How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct.

"You must always work not just within but below your means If you can handle three elements, handle only two. If you can handle ten, then handle only five. In that way the ones you do handle, you handle with more ease, more mastery, and you create a feeling of strength in reserve."

Actually, I have a second one. It's hung over my desk for going on 10 years now:
"Still there are moments when one feels free from one’s own identification with human limitations and inadequacies. At such moments, one imagines that one stands on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at the cold yet profoundly moring beauty of the eternal, the unfathomable; Life and death flow into one and there is neither evolution nor destiny; only being” - Albert Einstein _____________________

If you overly esteem talented individuals, people will become overly competitive. If you overvalue possessions, people will begin to steal. Do not display your treasures or people will become envious. The Master leads by emptying people's minds, filling their bellies, weakening their ambitions, and making them become strong. Preferring simplicity and freedom from desires, avoiding the pitfalls of knowledge and wrong action. For those who practice not-doing, everything will fall into place. -- Lau Tzu _____________________

"Summum crede nefas animam praeferre pudori et propter vitam vivendi perdere causis."
or.... "Count it the greatest sin to prefer mere existence to honor, and for the sake of life, to lose the reasons for living." (Not my translation, I'm not that clever.) _____________________

Out of all of the things I've lost its my mind that i miss the most. Ozzy Osbourne haha, that's just reminded me of a great Ozzy Osbourne quote, something he said on the TV series. As he's looking over the set for a show, he takes a look up and says: "Bubbles! Oh come on Sharon! I'm fucking Ozzy Osbourne, I'm the Prince of fucking Darkness. Evil! Evil! What's fucking evil about a shitload of bubbles!?" Aye, the Brummie has a knack for it, however trashed he may be these days  _____________________

My all time favorite quote...
"Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness. Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to insure any possible benefit for which you may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said benefit. I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony. Amen." -- Last Rights, a prayer from an "Agnostic Dad" in Roger Zelazny's "Creatures of Light and Darkness" (c)1969. -- "The car could only get two radio stations, both at the same time, but it was good rock'n'roll so they listened to it anyway." -- (misquoted from Douglas Adams' "Mostly Harmless" |
