Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence."


Aristotle

[JMH]

You are the call and I am the answer,
You are the wish, and I the fulfilment,
You are the night, and I the day.
What else - it is perfect enough.
It is perfectly complete,
You and I,
What more--?


Strange, how we suffer in spite of this.

by D.H. Lawrence
(1885-1930)

“Love isn't finding a perfect person.
It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.


Mary Frye

From both Jan and I

For our departed loved ones
and those who love them

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.

Few men are brave by nature, but good discipline and experience make many so.
Good order and discipline in an army are more to be depended upon than ferocity. ~ Niccolò Machiavelli ~

 

[JMH]

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,
a smile, a kind word, a listening ear,
an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Leo Buscaglia

[iamkenIT]

Imagining living in a universe without purpose may prepare us to better face reality head on. I cannot see that this is such a bad thing. Living in a strange and remarkable universe that is the way it is, independent of our desires and hopes, is far more satisfying for me than living in a fairy-tale universe invented to justify our existence.
Lawrence M. Krauss

Wisdom begins in wonder.

[iamkenIT]

It's important to remember that the relationship between different media tends to be complementary. When new media arrive they don't necessarily replace or eradicate previous types. Though we should perhaps observe a half second silence for the eight-track. — There that's done. What usually happens is that older media have to shuffle about a bit to make space for the new one and its particular advantages. Radio did not kill books and television did not kill radio or movies — what television did kill was cinema newsreel. TV does it much better because it can deliver it instantly. Who wants last week's news?
Douglas Adams

 

[Shintaro]

To be old and wise, you first need to be young and stupid.

Thoughts create realities.

You cannot get the truth by capturing it, only by its capturing you. ~ Søren Kierkegaard ~

The best proof of love is trust.

Dr. Joyce Brothers



The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

Stephen King



Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

Ralph Waldo Emerson



The senses deceive from time to time, and it is prudent never to trust wholly those who have deceived us even once.

Rene Descartes



Trust yourself.
You know more than you think you do.”

Benjamin Spock

What usually happens in the educational process is that the faculties are dulled, overloaded, stuffed and paralyzed so that by the time most people are mature they have lost their innate capabilities.

"Faith is much better than belief. Belief is when someone else does the thinking."

Absence is to love
What wind is to fire;
It extinguishes the small,
It enkindles the great

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Michel de Montaigne

Confidence in others' honesty is no light testimony of one's own integrity.

[zigzag3143]

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”



“Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when the person looks back-she will hear her heart”


Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
