Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

— Mark Twain

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate.

The world is all gates, all opportunities.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You’re not going to make me have a bad day.



If there’s oxygen on earth and I’m breathing, it’s going to be a good day.

— Cotton Fitzsimmons

“There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.

— Douglas Everett

“I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.

– Diane Ackerman

“The big secret in life is that there is no big secret.

Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.

— Oprah Winfrey

I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.

"I ain't got no money. I ain't got no car to take you on a date and I aint got no teefes I can't even buy you flowers. But together we be the perfect soulmates. Talk to me girl..."

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within. :-4

It's not rocket salad!



(I think from Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps)

I kink; therefore I am.

The supreme prayer of my heart is not to be learned, rich, famous, powerful, or good, but simply to be radiant. I desire to radiate health, cheerfulness, calm courage, and good will. I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural, clean in mind and clean in body, unaffected, as ready to say I do not know, if it be so, and to meet all men on an absolute equality, to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid. I wish others to live their lives, too - up to their highest, fullest, and best. To that end I pray that I may never meddle, interfere, dictate, give advice that is not wanted, or assist when my services are not needed. If I can help people, I'll do it by giving them a chance to help themselves; and if I can uplift or inspire, let it be by example, inference, and suggestion, rather than by injunction and dictation. That is to say, I desire to be radiant - to radiate :-6

And now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love.

If you can't have what you want, want what you have.

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend.

Albert Camus

1913-1960, French Existential Writer

If you meet me, have some sympathy, have some curtesy and some taste,

Use all your well-learned politesse. Or I'll lay your soul to waste.
