| 35071ff | Have you ever felt time slow so much that that it almost appears to stop? Ever listened to a clock when the next tick seems to take forever to follow the last tock? | Joseph Delaney | ||
| 420abb7 | If we're afraid, sometimes there are things that can feed on that fear. Fear makes it worse for us. The trick is to concentrate on what you can see and stop thinking about yourself. It works every time... | Joseph Delaney | ||
| dfa1316 | Ive chosen my path - and right or wrong, it's the one I tread. | Joseph Delaney | ||
| ddc9a15 | Everybody tells lie sometimes, she replied . Wouldn't be human if you didn't. But mostly I tell the truth. - Alice | Joseph Delaney | ||
| 5aa7f04 | I have been fellow to a beggar again and again under circumstances which prevented either of us finding out whether the other was worthy. | Rudyard Kipling | ||
| dde0111 | Now Rann the Kite brings home the night That Mang the Bat sets free-- The herds are shut in byre and hut For loosed till dawn are we. This is the hour of pride and power, Talon and tush and claw. Oh, hear the call!--Good hunting all That keep the Jungle Law! | Rudyard Kipling | ||
| fba3180 | A man-trained boy would have been badly bruised, for the fall was a good fifteen feet, but Mowgli fell as Baloo had taught him to fall, and landed on his feet. | Rudyard Kipling | ||
| 54ffdbe | What of the hunting, hunter bold? Brother, the watch was long and cold. What of the quarry ye went to kill? Brother, he crops in the jungle still. Where is the power that made your pride? Brother, it ebbs from my flank and side. Where is the haste that ye hurry by? Brother, I go to my lair to die! | Rudyard Kipling | ||
| 8e44cb8 | If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, | Rudyard Kipling | ||
| 84c014a | Ye've a furtive look in your eye - a furtive, sneakin', poachin' look in your eye, that 'ud ruin the reputation of an archangel! | Rudyard Kipling | ||
| 3763e7a | He drew from under the table a sheet of strangely scented yellow-Chinese paper, the brushes, and slab of India ink. In cleanest, severest outline he had traced the Great Wheel with its six spokes, whose centre is the conjoined Hog, Snake, and Dove (Ignorance, Anger, and Lust), and whose compartments are all the heavens and hells, and all the chances of human life. | balance human-life ignorance life lust the-wheel-of-things | Rudyard Kipling | |
| 326d0d3 | An increasing cackle of complaints, orders, and jests, and what to a European would have been bad language, came from behind the curtains. Here was evidently a woman used to command. | Rudyard Kipling | ||

| dc889a2 | One is taught to refrain from irony, because mankind does tend to take it literally. In the hearing of the gods, who hear all, it is conversely unsage to make a simple and direct statement. So what is one to do? The dilema needs a whole volume to itself. | Max Beerbohm | ||
| 416dd7a | I hold no preconceived prejudice against anyone," he'd said, "because to do so is utter folly for someone in my line of work. It's only ignorance that causes individuals to label an entire race as either good or bad. These are generalities so broad as to be both worthless and dangerous. I deal only in specifics. God as they say, is in the details. I must focus on the unique traits of the individual in order to tailor an illusion that will u.. | Jeffrey Ford | ||
| a2c9884 | Sam: It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the .. | Fran Walsh & Philipa Boyens & Peter Jackson | ||
| 333dc50 | Callahan's Law: | Spider Robinson | ||
| 6f1e126 | He smiled like a sun lamp. | Spider Robinson | ||
| 0ac505c | You can only make choices for yourself. You can offer to help others find their way, but it is their decision if they will accept your help. You cannot force them to accept, even if you are in the right. | Brian L. Weiss | ||
| e84caa6 | For you know that you can get nothing more out of this lifetime. When you have time, when you have had the time to rest and re-energize your soul, you are allowed to choose your re-entry back into the physical state. Those people who hesitate, who are not sure of their return here, they might lose the chance that was given them, a chance to fulfill what they must when they're in physical state." I" | Brian L. Weiss | ||
| 4723981 | Our task is to learn, to become God-like through knowledge. We know so little. You are here to be my teacher. I have so much to learn. By knowledge we approach God, and then we can rest. Then we come back to teach and help others." I" | Brian L. Weiss | ||
| 301907f | Do you know what hate feels like? Ten thousand pounds upon our shoulders. Every time that we are judged or we judge others, another pound is added, until our bodies are so heavy that we cannot move. | Brian L. Weiss | ||
| 9976b37 | That we must share our knowledge with other people. That we all have abilities far beyond what we use. Some of us find this out sooner than others. That you should check your vices before you come to this point. If you do not, you carry them over with you to another life. Only we can rid ourselves ... of the bad habits that we accumulate when we are in a physical state. The Masters cannot do that for us. If you choose to fight and not to ri.. | Brian L. Weiss | ||
| f597227 | You might look into the eyes of an infant, born mere minutes ago, to find that she is a thousand years old. Their limitless warmth and wisdom belie her true age. | Brian L. Weiss | ||
| 271548e | Because destiny had a different plan. They were supposed to meet later. People come into our lives at certain times for various reasons having to do with lessons to be learned. It is not a coincidence that they didn't meet at a much earlier age when they did not have other commitments. I think the reason people meet later is to learn about love in many different ways and about how to balance this with responsibility and commitment. They'll .. | Brian L. Weiss | ||
| 32907da | When I saw the illustration a new idea came to me. Might it not be possible to have Satsuko's face and figure carved on my tombstone in the manner of such a Bodhisattva, to use her as the secret model for a Kannon or Seishi? After all, I have no religious beliefs, any sort of faith will do for me; my only conceivable divinity is Satsuko. Nothing could be better than to lie buried under her image. | Jun'ichirō Tanizaki | ||
| 55a7cf7 | A doctor, wanting more money to better provide for his family, raises his fees. By raising his fees, it makes health care more expensive for everyone. It hurts the poor people the most, so they have worse health than those with money. Because the doctors raise their fees, the attorneys raise their fees. Because the attorneys' fees have gone up, schoolteachers want a raise, which raises our taxes, and on and on and on. Soon there will be suc.. | Robert T. Kiyosaki | ||
| edb208f | Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. But have fun. Most people never win because they're more afraid of losing. | Robert T. Kiyosaki | ||
| 1533866 | The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth seemingly instantaneously. An untrained mind can also create extreme poverty that can crush a family for generations. | Robert T. Kiyosaki | ||
| 413e17b | But that is not how life teaches you, and I would say that life is the best teacher of all. Most of the time, life does not talk to you. It just sort of pushes you around. Each push is life saying, 'Wake up. There's something I want you to learn. | Robert T. Kiyosaki | ||
| 6cbb0c5 | more money will often not solve the problem. In fact, it may compound the problem. Money often makes obvious our tragic human flaws, putting a spotlight on what we don't know. That is why, all too often, a person who comes into a sudden windfall of cash--let's say an inheritance, a pay raise, or lottery winnings--soon returns to the same financial mess, if not worse, than the mess they were in before. | Robert T. Kiyosaki | ||
| 6a48376 | If your financial intelligence is low, money will run all over you. It will be smarter than you. If money is smarter than you, you will work for it all your life. To be the master of money, you need to be smarter than it. Then money will do as it is told. It will obey you. Instead of being a slave to it, you will be the master of it. That is financial intelligence. | Robert T. Kiyosaki | ||
| 7cf361f | Whenever you feel short or need of something, give what you want first, and it will come back in buckets. That is true for money, a smile, love or friendship. I know it is often the last thing a person may do, but it has always worked for me. I trust that the principle of prosperity is true, and I give what I want. I want money, so I give money, and it comes back in multiples. I want sales, so I help someone else sell something, so sales co.. | givers teaching | Robert T Kiyosaki | |
| 54cce3b | Finding your path means finding out what you were put here on this earth to do. What is your life's purpose? Why were you given this gift called life? And what is the gift you give back to life? | Robert T. Kiyosaki | ||
| 8ac2890 | CASHFLOW clubs are not for those who want to get rich quick. CASHFLOW clubs are there to support the long-term mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, and financial changes a person needs to go through. We all change and evolve at different rates of speed so you are encouraged to go at your own speed. | Robert T. Kiyosaki | ||
| 4a9a53b | We learn the most about ourselves when we fail, so don't be afraid of failing. Failing is part of the process of success. You can't have success without failure. | Robert T. Kiyosaki | ||
| d586555 | Readers, A few years ago, while I was writing Flood Tide, I realized that Dirk Pitt needed some help on a particular assignment, and so I dreamed up Juan Cabrillo. Cabrillo ran a ship called the Oregon, on the outside completely nondescript, but on the inside packed with state-of-the-art intelligence-gathering equipment. It was a completely private enterprise, available for any government agency that could afford it. It went where no warshi.. | Clive Cussler | ||
| f1ae68b | Sometimes, two people are made for each other. They may come from opposite ends of the earth. Their nations may be sworn to destroy one another. They may be avowed enemies from the very beginning. And it doesn't matter. They belong together. | Caitlin Brennan | ||
| a7eef6e | I may be wrong | Robert Fulghum | ||
| f2ad54e | Until you have experienced raccoons mating underneath your bedroom at three in the morning, you have missed one of life's sensational moments. | life-and-living | Robert Fulghum | |
| 6547b8a | Sweet are the silent places of the earth, | Marguerite Radclyffe-Hall | ||
| 694f5f5 | Outrageous...that wilfully selfish tyranny of silence evolved by a crafty old ostrich of a world for its own well-being and comfort. | Radclyffe Hall |
