But he cannot sit on it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nothing is dangerous for the state,

As those who would govern kingdoms

With maxims found in books.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Water faraway

Cannot put out a fire nearby.

It’s only helpful if you don’t have to use it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marriage without love

Means love without marriage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love is a growing, or full constant light;
And his first minute, after noon, is night.

The fire which in the heart resides,

The spirit bloweth and is still,

In mystery our soul abides

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A spur in the head

Is worth two in the heel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ninety percent of inspiration is perspiration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Give him an inch

And he’ll take a mile

Not just to create distance…

But to see who cares enough,

To run behind

And pull you back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Never take someone for granted

Hold the person who love you most

Cause you might wake up one day and realize

You’ve lost a DIAMOND

While you were too busy

Collecting STONES.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Never get discourage when things go beyond your expectations.

Always remember that the greatest story in life is not winning,

But rising every time we fall.

It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal
~ Oscar Wilde

We always love those who admire us, and we do not always love those whom we admire.
~Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary quantities. These may for the most part be summed in these two: common-sense and perseverance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The man who makes a sucess of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidense in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can’t be done.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The only medicine for suffering, crime and all the other woes of mankind, is wisdom.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–You may succeed with another blow, Success is failure turned inside out–The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
