"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained we must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature." -Abraham Lincoln I like it, I like it! But are they anything like the Flames of the Faltine, I wonder? The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, perhaps?

When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty, there arises the recognition of ugliness. When they all know the good as good, there arises the recognition of bad. Therefore being and non-being produce each other; difficult and easy complete each other; long and short contrast each other; high and low distinguish each other; sound and voice harmonize with each other; beginning and end follow each other. Therefore the wise manage affairs without interfering and teach beyond the words. All things rise, and they do not turn away from them. They give them life, but do not take possession of them. They act, but do not rely on their own ability. They accomplish, but claim no credit. Because they claim no credit, their accomplishment remains with them.  _____________________

"Mystic chords of memory," eh? I like it, I like it! You'd probably appreciate some of Leonard Cohen's lyrics if you like that one.  He has the same sort of flair for the melodic/poetic turn of phrase._____________________

Gotta love ol'e L. Cohen, the rabbi of sin himself.
As far as inspiriational quotes how about "Ihave a bad feeling about this" Master Obi Wan Kenobi. I always liked: "Water which is too pure, has no fish." Ts'ai Ken Tan _____________________

"To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world" - Iunno
"Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect-- But tell me the truth." - someone I can't remember "Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave." - Winnie The Pooh! "Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you." - William Arthur Ward "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs _____________________

Ok... these may not be typical quotes...

I've never much been one for rousing speeches - music and poetry are more my thing. I thought I'd include a few things I find inspirational - sorry if they're not to everyone's tastes
 "Hey you yeah you don't let it get to you, stressing you It's what they want you to do, Smile a while even though it hurts Even though it hurts Come on let them know they'll be no breaking you Love's gonna come around again, And again and again and on, Nothing new that go come around now child it won't be long." Maxi Jazz from the group Faithless - "Everything will be Alright Tomorrow" "I was born to catch dragons in their dens And pick flowers To tell tales and laugh away the morning To drift and dream like a lazy stream And walk barefoot across sunshine days. " James Kavanaugh - "Sunshine Days and Foggy Nights" "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult." - Seneca (Roman Philosoper & Statesman) and in a similar vein... "Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right!" - Henry Ford "I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create." - William Blake "You are Here" - Unknown "Children wish fathers looked but with their eyes; fathers that children with their judgment looked; and either may be wrong." - William Shakespeare |
