wrong answer!!

The strategy of life is so very strange, just when we have all the answers, life changes the question !

truth

In the time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

where i did not go...

Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden.
My words echo
Thus, in your mind.

Thomas Stearns Eliot

what love does...

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

James Baldwin

nobody said so

No one said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it.

brave men r tender in love

In the love of a brave and faithful man there is always a strain of maternal tenderness; he gives out again those beams of protecting fondness which were shed on him as he lay on his mother's knee.

George Eliot

time rhyme

I am tired of the imposed rhythms of men,
Tethered time, restrained and trained
To a monotonous beat
Digital time blinking exactness
Unliving.
~Phillip Pulfrey

Time

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

Albert Einstein

Dont say yes to please

A ‘No’ uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a ‘Yes’ merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble.

Gandhi

stand on the shoulders of yesterday's convictions...to see todays's

Often the convictions of one generation are the rejects of the next. That does not deny the possibility that, as time goes on, we shall accumulate some body of valid conclusions. But it does mean that we can acheive only by accumulation, that wisdon is to be gained only as we stand upon the shoulders of those who have gone before. Just as in science, we cannot advance except as we take over what we inherit, and in statecraft no generation can safely start at scratch, so personal, basic beliefs must be slowly built from our experience, but also from a study of the experience and conclusions of others.


- Learned Hand

discipline to listen and honour

It takes a disciplined person to listen to convictions which are different from their own.

Dorothy Fuldman

stand up for what u think is right

When you have decided what you believe, what you feel must be done, have the courage to stand alone and be counted.

rashaski Eleanor Roosevelt quotes

what brings beauty!!

Conviction brings a silent, indefinable beauty into faces made of the commonest human clay; the devout worshiper at any shrine reflects something of its golden glow, even as the glory of a noble love shines like a sort of light from a woman's face
Honore de Balzac quotes

walk your road

People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it- walk.

Ayn Rand

conviction

Never, "for the sake of peace and quiet," deny your own experience or convictions

Dag Hammarskjold quotes

let go to be....

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.


Lao Tzu

cost of being yourself to the fullest

IT COSTS SO much to be a full human being that there are very few who have
the enlightenment or the courage to pay the price. One has to abandon
altogether the search for security and reach out to the risk of living with
both arms open. One has to embrace the world like a lover. One has to accept
pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the
cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to
total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying.



Morris West

letting go

"Knowledge is learning something every day.
Wisdom is letting go of something every day."
~Zen Proverb~

To live in this world, you must be able to do three things:
to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones
knowing your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Mary Oliver

what makes it golden?

“You have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by. Yes, but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.”
James Matthew

It's alright to feel!!

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
Jim Morrison
