen het eerst naar het achterwerk kijken. Maar voor de ogen heeft iedereen een zwak. Het is wetenschappelijk aangetoond dat oogcontact voor directe aantrekkingskracht zorgt. Zorg ervoor dat u altijd net iets langer in de ogen van uw gesprekspartner kijkt dan nodig.<br /> <br /> Deze techniek werkt vaak goed bij vrouwen, die het leuk vinden als een man door haar wordt 'betoverd'. Als een vrouw binnen 45 seconden opnieuw oogcontact zoekt, is ze meestal geïnteresseerd.<br /> <br /> Laat uw ogen over het hele gezicht glijden. Als dit positief wordt ontvangen, kan de blik uitwijken naar nek, schouders en bovenlijf. Een tip voor vrouwen: doe alsof u zich schaamt als hij u 'betrapt' terwijl u naar zijn lijf gluurt. Mannen moeten iets voorzichtiger zijn met het laten zakken van de blik.<br /> <br /> 2. Lachen<br /> <br /> Simpel maar doeltreffend en erg belangrijk: lachen. Het is een pure vorm van lichaamstaal en laat zien dat de interesse is gewekt. Laat de glimlach langzaam op uw gezicht verschijnen, dat oogt veel oprechter dan een prompte tandpastaglimlach.<br /> <br /> Voor vrouwen geldt: lach om de grapjes van uw afspraakje. Als u iemands aandacht wilt trekken binnen een groep, zorg dan dat u als eerste om een grap of scherpe opmerking lacht. Dat schept een band. Mannen moeten ervoor zorgen dat ze respectvol en vriendelijk glimlachen of grijnzen, zonder dat dit pervers overkomt.<br /> <br /> 3. Ambiance<br /> <br /> Wie zijn of haar date ergens mee naartoe neemt, moet ervoor zorgen dat de omgeving strookt met de sfeer die moet worden gecreërd: elegant, ontspannen of misschien wel artistiek. Het gezelschap zal diens gevoel bij de sfeer van de ruimte op u projecteren.<br /> <br /> Vrouwen beoordelen een man vaak op het soort locatie waar hij haar mee naartoe neemt, zeker tijdens een eerste afspraakje.<br /> <br /> 4. Verzorging<br /> <br /> Ook als het afspraakje een vrijblijvend en ontspannen karakter heeft, moet u er verzorgd en leuk uitzien. Veel vrouwen waarderen een man die aandacht besteedt aan zijn uiterlijk, dus zowel mannen als vrouwen moeten kleding van goede kwaliteit dragen.<br /> <br /> Vrouwen moeten er aantrekkelijk uitzien - niet te verwarren met goedkoop. Draag bijvoorbeeld een ietwat onthullende bovenlaag, die u op het juiste moment gemakkelijk en nonchalant kunt uittrekken .<br /> <br /> 5. Fysiek<br /> <br /> Samen grenzen opzoeken is een bewezen 'aphrodisiac'. Het is daarom leuk en effectief om samen iets spannends te gaan doen waarbij zomaar ineens fysiek contact kan ontstaan, zoals het kijken van een horrorfilm.<br /> <br /> Laat u bij het plannen van een activiteit inspireren door wat voor de ander grensverleggend is en bespreek naderhand de wederzijdse ervaringen onder het genot van een hapje of drankje.<br /> <br /> 6. Inleven<br /> <br /> Zonder van de eigen principes af te stappen, kunt u proberen zich zo goed mogelijk in te leven in de overtuigingen van de ander. Let er hierbij op hoe hij/zij reageert bij het bespreken van onderwerpen en toon hierbij dezelfde emoties: toon afkeer, medeleven en verbazing wanneer dit aan de andere kant van de tafel ook gebeurt.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Tags<br /> <br /> Liefdetips Love Tips Relatie Tips Top Liefde Tips Love Tips Top 50 <br /> The Hot Top 50 Love tips from RLNW&nbsp; Top 50 liefdetips en advies.<br /> Gratis liefde tips voor een duurzame gelukkige relatie<br /> <p>Qoutes<br /> <p><a href="http://twitter.com/twitqoutes" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false">Follow @twitqoutes</a><br /> <script src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br /> <p><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="twitqoutes">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></p>Dokter Infohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06568392817707398271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215365768220511704.post-36628820556856444912012-01-18T02:55:00.001-08:002012-01-18T02:55:26.110-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /> <br /> I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> I just wanted to get back to playing attacking football after my time in Italy. It was a little difficult at first but the atmosphere and the fans were just fantastic.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> I love playing football, being out on the pitch with a ball, and I will be a little sad when that ends.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> I think it is time to call it a day, and watch the game from the stands.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> I think these awards are always nice for a player but they also reflect well on the club. It shows that Arsenal's performance have been noted all around the world and it helps by having so many good players around me.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> In Holland and Spain and France, where so many of us come from, people aren't interested in the sex lives of their players. We don't hear these stories - even in Italy where the media is right on top of football.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> It will be a hard game if you think about winning a championship. We need to think about our own game at the moment and focus on getting good results especially over the Christmas period.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> My aim is to play as many games as possible and to go out and be one of the 11 players again.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> Our two biggest rivals had adjusted their whole season to this one aim of beating us. Of course, it is a big compliment that they were so motivated to stop us but it was very tough to face two matches like that so close together. Suddenly three trophies are down to one.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> So here, at Arsenal, we are often surprised when we are shown some of the newspapers, and at the bottom of an article there is a line saying if you know of anyone who had an affair with a player, call this number. It is very strange to us.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> So I took it as a very positive sign that the club came to me rather than the other way round.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> Sometimes you feel the emotion. You think this might be my last pre-season or my last Champions League match. But, overall, those thoughts aren't important right now. But the time will soon come.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> The regular things in my life now - training sessions and playing matches - will all fall away. That will leave a big empty space and it will need to be filled.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> We're still a great team. In your mind you can understand that but, emotionally, we needed to express the same belief. We came out full of fire and scored two early goals, two really beautiful goals, and that changed everything.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> What a ball from Frank. Frank and I go back years. He used to do that when I was at Ajax.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp<br /> <br /> When you beat a team so often - especially like this season when Chelsea had already lost three times to us - you know people expect you to do it again. But you also know they're going to be even more motivated to finally win.<br /> Dennis Bergkamp</div>Dokter Infohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06568392817707398271noreply@blogger.com0
