Guest guest Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Some thoughtful one liners : ) ==================== A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. " - Mark Twain Love your enemies; it will drive them nuts. Life may have no meaning. Or even worse, it may have a meaning of which I disapprove. The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled. Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, " Where have I gone wrong? " Then a voice says to me, " This is going to take more than one night. " My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right. A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. The trouble with life is there's no background music. To change everything...simply change your attitude. Do you always want to be right, or do you want to be happy? Every day we are given stones. What do we build with them? A bridge, or a wall? You wouldn't be worried about what people think of you if you knew how seldom they actually do. When confronted with a Goliath-size problem, which way do you respond-- " He's too big to hit " , or " He's too big to miss " ? Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the trip! The biggest lie on the planet: " When I get what I want, I will be happy. " If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanists eat? Defeat isn't bitter, as long as you don't swallow it. I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant ~ before I realized that people didn't like me anyway. I've learned.... That life is tough, but I'm tougher. : ) jay Vivekananda Centre London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
