* The night is not
forever.
* The best and the
most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen
nor touched but are felt in the heart.
* It is better to suffer
wrong than to do it, and happier to sometimes be
cheated than not to trust.
* Some
people can see at a glance what others cannot see
with searchlights and a telescope.
* Don't be afraid to
be afraid.
* Fear
brings more pain than does the pain it fears.
* If you must doubt,
doubt your doubts - never your beliefs.
* Nothing
is all wrong. Even a clock that has stopped is right
twice a day.
* I never knew a night
so black light failed to follow on it's track. I
never knew a storm so gray, it failed to have it's
clearing day. I never knew such bleak despair, That
there was not a rift somewhere. I never knew an
hour so drear. Love could not fill it full of cheer.
* We
can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the
dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid
of the light.
* He didn't know it
couldn't be done, but went ahead and did it.
* People
believe what they want to believe despite all the
evidence to the contrary.
* Resiliency is an
important factor in living. The winds of life may
bend us. But if we have resilience of spirit, they
cannot break us. To courageously straighten again
after our heads have been bowed by defeat, disappointment
and suffering is the supreme test of character.
* It's
weird how when you want something bad enough for
so long and you build up this perfect picture of
it; then when you get it, it's nothing like you
pictured it and now you kinda wish you never got
it but now it's too late to go back to dreaming
about it, when you already know now it wasn't even
worth dreaming about in the first place. ~Lesli
M.~
* It is with narrow-souled
people as with narrow necked bottles - The less
they have in them the more noise they make in pouring
it out.
* You
are my shadow. You bring the pain, you are the pleasure
pulsing through my veins. Blood to blood, life to
life. My breath is you, the taste of night. ~William
Shakespeare~
* Sometimes, just sometimes,
there will come a reality that surpasses the Dreams
to the point where you will no longer care about
whether it is even vaguely like the Dreams, nor
even care to remember what the dream was. ~VC~
* I don’t want to
wake up and realize what I was dreaming was right
in front of my shut eyes.
* We are made wise
not by the recollection of our past, but by the
responsibility for our future. ~George Bernard
Shaw~
* We
say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we
love trees, yet we cut them down. And some people
still wonder why some are afraid when they are told
they are loved. ~Unknown~
*I would Rather Live
in a world surrounded by mystery Then Live in one
so small that my mind could Comprehend it. ~Anon~
* Your
pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses
your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit
must break, that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain. ~Gibran, Kahlil~
* A man's true wealth
is the good he does in the world. Beauty is eternity
gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity
and you are the mirror. ~Gibran, Kahlil~
* She
who loves roses must be patient and not cry out
when she is pierced by thorns. ~Brouman, Olga~
* Do the thing you
are afraid to do and the death of fear is certain.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
* Many
of us spend our whole lives running from feeling
with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the
pain. But you have already borne the pain. What
you have not done is feel all you are beyond that
pain. ~Kahlil Gibran~
* Someone was hurt
before you; wronged before you; beaten before you;
humiliated before you; raped before you; yet, someone
SURVIVED ~Maya Angelou~
* Love
is not blind -- it sees more, not less. But because
it sees more, it is willing to see less. ~Rabbi
J. Gordon~
* Do not spoil what
you have by desiring what you have not; but remember
that what you now have was once among the things
only hoped for. ~Epicurus~
* As
we travel through life, we will all go through bad
experiences. But we don't need to let the bad experiences
prevent us from being what we should be. We should
always give life a second chance. ~Dinah Hanson~
* My love, for all
the brief time we have been together, I have yearned
for you. I have watched with jealousy and rage as
you bestowed your smile and affections on others.
Long have I waited the day in which I might turn
your heart towards me. It was only with the greatest
of self-control that I restrained myself until I
could prove a worthy suitor for that most precious
of gems.
If you would but consent to be my wife, I would
be your abject slave, asking only that I might bask
in the glory of your smile and the tenderness of
your touch. I would pledge to make eternity seem
but a moment of time with the depth of my love.
I would have the stars spell out your name, though
they are but a pale comparison for your beauty.
I would have the birds sing out in joy for every
smile you bestowed upon me. The very land would
carpet itself in sweet grass and flowers for you
to trod upon, if you would but consent to be my
wife.
The finest of wines sour when compared to the taste
of you lips. The sweetest of rose wilt with shame
when likened to the scent of your skin. Silk is
course when placed next the texture of your hair.
Were you to deny me the honor of being your husband,
I would waste away till naught remained of me but
a shriveled heart beating out eternity in pain and
despair.
Say that you will be mine, that together we can
shame the heavens with the beauty of our love making,
together we could do anything for we would have
the strength of love behind us. -- Dana
