Pearls I stole from other people.

Expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person is like expecting an angry bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.-- Shari R. Barr


 For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.-- Alfred D. Souza


Your self-confidence is directly connected to how much you feel you are making a difference in your world. --Brian Tracy

Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead. --Scottish Proverb


And my current favourite, quite appropriate to my situation right now:


Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. --H. L. Mencken

That Souza quote is one of my favorites. :)

"Nothing is true unless it makes you laugh, but you don’t really understand it until it makes you cry."
-Robert Anton Wilson

I have been an avid Robert Anton Wilson reader in my day. ;)

I just added you, because I feel stupid for not doing so before. You's good people!

[oceanic.livejournal.com]

Aww, yay! Danke.

Heheh...all good points. Where did you get these?

Those and many more came from here: http://www.indianchild.com/QUOTATIONS%20PAGE.htm

I like to collect quotes that fit or knock me out of a certain mood. :D

I am so stealing that Scottish proverb.

[xiane.livejournal.com]

It really just sums it up so well, yes?
