There is nothing holier in this life of ours than the first consciousness of love, the first fluttering of its silken wings. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
She should have died hereafter; There would have been time for such a word. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. MacBeth, Act V Scene V, MacBeth, William Shakespeare
On the worst of worst days, remember the words spoken Trust no one, only yourself. With great power, comes great consequence. What is given can be taken away. Everyone Lies. Everyone Dies. - "Diary of Days" from Casey Anthony's myspace page....now deleted.
My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, both are infinite. ~ William Shakespeare
The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself. ~ Jane Addams The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity. ~ Andr? Gide It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them. ~ Alfred Adler The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. ~ Socrates When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty. ~ George Bernard Shaw

So my wife said she read this article in a magazine and she said: "You know, maybe you're suffering from premature ejaculation. " Yeah, does it look like I'm suffering? Those aren't tears on your belly. ~ Robert Schimmel
"Sh!t, my brother! That ol' girl is bat-draggin' ugly! But she do have a nice ass." - Garland "Man, I told that truckdriver to get out of his cab so I could dog-cuss 'em!" - Garland "Whatcha problem is, boy? Men work on these here docks." - Garland My good friend Garland passed away last Monday. He was one of the few people left in this world who knew the definition of the word, "friend" and "loyalty". Twelve years is too short of a time to know a man like Garland.
Garland, to look at him, was grizzled and broken down. He had fire within him, though, and you could see it in his eyes. The fire was "life", he loved every minute of it. Took it easy, took it in strides, didn't sweat the petty sh!t, and gave a piece of his heart to everyone. To know him was to love him. He lived every minute of his life for the benefit of his family and friends.
As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless. ~ Rodney Yee
If you can imagine it you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it. ~ William Arthur Ward
You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it. ~ Malcolm X
Be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. ~ Henry Van Dyke
