Time heals all wounds...

One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it - Sidney Howard

I wonder if people ever stop to think that what they want could require some sacrifice on their part. All to often we want things, but don't want to give things up for them. 'Course often times people think "want" and think things like becoming rich and famous. To me want is things like wanting to better one's self, wanting to be happy, wanting to be in love.. all these require a person to give things up. You want to better yourself, you have to give up whats holding you back. You want to be happy you have to give up the things that are keeping you from being happy, you want to fall in love you have to give up the things that are blocking that. It sounds really simple..but it all makes sense if you think about it.


It's not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts. - Adlai Stevenson

Indeed! Live your life.. don't go through life wishing and waiting, make things happen. Don't always put off things. Be happy! You only get to go around one time.


One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated. - Thomas Moore

Just because you have book smarts doesn't mean that you know everything there is to know. Often time life's lessons don't come in a book.


Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well. - The Buddha

I love this one.. it's kind of along the lines of all good things must come to an end. Nothing lasts forever, not even redwood trees. Live in the moment and enjoy what you've got.


Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant. - Robert Louis

This one really makes me think... it's not what you get back, it's what you put into it. If you only give a halfassed effort, don't expect to get much back. Be proud of what you do, rather than proud of what it gets you.


The glow of inspiration warms us; it is a holy rapture. - Ovid

Yes! What is life without inspiration? All art, music, books, etc. are born from inspiration... the world would be a sad and dreary place without it.


The way to happiness: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. - Norman Vincent Peale

Truer words have never been spoken.. it's hard to do though.


Joy is not in things; it is in us. - Richard Wagner

How many people look to material things for happiness? Granted that these things can make one happy.. but that happiness doesn't last.



I love quotes.. they tend to be though provoking and fun. Everyone has a different take on what they mean, so it's always interesting to hear what other people's thoughts are on them.


Didn't get much sleep last night.. had a lot going through my mind. Life has a lot of ups and downs, life a roller coaster.. you never know what is around the next corner, but it's the thrill of finding out that keeps up on it.
